Hi everyone,

Last night I finished painting up the protagonist of my vignette, which I forgot to take a picture of before attaching it! It is a kneeling warrior from the Reaper Miniatures metal range.

The figure is great, and it actually was the source of inspiration of this vignette. When I saw it on Ebay I knew that I wanted it and what I was going to use it for. The rest of the planning and choices came about after.

I also added more vegetation to the front of the vignette, after permanently attaching the warrior and the ground to the scene.

Figure painted and more vegetation added to the scene.

Over the weekend I also managed to finish off the treeman. This is an old metal Durthu miniature from the GW range. I had two of these, as you can see from the photo below, one I painted up ‘as is’, and is part of my Silvan Elf Army (still a work in progress).

The other used in this project was cut up; the parts re-attached and modelled to look taller with his arm extended. The modelling of Durthu was the part of the project I enjoyed the most.
