While moving boxes around the game room I located this Greasus Goldtooth model that I had been working on just prior to moving to Japan last year. Moving does that yar!
I finished it up this evening. It had really been quite close when the move hit so it wasn't that bad to knock out.
The worst part of this model is that it is metal. The thing is so heavy that it was a challenge to handle it while painting and required a few intermediate coats of sealer during the course of the project. I've been using Army Painter flat which goes on thin and seems to be fairly durable with minimal impact on color and texture. The gems are spot varnished afterwards with Vallejo gloss.
I built the thing with the goblins in the reverse of their usual position. I had thought of them as throwing the gold at a crowd in the fashion of monarchs impressing the little people.... on after I'd gone quite a ways down that road did I realize they were intended to be creating a gold carpet for Greasus to be paraded on! oops.....
