CMON Contest 25 Miniature, Masters-level, NMM, Vote on CMON.
Painted by: Yaroslav Bozhdynsky

THAT IS brillant!!!

how long did it take too make and paint that!!

very nicely done.

Awesome theme, beautiful paintjob, and the base just ties it all together into a package of pure win.

Now that is impressive NMM - not that any particular piece is incredibly intricate so much as that every metal surface looks and feels like a completely different metal, from the worn steel of the gear base to the aged brass to the polished blunderbuss barrel and its sooty interior. This, I consider mastery - the ability not just to apply the technique to any surface, but to pick what any given surface should be, then make it look like that. I don't even have to look at the rest of the model to be suitably impressed.
