My dads gift

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

My dads gift

Post by Gunfreak » Thu Aug 20, 2015 9:57 pm

So finished my dads gift. For his 70th. Got help from my father in law, like all father i laws he "knows a guy"
That made the glass. While he himself made the wood base.

I of course painted and did the terrain .

It represents my dad as a viking Lord 1200 years ago.

He is the white haired guy with gold plated mail.

That is a nice idea!

Well done!


It reminds me of my Dad's 70th birthday when I presented to him 4 Saxon Napoleonic Infantry Battalions. :D

Cheers,

Nice idea, I'm doing something in a similar vein. A painting of Brian Boru and his Father Confessor before the battle of Clontarff.
(The historical evidence that God comes from Lancashire is slim, however he's definitely not from Yorkshire)
