nicodemus

Description	:	Here is my latest wizard; Nicodemus from Citadel Mordheim range.Nice 'n bright not to be confused with Gandalf. This work represents about 35 hours of work.All the base, books and scrolls, lectern etc was scratch built from plasticard milliput and greenstuff. The goldwork on the books and the little sand box is NMM. It was a pain painting the writing on the spines of the books in about 6 shades of yellow but once I had started I had to go on. The writing is about as small as I can paint with a brush and still be legible. The book with the dragon painted on is about 1 cm. I managed to get about 72 scales on the dragon. The quill is the feather from a warhammer pistoliers helmet and the little sandbox came with the Brettonian army boxed set. The most painstaking part of the mini was the border round the hem of the robe. The deep folds in the robe made the NMM difficult. If I have to do a similar robe again I'll stick with a plain band for decoration! ...painted by Richard Turton of AftermathMiniatures.com .

Wow! really great work on both the painting and on the custom building. The bar has been set high for March!

Excellent freehands, but the real quality in this piece is in the red highlights on the cloth. This is a fantastic piece.
