Blacksting, Wyvern (personal) is complete!

 This is the completed Blacksting, Wyvern from Reaper Miniatures. I liked this model so much, I wanted to see what I could do for a personal work. The color palette used was derived from a couple of the basing flock I have from Frontline Games. Forest Floor and Dark Soil. 

Blacksting:

The model came with a plastic slotta base, which is not supposed to be part of this model, so I had to do some sculpting on the base to make it much more stable and it looks a lot better than just sticking it in the base as it was shipped. The Artsy Fartsy base building. I've never done anything much in the way of sculpting, but it turned out really well, and the model is supported much better now.

This is the color palette I chose for this project.

The finished project:

A badly molded Reaper Blacksting, Wyvern 02636 #2 On the Table!

 This miniature is such a dynamic sculpt that I had to buy one for myself and see what I could do with the colors. Unfortunately, the miniature that I purchased was a factory defect. At some point, Reaper Miniatures produced a run that the base did not come out good enough so they shipped it with a plastic base instead. So I made my own. For a first try with putty, baking soda/cement mix, blue Tac and paint... it looks pretty good! This is still only about 50 percent complete. I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out!

This is the color palette I chose for this model.

New base work begins.

Reaper Miniatures Blacksting #02636 Complete!

 This was a miniature that required a lot of hours, but no wasted time. This one is flying off to a new nest... but I may have another one soon.
