Hi guys. I just posted this to CMON, my first. Also my first mini posted here. I've had a lot of anxiety over posting images online. Oh well. The CMON posting isn't viewable as of the time of this posting by a normal search (status: waiting). It's the first NMM mini I've painted I'm not completely embarrassed about. Comments appreciated.

Wow... you should really post more...
Seriously though you must have spent ages drybrushing

**Bizmo**

The sword is pretty pro. The model is glossy in some areas; I'm wondering if you used a bit too much slow-dri? Nice mini.

Thanks for comments

No drybrushing on this guy.

@Bizmo: Yeah, the gloss...I hit it with Krylon Matte spray and it's still glossy. I'm thinking Testors Dullcote will help, no?

**filbert**

Lovely stuff - would like to see some more though. Maybe some close-up shots too?

Need a better camera. But agreed, the picture could be better. I'll work on that.

Some better pictures. Actually makes the mini look worse :-\

No way Geno, close-ups look really nice, the sword is a focal point to this mini and as a first time out on the NMM it's really effective.

The blue-red-gold color scheme works nicely on this.

Don't feel anxious about posting pics, we want to see more.

Looks pretty good, Don't know why you have such a low score on CMON though... I know most of my stuff doesn't look as nice.

Wow thanks guys! That encouragement hit the spot.

I was originally planning on just doing just one mini in this way, for grins, but now I'm tempted to do the whole unit like this. Maybe even try to sell it on ebay. It definitely seems like the time it will take to paint all of them will net me about a dollar an hour when all is said and done.

Nice work. NMM is incredibly tough to do well and your highlights look great!
