Ahoi,
I recently participated in a miniature exchange at my favorite German speaking forum: Sweetwater.
You know the drill: People send each other miniatures to be painted and receive a unique artwork in the end to add to their collection. There were no limitations in terms of period or setting, so I decided to sent out a slightly converted Dragonborn Bones miniature. I am sure it will see quite a bit of play in our DnD campaign.
I received a miniature from a period I was not familiar with at all, namely a musketeer roughly dated to the beginning of the 17th century. Yes, you think right: The three musketiers. Hagen miniatures sells a set called ‘The four musketiers‘, one of which I got in the mail.
Here is the final result:
If you want to see more pictures, read about my rational for the historically inspired colour scheme and the paints used check out my post on DaggerAndBrush: http://wp.me/p49oPQ-EO

Beautiful diorama and an excellent model

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

That third pic, gold!

Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless and perfunctory gift nobody ever asked for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down because there's nothing left to drink. Sure once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or a English toffee, but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits of hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat those all you've got left is a. An empty box, filled with useless brown paper wrappers. |

Thank you Rotary. I am not sure if it would do well in a competition, I think for that I need to work on the brocade effect, but I am in general satisfied how it came out.

We all know who the real hero of this piece is. It's that chicken!
No, but this is some fantastic work. Good job.

The pen is mightier then the sword, but you must keep a sword handy for when the pen runs out of ink.
