1st Chest of Colors Miniature Exchange gallery

[mahon]

Oke, recipient gave permission to post!

My receipient was Demi.

Now it was hard and easy at the same time to find something for him. I wanted to paint something that would fit in with the rest of his miniatures, yet be original. I had a Skaven Plague Priest lying around that I had converted for a GD and immediatly settled on what I'd do for him!

Here are my crappy pics that Imho don't do the model justice. A lot of depth and highlights don't appear and especially the sword look cool which you can't see.

However they'll do and Demi will hopefully take better pics!

So here's what I received from Nameless:

He had a great idea to include two nice touches in this model: the big chest is the CHEST OF COLORS, while the small box is the BOX OF BRUSHES

I was lucky enough to get her much earlier, when Nameless visited us during his trip to Golden Demon

Thanks a lot, man! I appreciate it and it means a lot to me!

And now what I sent to Skrit:

As far as I know he liked her, so the goal was achieved. But why shouldn't a man like such a girl?

Not a stellar job (we've got other painters here for better paintjobs, after all), but I liked the color scheme enough to make parting with her difficult
Maybe I will paint another one for my own collection one day?

Not a paintjob to go "wow" about, but the thing I am proud about is that I actually managed to paint ANYTHING... which is a very rare accomplishment for me these days

No applause needed, just wanted to share

Ah, there will probably be no better pics (especially of the yummy other side...) as I had to hurry to meet the deadline and had no time to take good pics

But maybe Skrit manages to take some decent photos?

Pics of the mini I got from Demi
The postman first didn't want to give it to me, because Demi wrote Tomaz Peckerlord Thijs on the package

what can I say? I'm very glad the exchange is almost 100% successful, I'm even more happy I wasn't the one who didn't get the model
anyway I like a lot paintjob Skrit did on the plague priest - it looks much better in my display cablot than on pictures shown if I manage to find my camera I'll try to take new photos (although I'll probably have to invest in new equipment after x-mas madness )

btw, Skrit wrote: "Demi morgana Piotr Mikians" and I had no problem with getting my model from the postman

I'm gonna show him off to friends this weekend.

Now I just hope that Nameless gets his...

[Demi_morgana]

looks like PP brand dominated this exchange
great work ToMaZ!

[LadyEyes]

I sent a Reaper mini.

Actually... may I say what she is?

[mahon]

I like the miniature - very rusty. Pretty good job on the base too.
Yeah, right. PP dominated the exchange

Thanks Tanya, I love it haven't seen a better paintjob from you, I do appreciate it. If you have better pics, please post them.
Info for those not familiar with Reaper range - this is limited mini available only on one of ReaperCons (2006? 2007?).
