Crazyredcoat's Crazy Compendium of Collected Creativity

It seems fitting to me that the next model I work on is Greatjon Umber who is a character I have always enjoyed. The quote in the title alone is a good enough reason for me, but also being almost 6’6″ myself he is something of a fun chap that I’d enjoy getting drunk under the table with.

This time round, I have made sure that I have caught as many mould lines as can be found and while the plastic used in these minis is not the same as a GW mini, I find that the tools work well enough, though make sure, like the Boltons, that your blades are sharp! There was also a happy accident that will make painting just that little bit easier, too!

Obviously, this chap will be very similar to the other Umbers I’ve done, but there are a few details that I have decided to make stand out. First off, the bear pelt over the shoulders is going to be either a black or brown bear just to make my Mors Umber look a bit special, still, and the hair colour will have a bit more work to it than the basic berserkers, just to help him look more ‘special’. I pulled a reference picture from the Wiki of Ice and Fire page for the Greatjon just to have some inspiration for the hair, but we will see what I come up with in the end. I could even try basing it off our own Gerry’s hair colour…who knows?

As the vast majority of this mini will be repeats of previous ‘tutorials’, I probs won’t bother too much with going through every step, but once he’s finished we can move on to something else other than Umbers! Perhaps some Starks, or maybe a Lannister or Clegane…how mysterious of me…NOT!
