Wight - Painting: Home Stretch

The figure has been permanently transferred/mounted on its display base. . . but is it effectively "done"?

Yes. . . and no. The final finishing/integration can now begin in earnest; but, as always, the closer I get to the 'finish line', the slower the progress. . . 

Much more to follow. . .

  • The groundwork is a fait accompli! The boots have been fully integrated into the snow pack, and suitably weathered with 'frozen snow'.
  • The left wrist wrap/bandage has been painted.
  • Final finishing of the head/face has begun.

19.10.2022 -

  • The sword blade has been completed and has been permanently attached. The figure is now completely assembled!
  • The sword has been uc'd. 
  • The sword has been painted: basecoated with G-S Mr. METAL COLOR Iron lacquer, and lightly weathered with rust-coloured pigments. 
  • Final finishing of the figure as a whole can now begin in earnest. . .
