The Last Stand

posted by roman, jarhead, kong

Aloa jungle visitor,

in the next few lines I will again talk about my little private collection of little scared girls from Privateer Press. I will prepare a bigger post where all of those girls who went in and out of my collection will be summed up. Prepare yourself!

First let me tell you a little story about a postapocalyptic happening. The world is drowning in Anarchy, people kill people, the air is polluted a little bit, the sky is cloudy every day and hope has long left the place, BUT there are still some friends left who fight for survival.

This was my exchange figure to Sabine aka Holla die Waldfee in return to her figure she gave to me last year at the Duke of Bavaria. I did build and paint the base during two classes I did at the Adepticon. The animals are from Mantis Miniatures, conversion on one of them and also Legolas from GW has been converted to a postapocalyptic super-bowman! Hope you like it!

Keep on happy painting!

    Needed to add a bit more comments after reading it..

    I love the feeling in this dio, and think the conversion work are amazing. I saw it on CoolMiniOrNot the other day, and my only comment beside how awesome it looks is that bowstring need to be extended ;) and an arrow made and attached to bow. :)

    But it looks amazing..

    Got the look of despair about it, having to make a last stand with an old bow and arrow.. Great stuff and very well made.

    Dear Roman,

    thank you soo much for this wonderful piece of miniature painting. The atmosphere is great and I totally love it!

    Had absolutely no idea this bowman is Legolas but now that you mention it...

    My favourite detail in your scene is the meercat wearing this napoleonic hat :-))

    This privateer Press girl is such a great exchange mini because she has so many stories to tell...
    When I painted her for you I knew very quickly what the scene shoul look like, that was the easy part. When painting her, the girl sometimes made me swear like a sailor because she is so tiny but after all I really had lots of fun with this project, so thanks again for this mini exchange!

    Greetings from Kiel to Augschburg

    Sabine

    Roman,
    It was awesome watching you build this base at our Adepticon class... Awesome results!

    Question -- where is it you found those little animals? What's the website again?

    Thanks!
