Hey all,
this is David, and today it is my great pleasure to share with you some pics of my most recently finished miniature: Bu, the Goblin. The mini is a wonderful little sculpt by Tre Manor (Red Box Games) - and it has been the first 28mm mini I have painted for some time...
The project was a quick and fun paint-job, which I painted as a present for a good friend's son. In terms of the color scheme, I definitely knew that I wanted something else than the standard "green-skin" goblin. So, I went with a nice, warm ochre-base tone. The base was an easy affair, as well: just a gaming base, some cork, a little Milliput and a couple of grass tufts.
BTW, if you're wondering: the name "Bu" is a little hommage to a RPG character I played a long while back. :-) I am looking forward to painting another Red Box goblin some time soon! As always, feel free to drop me a line or two in the comments section, below, or through my email at

All the best, talk to you soon!

We love these tiny goblins, and congratulations on the quality of your painting at such a small scale (actually much smaller than 28mm!).
The choice of a warm skintone is interesting, also in contrast with the cold colour of the hat. Perhaps a different tone of the earth on the base could make the miniature stand out more (?)
Thanks! Glad you like it. Best, D.
