Hello everyone! Another edition of On the WorkBench!
This time we will be talking about "Sumothay, Prior Warrior" a 54mm scale miniature by Raúl Garcia Latorre. The owner of the company Enigma Miniatures from Spain.
I bought this mini second hand along with Horthak from Rafael García Marín, also known as Volomir(check out his blog at the left!) This will be my first time painting a 54 mm miniature.
The mini came with a few casting failures, mould lines and flash. But nothing major, although with his banner there were two of the left flag, but I won't be using it in clear view so that doesn't really matter.
As you can see above I used the banners on the ground along with some rubble sculpted with Milliput excess I had left from prepping other minis and bases and normal garden soil.
I've started slapping on some basecolours on him. It's quite a hard mini to really determine a colourscheme on, due to all those different clothes and armour he wears being a wandering warrior like Aragorn from the Lord of the Rings.
I think it will be a fun challenge! I'll probably be using a lot of different tones of brown and green and a couple of yellows.
These last two photos show a bit the idea I have behind this figure and base, like he's standing at the edge of the remains of a battlefield, gazing into the distance.
