I can't paint, and neither can't you. Yeti (Part 2)

So here is the final product. His face lost some details because I had a bit of a mishap, used the wrong dip material, couldn't get it all off, had to repaint it again and the mouth got filled in. :(


Still I think it looks way better than what it start out as.


I'll have to think about if I want to do the other miniature in the same style or go for a more sasquatch feel, with browns and grasses on the base.

I can't paint, and neither can't you. Yeti (Part 1)

So it's been a while since I did an update.

I decide to get a yeti together.

I purchased a Sasquatch Heroclix figure from the Invincible Iron Man set. Now it comes in white or orangish. The white ones go for around $10, while the orangish ones go for around a $1, so I got an orange one.


As you can see compared to a medium sized nova squad leader, the Sasquatch miniature is definitely sized for large.

I had gotten some cheap plastic coins that were suppose to be 2" (as you can see, it is a little bigger as compared to a Dwarven Forge 2"x2" tile) and am using it as a base for my yeti.

Using a 2-part epoxy, I spread it on the base and put the miniature on it (I removed the clix base from the miniature first, but kept the "lima bean" base and just covered it with epoxy).

After letting the epoxy harden, I then put a coat of white paint on the miniature. I left the hands and feet unpainted at this time as I intend to use another color on them once the white dries (probably a grey).
