Title: Elf Ranger
Post by: Glen on May 12, 2015, 01:02:45 PM

This is a female Elf Ranger sculpted by Julie Guthrie using Green Putty (Kneadatite). I was a specially commissioned piece by Reaper for use in the basic and advanced flat painting classes at the recently concluded ReaperCon - four days of gaming and painting/sculpting classes and a comp with over 500 pieces of fantasy and historical figures, dioramas, and ordnance. Reaper Master Series Acrylic Paints over Tamiya Gray Fine Spray Primer.


Questions and Comments are welcomed.


Cheers,


Glen

Total agree Brian there are some great figures out there. That are not classed as ( true flats) As long as they are good figures what's the problem.

Well, I'm glad Brian kinda sorta likes it...  ;)


The piece was being sold at ReaperCon, but it doesn't appear on their website (they do mail order at http://www.reapermini.com/), so I've made some inquiries as to it's availability.


I have already started a minor conversion (can't leave well enough alone) by removing and/or altering some details and adding fur trim around the hood, cloak edge, and boot tops. Shooting for a winter piece in whites, blues, and white metals.
