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?

Me and decent photos!

I indeed really like her! The whole mood the fig/paintjob breathes is awesome. In real life she's a bit darker though then you see here which makes even more threathening and menacing lloking!:)
Before holding the fig in my hands I never realised it was so petite making the job done even more impressive! well I've put enough feathers in mahon's ass (sorry , Dutch saying!) for now, hope the rest of the crew show more pictures soon!

@Nameless: I really like the mood you created here and the use of the flowers really gives the model a lot of character and sense of depth! The thought put into it with the chest and box is an extra nice touch!

1. Mahon's mini - nothing to be ashamed of! really nice paintjob.

for finishing your piece

2. My mini - story is long, but I'll share it with you

Knowing for a long time that I would stay at Mahon's place during gd, I decided to get the chest from Enigma and paint it with CoC colours as a small gift. After that I got Mahon as my recipient, so I developed this idea into what you see on the pics

Luckily I didn't forget about this model from freebooter range carrying a small box.
Mahon - I'm glad you like it. even if you don't - you still have a limited mini in your collection

3. Waiting for further pics and comments (not only from participants but all CoC members

Yep. but I had no mini to compare with the pic, and the pics were taken under artificial light, so they are worse than my usual photos...

Why wouldn't I like her? Nice mini, nice paintjob, excellent idea throughout the model. Thank you a lot!

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
