Heya!
Some of you may already know the following from my blog but here's a summarized "WIP-Log" of what happened so far:
First things first - base had to be done:
I started by preparing the plinth, glued some corkboard at the back as a filler for a mountain wall so I won't have to use so much putty and on the last picture you can see eveything covered with milliput.

That's the base so far now off to the miniature itself:
First WIP with his face painted (upper body is only basecoated):

Continued with the front side of his upper body. I kept it pretty dark because most of it will be covered by his arms and therefore not visible at all or completey in a shadow area

That's it so far. Next step will be painting his back
