My new mini. It's a little better than dreadnought but still have some problems. I'm quite happy with red cloth, semi-happy with skin tones, and I completly don't know how to make hair look decent. I was thinking to make them gray, but it looks horrible. Could use some help.

New model. Some time ago I bought 2 boxes of Chronopia miniatures "for testing". One box was unusable, because minis were destroyed by some kind of metal... sickness. Anyway I was left with some dwarfs and here is one I started to paint. First - the shoulder pads. As it is a "testing mini" I didn't take a good care for preparing it to painting. It will be seen in other pictures, if I'm going to finish this mini :)

That's some smooth blending on the back of his shoulder pads!
The edges need to be outlined better, but the model is looking promising.

But that's also one ugly mini.... :pale:

Why everyone is saying this? I think it's OK. Anyway it was cheap as hell, I'm testing some stuff on this and then throw away without mercy.

Here are another pictures from my Chronopia Dwarf. I mess up the body (mostly everything) but I'm quite happy with the skull :). And please don't ask me why it's taking so long...

ps. I receive more Chronopia figures and I must say they suck...

oh man, the model is REALLY BAD :lol: it would take a really good paintjob to make it look acceptable ;)
the gloves and bone parts are pretty well painted though. I'd add some dark blue to the shadows there and it would make them look more interesting

Are you talking about skull shadows? I've never thought about it...

the idea is to add complementary colors in shadows. check morsi's tutorial on our site for some more details.

This all I did with this Chronopia miniature. I'm quite happy with the shield and scull, unfortunately I made big mistake with pining, so I was unable to put this all together. After this I had some breakdown, depression and I make a short break from painting. Then I started painting another mini.

The mini is horrible, as most of my minis I bought from AoBR. The claw is only basecoated. I still need to shade/highlight it. I'm not sure if I should highlight the skin more.
