40mm Hasslefree Artemis

Following on from last night's post I've finished blocking in the base layers and begun to add more definition to the leather, bronze plate and horse hair so I can begin highlighting.

Looking through my drawer of decal sheets this morning I found a very cool 'chained stallion head' crest on a Games Workshop Imperial Knight sheet which I think will be perfect for Artemis shield :).

Something completely different...

After painting all that metal and facial hair, I thought I'd do something totally different. Inspired somewhat by the acquisition of some Arena Rex Kickstarter goodies I turned to the hobby cupboard of doom and dug out a mini I've owned since around 2007 I think. She's a gorgeous 40mm sculpt from Hasslefree Miniatures and there's very, very little armour in sight...

I'm still blocking in the base layers at the moment though her skin has had an initial shade and resetting layer applied. Being used to working in 28mm scale, it's a little bit of a challenge to work such a large area of skin but it's nice to flex the painting muscles every once in a while...
