Pegasus Project - first update

I managed to glue bodies together. There are still many parts missing but miniatures look almost like they should;]

Now there is a time to make sure that all fabrics and other parts fits, and do the pins. Not my favourite part of the preparation I must confess.

Pegasus Project

Yesterday my second Pegaso mini arrived, so of course I had to start preparing it.
And because I didn't want my Teutonic Knight to feel lonely on the table I decided that Viking Chief will keep him company. You know, Pegaso fellas should keep together:P

I thought I could call it Pegasus Project (not very original, I know).

Here are the minis I'm working on:

Viking Chief:

(c) Pegaso Models,
sculptor: Andrea Jula,

painter: Diego Ruina

And Templar Knight from XII century:

(c) Pegaso Models,
sculptor: Andrea Jula,

painter: Danilo Cartacci

And that's what I could achieve so far...

Impressive pile of metal, isn't it?


And few more close-ups (shields mostly):

At this point I have no idea how to deal with it further. Should I glue everything I can together and paint? Or maybe paint in parts and glue it later?
Never faced such complicated minis like these.
Anyone has any ideas, or maybe painted one of them already?

I know there are few weaker spots, but I must say I'm happy how it turned out. Especially eyes and teeth.
I hope you'll  like it as well.

BMSS Nationals - London 28/04/2012

The day before yesterday I was at BMSS annual show in center of London.
British Model Soldier Society is a bunch of very friendly people with a common interest in historical miniatures, mostly soldiers.
But they were kind enough to let all the fantasy painters to take part in their competition in one of the non-military categories.
I was lucky enough to pick up two trophies: Silver for Andrea's miniature, Menhom Dark Shadow, and bronze for JMD's bust - Anton the Infected.

If you want to see more bigger pictures of the minis, here they are:

Menhom Dark Shadow

Finally!!! I can say he's finished and ready to rest in my cabinet:D

Great pleasure to paint, even if it took so long:D
I learned few more things thanks to that mini.

Definitely not the last piece from Andrea, although I know I need to be very careful with the cast quality next time.

cmon

Menhom is amlost ready:D
I need to fix the OSL and dress, add some dust, but the work is slowly coming to an end.
What do you think?:>

And here are few pics of Grinder's swords. Except metallics, all with oils  and WIP ofc:D

And a close up. I must say, I love the blending you can achieve with oils:D I definitely need to learn how to use them on higher level:D
