I finished off this lovely Bad Squiddo sculpt yesterday and spray-varnished her last night. Luckily, no fogging at all.
I can see here that I didn't manage to straighten her spear out perfectly, although it looks OK on the actual mini.
Here is the obligatory rear view. Nice cloak!
I love her shield with the Medusa's Head on it. This was a common design on hoplite shields, apparently.
I think that she is a spectacular figures and I hope that I have done her justice. I'm not sure what else I could have done, to be honest.
She will be my Goddess for my Of Gods And Mortals Greek warband, which will be an all-Amazon one.
You did a great job on that figure!
ReplyDeleteThank you. She wasn't easy, really. I thought that she would be, but not once I'd started on her.
DeleteBeautiful work
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Deletehow did you find attaching the owl? I really struggled with it myself.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't easy. The first attempt left me with a tiny owl glued to my finger, but I managed to remove it. The second attempt involved more superglue, plus a blob of blu-tack to keep it in place, which was a pain to remove, because superglue seems to make it really hard.
DeleteAnother excellent paint job, I always worry about figures standing on one leg, not so much when I paint it, more for its longer term fate!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking Athena. I'll give you a game of gods and mortals when the barn opens, I have the ruleset and an army but not played it yet.
ReplyDeleteMatt
Thanks! I've not played it either. It'll be the blind leading the blind;)
DeleteGreat looking figure, I love the subtle shading you have achieved on her cloak and you have got the facial details and hair done very nicely too!
