Ok so this is a work in progress. Looking for some advice as I modify him or move forward with other minis.

Things I am still needing to finish.
- Glue mini to base
- Use some polyethylene to add snow to the base
- Mess with my polymer on the base to make it more ice like
- Maybe add some more white highlights to the hammer in the corners to make it pop a little more.


Things I wanted to do with this mini.
- Have a cool color scheme
- not use metalic paints at all (I don't like them)
- not use washes (I much prefer working with inks)
- go for a very dark grey (its 5 parts the darkest grey I could find with 4 parts black, though it comes out lighter after layers of dry brushing other highlights in)
- try a few different techniques out

Things I tried on a previous test mini
- tried adding in an orange for lettering (didn't like it)
- tried wet blending the entire thing (worked but I lost patience lol)
- I am not that great at NMM =/

I don't have much experience with painting. I have probably completed a total of 20 minis (mostly a color or two with dry brushing because I am lazy) over the past 10+ years. I did this test mini a little bit each night after work while watching TV. Advice would be appreciate, or ideas to go further.

But I like the colour scheme, the blue looks very nice ... and how did you do the eyes? They look amazing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6011698.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6011698.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6011784.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6011784.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6011810.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6011810.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6013214.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6013214.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6013284.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6013284.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6013371.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6013371.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6013382.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6013382.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6013401.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549716/6013401.page GMT
