Re: Another first wave delivery thread
I already had him anyway and have painted him, he is in the WIP section of these forums. His axe was bent and I used a blow dryer to fix it. Not 100% straight but not seen a single one that is yet. Even the latest piece from Bohunn in Sorn's model gallery has a ripple on it.

Not as heavy as you might expect actually. The cork bark is extremely light and most of the polyfilla got sanded off. Might weigh one tonight just out of curiosity

It is Vallejo Model Colour Ivory 50/50 mix with water and about 5 or 6 coats to achieve solid coverage. It is not shaded or highlighted yet.
The blue is VMC Pale Grey Blue done the same and also not shaded or highlighted yet.
