Ampersands stuff

He looks great, the dwarf sculpt was always my least favorite of the HQ boxed set, and now there is this great alternative in the same style.
Ill cast him in resin for you if you like?

[Sjeng]

Awesome! And you're in the UK too! Meaning shipping to NL isn't high at all, and no customs!
How much would one cost do you think?

I'll just let you two figure it out, and write me up for a set of heroes once you have them all done

[ampersand]

because it was asked.
heres some comparison and measurement shots

hes stands roughly 22/23mm which is about right id say. he is a little taller than the old HQ dwarf(who wasnt available for this photoshoot). but the above picture should give some rough idea. youll also see why i have no desire to make the barbarian.lol

[TMU]

If you don't do the barbarian, cast that one to the set

This dwarf is great. You should sand off the tip of his finger to give it more shape (not simply a sausage)

Cheers,

Don't mess with the Dwarfs saugsage . That's what make him stand out. If any of your other minis come out as good as this one you could have a viable source of income. Your first attempt is really good.

I know why your Dwarf is a little taller than the original Dwarf--his boots have risers. Would other Dwarves frown upon this? This would actually work well with those who like to add depth to the bases with tiling.

At first, I was worried about the pose fitting on a standard HQ gameboard, but from you comparison shot it doesn't look like there is a problem. I, myself, would prefer a bit more depth to the front of the helmet so that the brow ridge wasn't so pronounced. Another niggle about style, a slightly broader boot at the toe would fit a vintage set even better. Still, awesome work on its own. Your Dwarf can easily shrug off my opinions like a Goblin's attack. It may be a little early to say, but if all four Heroes get done, I'd almost certainly be interested in a purchase. Modding for my own tastes would be a simple thing.

Lol he is how he is.im a fan of character over perfection. Sausage fingers or not lol. Ironically i had already shaped that finger a little more after taken pictures...as for the 'risers' that was something i was touchin up...but im not doing too much more. Im a firm believer in when its done...uts done. And tweakig and touching up only spoils a creation. As flaws are what add to character and that is my ultimate goal. What people may or may not like about a sculpt is ultimately why we love them so much i think anyways boota may even down a little other than that...this is te finished article..im already worki on the wizard and elf.

[RemyT]

Yep carry on with the sculpted stuff, it's looking very good ( and even better painted, as always...)

I second this. Also, clean up the bottoms of his boots and his buckle. The arming nails incorporated in the dancetty of the haubergeon need filed into disc-shape. The spangenhelm could really use a crest.
