^I expect it'd work fine. The Black Seal seem to be a pretty colorful and mismatched lot, so I'd think the more diverse the merrier.

Great- thank you both for the inspiration.

Unfortunately not much in the way of young maidens (lots of overly equipped barbarian women though) but I did come across this Ral Partha figure that seems fitting enough.

I’m likely to replace her (staff?) will be sitting down to watch a the episodes referenced for a clearer idea of my plan in the next few weeks but it’s settled, I’m going with a young maiden-
Sounds like a great fit! I'll update your entry.

Well I'm half way though painting my fella now. Just in time ro remember the spot colours... whoops. Well I expect I can put a smidge of them in somewhere. I mean there is a bit of purple on the trout... and I can add a bit of yellow I think. Still ahead of schedule for me, which is good. I shall now of course rest on my laurels until the deadline looms and I can finish in a panic... !

To be honest he's been a nice distraction from the models I'm "supposed" to be painting...

^I understand the looming deadline panic all too well! :grin: Rest. There will be time.

"There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands
That lift and drop a question on your plate;
Time for you and time for me,

And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of a toast and tea."

The poem set the right mood and I've finished up Friar Bellows, our favourite naughty frog of the cloth (or trout in this case)

He's only lightly pinned to his base so easy enough to remove if the winner decides to. Quite a fun model (Beldolor Studios) to paint. He's 3D printed resin and I've been wanting to print and paint him for a while, so this seemed a good excuse. The other contender for the role would of course have been the Friar Tuck the Toad model from Dark Sword, which I do love, but no one seemed to have him in stock (in UK) when I looked a couple of weeks back. I'm still wondering if I'll leave the frog's eyes plain gloss black or if I'll do some detail on them ... depends how time pans out before he starts his swim across the Atlantic pond. There is some purple on the trout cloak and his top is kinda purply grey. I'm claiming the golds as yellows spot colour wise! :)

Oh, fantastic! There's an old adage about dead fish and house guests going off after a similar period of time. In this case he could be both! (And probably well and truly off before he ever even arrives.) Well done!

Gah, must post mine off. I keep forgetting! Typical me, for once I finish him early then wait six months to post it! :)

i realise i've set the end date of my poll too far in the future. i'll still honour it, even though interest died within the first fortnight.

Actually finished him just now - waiting for paint to dry and I'll take a pic / varnish him.
Is it a square base I need to send with him please, I can't remember....?

Also, is there anyone from the UK who needs to still send their model off? I could bunch it in with mine and save shipping?

Cheers!
I've just brought some new frogmen sculpt which will fit in. If he arrives in the next week or so I'll add one of them too

And I just reread the rules - black square bases :)
