Minifigs Valley of The Four Winds

Minifigs Valley of The Four Winds

I absolutely love taking very old minis that may be considered janky or rough and lavishing attention on them.  These Valley of The Four Winds minis by Minifigs (Available from Miniature Figurines dot co dot uk) are a great example of minis that shouldn't be discounted for their age.  They predate Warhammer!

I am not entirely finished with them, I have plans to add some clothing patterns onto the first two, and apply some glazes to the lips on the mouth mini to make it more lush.

I may also break out the putty to add something to the rider mini (left) which had a broken weapon on arrival, and looked better standing than riding.

"Shouting Head on Arms" is the stand out mini from the range, and is the best butt demon that exists.  I may grab some more and use them in conversions.

So Bosch.

A little progress

A little progress on my current batch- two of which are shown and a quick color test for my minifig high elves.  I went with the Rodney Matthews classic purple/green combo.  I think the tunnel elves will be autumnal or green/slate grey.

I also forced myself to assemble and base up a tray load of multipart Reaper minis I have had in storage forever and fix a couple of broken minis that will go well with the current batch.  Mainly for the discipline, and a feeling of progression- plus they can all be photographed for Skulldred.  I found some nice treasure models in there so I whacked those on some bases too for the items section.

I then primed them all (and my tunnel elves) with my airbrush... which sadly broke today whilst cleaning.  The nozzle thread came off.  I swear I barely cranked the living hell out of it.  Lesson learnt.

So do you like the rough color scheme for the elves?
