From the Vaulted Realm of Pluto
Not giving any civil discourse
So the Sythyrs from Shadowforge I got through Eureka Miniatures are all done. These ladies are a departure from the previous fauns and I like them much better for the scale of detail. I also like the fact that these are metal instead of plastic. The only issue I had was the fact that all the figures have tails like Scandinavian trolls. All of them needed to be attached and using epoxy resin instead of superglue has yielded sufficient resilience to some dropping. It also helps to bend the tails so that they don’t point into deep space away from the models. This is also an issue when dealing with trying to either rank up of put them on the unit base as shown.
Beyond all that I found it difficult to try and find ways of keeping the green accent color included and tried to draw the eye with the jewels. I think it might work but only on the 3″scale versus the one of 3′. Lenticulur highlights are a pain in the ass. I might skip this kind of thing in future but as a challenge I might keep at it. This remind me of the movie Hook and a dialogue between Cpt. Hook and Mr. See on “Don’t let me do it”…. “Pundancer, don’t let me do this”.
