Work in progress shots

Hi, its been a while hasn't it?  What's been happening with you?
I can no longer smell green stuff... its like air around me now.  Its trodden into my carpet, its under my nails, its even in my freezer (which stops it curing, you don't eat it.).  That may be a bad thing, being immersed in the stuff, but hey, miniatures are worth it.
So I thought I would show some works in progress to show that I am still alive; readers will remember that last thrilling episode I was buried under commissions.  Turns out, it did not prove fatal.

First up, we travel to darkest Scotland...

Early Work In Progress.  Laird of Loch Nastybeastie

The Laird here is roughed in, awaiting his top coat of green/brown stuff for smooth details and what have you.  I like to rough things in to get the energy right and trim them back before surfacing.  The skinned bugbear on his back will have more bulk and horns in the final version, and I am going to have a wee crack at some Celtic knotwork on him.  In order to get the Scottish influence I have been sculpting him on a diet of Haggis and Bruichladdich with a dash of spring water.  My wife hates haggis, but I love the stuff.  Unfortunately that means I overdose on it ever time I cook one.  As I am now allergic to chocolate, the Deep Fried Mars Bar is no longer part of my inspiration.

And now the biggie...  the first glimpse at The Burrow Guard for Dwerg series 2 - these are the variants from series 1 models.  Enjoy!
