I am late to the party as always. But the tree men look fantastic. You have a really natural look going on. The guy in the right is probably my favourite treeman of all time.

I'm still alive
I've been working on the below whenever I get any spare time on the weekends over the last few weeks and finished it yesterday.
This is the cottage by Mini Monsters, its a very cool resin kit that was really easy to assemble and paint.
And for scale reference
I nearly finished another mini today so with any luck you should have something next weekend as well

Thanks for the feed back everyone I'm glad you like the cottage.
@Archer I had thought about picking up some of their other buildings and doing a small collection of buildings for skirmish games.
I have the temple as well just needs undercoating.

I managed to finish another mini
Thats two weekends in a row now, I'm quite shocked!
This is the Dragyri Fire Caste Phalanx model from the Dark Age game. I made a new shield for her out of water effects as the one that came with the mini was less than impressive and a horrible brown colour.
The Dragyri Fire Caste models are quite tall, I'll post a size comparison when I finish the next one if I remember

Cheers Archer, I've seen it done in clear resin before which looks lots better but I didnt want to try handling that so went with what I had.

They are supposed to be sorting out a new distributor in the UK so things might be ok soon.
I avoid ordering anything from the US as well, postage and then tax/handling fees etc is just madness!

It's totally off the chart. I get and search for Inq 54 stuff on eBay regularly. Can't go near any of the American sellers as the p&p is ridiculous and usually more than the worth of the fig. Annoying as hell

This looks amazing! Did you base the colour scheme from Final Fantasy 6 by any chance? :-) I'm gonna have to track down one of these building for myself.
