Spike Qaano, Srónax Thulnfrom Mierce Miniatures |
   |
This was in the second batch of Mierce minis that I snagged on a sale. It is a were-rhino, with a giant club. What isn't amazing about this?!
Like all Mierce minis, there is a lot of detail on this model, which was a ton of fun to paint.
Really impressed with the quality and detail.
The material is a hard'ish resin. Not as hard as some, this was relatively easy to work with.
Assembly:
Pretty simple, as all the parts are rather large.Pinning the limbs was relatively simple, and the parts all fit together pretty well, but I did fill in a couple small gaps with some Milliput.
Mould lines weren't bad and easy to remove.
Paint:
Primed with Badger Stynlrez primer, brushed on.Miniature painted purley in oils. Mostly Winsor & Newton Winton line. The armor was done with Gamblin metallic oil paint.
Took about 3 - 4 hours to paint the oils. The bright green eye motif was fun to do. I first did it in black/white, then painted over the green, and I think it looks much better.
Sealed with some matt varnish from Reaper Miniatures.
Base:
Custom made from cork.The top of the cork was covered a combination of Liquitex gloss medium, baking soda, and white paint for the snow.
