Bar scene actually. I picture him standing on the bar. Thinking that he just won a drinking game with a passed out patron on the floor.

Nice wooden floor, how did you achieve such a nice effect?

I cut the balsa wood to the size I wanted. Following the natural grain of the wood, I took a razor knife and cut even slits in the wood for the spaces between the foor boards. I then black lined the groves. Once the paint was dryed I based coated each plank with Woodstain Brown and allowed to dry. Then Using Shield Brown I either dry brushed the wood allowing for the natural grain to show or drew the grain I wanted. I then finished up by adding knots using Woodstain Brown and the lining then with Shield Brown.

Bar and mugs. I need to fix the floor boards were it is cut off to show the wood grain.

Painted the bar Cream Ivory then aged it. I was thinking that the bar was once a nice but the bar went down hill.

The old bar was too small this one is a bit bigger. I still not sure what I should do with the mugs. I was thinking to keep them wood but I was also considering making them metal. Thoughts?

I figured out how to make saw dust/straw like substance from the bits of the basla wood. I will add this most likely to the floor.

I move to the figure tonight. Here is the axe. Kind a bad picture the color is off too.

I love pewter tankards, would look great if you painted them dull metal like these...

nice base. there's so many wooden parts there already, so I'd paint mugs metal.
axe blade has two dark spot along the edge. They are darker than other shadows, which makes them look almost like holes use the same dark shade to paint carved rune and other shadows.

I REALLY liek what you did with the Axe head. Teh figure looks great too. I especially liek the head stubble.

Lookign forward to watchign this one develop.

Here are some various messes I am planning on. Puke (upper left part) needs more bits.
