The hermit and the giant

 Two models recently finished.  The Hermit is from Hayland Terrain.  The giant is from Mammoth Miniatures.  All I added was a loin cloth to cover its modesty.  

 

Hope you like. 

  

Woodland shrine

 As the totems are done, it seemed like a good idea to put them somewhere.  Added a small hill, tree stump and fire pit.  

 Some of the details.

Making some totems

 I have placed an order with Mammoth Miniatures for some of the Banhus Twiggy Horrors.  I plan to use them as totems.  I am thinking about doing a woodland shrine so I figured that I would see what I can to to flesh them out some more.  I elected to try to sculpt some of my own as a supplement to the pack.  As I can't sculpt well, I used skulls out of my bits-box to top them.  

Here is what I came up with.  

 I also used some masks from the Northstar Tribals kit to make some panels and then one of the GSW textured rollers for the carved runes.  

 

A dovecote Because I needed one.

 I needed a dovecote for a customer scenario that I am working on for Frostgrave.  Simple box construction out of Foamex.  Nests are made using a tutorial from Abaroths World.  Painted in my craptastic style.  

 These will be used along with my swarms of pidgins.

Hope you like. 
 

 

It's a dragon

 Yet another Etsy find.  The dragon from Willow.  From Twisted Pinnacle 3d.  It came in seven pieces.  The body was printed in filament and the legs, necks, and heads were in resin.  

Here are the painted photos.  

The holy handgernade.

 And Saint Attila raised the Hand Grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy Hand Grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy." And the Lord did grin.........

Just a quick vignette with some of the Hayland "not" Monty Python Miniatures.  Had to scratch build the cart as I could not find a near fit anywhere.  Painted in my craptastic style. 

 

 

 

 

Guards of Traitors Toll

 Finished up the box set for guards of traitors toll.  I figured that it would be helpful for folks to see what you can do with the kit and the variety of pieces that are available to make individual characters.  I did add some parts from other kits and I will identify them as they come up.  I am posting the models by pose so you can see the variation in parts.

From L to R.  Guard with a sword, guard with a mace, lady with a fish (either offering or getting ready to slap someone with), lady with a bottle, lady with a huge hand (the only oversized hand on the sprue) and lady with a owl.  There are no parts from other kits in this batch.  

From L to R.  Guard with a sword and shield, guard with a sword, lady with a ladle, lady with a harp and a cat, lady with a gemstone, and a lady with a milk pail and a sack.  The harp and the cat are the only parts from other kits in this batch.

From L to R.  Guard with a hailberd, guard with a sword and lantern, man with a book, man with a pigeon and a coin, man with a pipe and cane and a man with a money bag. 

Guard with a mace and chain, guard with a hailberd and keys, ruffian with a knife, man with a sickle, ruffian with a bit of wood with a nail in it, beggar with a staff and a coin.  The only part that was added was the coin in the beggars hand.  Punched that out of a bit of card. 

Guard with a crossbow, guard with a bow, man with a sickle, man with a pick ax, man with an ax, man with a staff carrying a sack.  The only part added on these was a bit of cotton for the bow string. 

Captain with a great sword, captain with a sword, woman with a fan, upset woman with a dagger, woman with a flute and a woman with a wand, mask and burning skull.  There were no parts from other kits on this one but I did green stuff the flames on the skull. 

The old Crone from Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Hayland Miniatures), two geese from the soldiers sprue.

Extra heads and arms that were not used. 

All and all I do not have many complaints about this kit.  It has a huge amount of bits to work with and enough parts to make every model an individual.
