Another distraction

[dazza36]

So been struggling for motivation to get on with any of my big projects (Skaven, Squats, Eldar, Orc n Goblins or dwarfs). The Free mini Friday challenged was a fun little project and I really liked using cork for the base and really wanted to do something with it again. When I was looking for a mini to send for the Free Mini Friday I came across a very old project I started years ago. Basically it was another conversion of the Gimli on pony I used for my bridge diorama. I found the pony but couldn't find the rider I had started to convert but luckily had another spare. So decided this would be ideal for a nice cork base and here we are !

So for those who haven't seen my first mock up from my question regarding snow here you go.

Started painting the base this evening.

Vision is a snowy rock face with stoic dwarf on pony. The next step will be to convert Gimli. Also ordered some snow so hopefully it looks good and I can get that added to the base.

Echoes of a Bonner artwork come to mind...can't wait🤩

So a quick mock up before work. Started work on the rider but have realised I'm missing one half of my Tamiya Putty so had to order some more!

My new Green Stuff World Snow Textures turned up and got straight on to adding it to the base. Works really well and ends up looking like a slightly sludgy old snow look.

I think for the price under £4 it works really well and I'm guessing you could add the snow powder on top when wet to create a more just snowed look.
