Well, here goes. A 1/8th scale but of an Org or troll.



Another shot with hand in pix to help with scale.



Well, I think it works. Rather easy actually.

Oooooops! Fire the proofreader

Ah . . . hmmmmm. . . I believe that was supposed to say "Bust" in the post
above and not but. The "s" got left off. So much for a newpaper background.
Groan. . .

Hi Rick

Good to see you got the pics up on here. and I have to say its good to see one of the Roy Hunt Miniatures pieces again...... well done

Dave

Excellent paintwork on some great bust from Roy.

Marc

Thank you for responding, gentlemen. . .

hello Dave and Marc:

It was kind of you to respond to this newbee member. Yes, I really thought
that Roy Hunt was so talented — an amazing sculptor with a super
imagination. I was just so shocked and saddened to learn of his untimely
death. Wow, it sure points up that we need to enjoy each day we're given.

thanks again,

rick

Hello Rick,

your little "monster" are very.

What's my Boss doing here?

Thanks for taking a look see, gentlemen. . .

Hey there, Pedro near Lisbon. Wow, would love to visit your country! Thanks
for taking time to comments Pedro, on my little monster with the orange
hair. He won a first place award in the Fantasy category at the IPMS/USA
Nationals in Los Angeles, 07.

And to Jay in Ohio, thank you as well. Are you a Buckeye fan? I'm definitely
into college sports. Wow, your Boss? He must have bad hair days (daze?) as
well. Whoa, Nellie. . .

Ohhhh, He will be mad!!

Great paint job, Rick!! But, I worry that Spanky will be upset you used him as a painting guide!!

Hi Dave. . . ha ha ha haaaa



Aw Dave, good to hear from you, fella. But I don't think ahma' gonna tell
Spanky what you said, podna. Very funny though.

Gave me a big laugh this morning, . . . and got the endorphines coursing
through ma' bod - deeeeeee. Big time.

Take care, Dave,

rick

Hopefully I'll see you again at the IPMS Nats when they come to Omaha. I'll
only be 74. Hopefully, I will still have a driver's license.
I've been told that growing old ain't fer sissies. Whoa, I agree. . .

Hi Rick,

Excellent painting. The green skin is very effective.

Thank you, Tony

Hi Tony:

Thanks for taking time to look and then respond. I admire your work here
on the PF forums a great deal. So your positive comments are indeed
appreciated.

As a retire artist, I find the fantasy genré gives the painter cate blanche as
to what colors to pick. And I really let my imagination run free on this lovely
piece of sculpture from the late Roy Hunt. Later I hope to post images of
a War of the Zodiac bust from Yedhero (sp?) miniatures. Fausto is a very
talented sculptor. So much creative talent in the Iberian Peninsula, not only
historically, but in the present as well.

I still enjoy doing historical subject matter, in fact, I started building models
years ago doing Supermarine Spitfires, still my favorite aircraft.

Thanks again, for responding,

rick

Great fun piece Rick, nice choice of colours.

Cheers David

Rick so glad to see you on here mate and really good to see the Ork again, if i can see let alone paint that well when im in my 70`s i will be a happy chappy.

Hopefully everyone on here will get to know you like i have over the last couple of years, Ricks a true Gent.

catch you later old heimer,

Steve

Thank you gentlemen three. . .

To Pedro: Oh my wouldn't that be great to visit such a beautiful place as
your home country right on the Atlantic Ocean. I'm landbound in Heartland
America, and it is lovely too. But we do not have the Ocean or the shore. It
would be great to travel there. But as you know, so much about life is about
money, plus I'm rather old to be traveling those kinds of distances. Good
of you to write, once again, Pedro. And thanks for the kind words.

To David: Thank you, for taking the time for a look see. And you're right.
Once I decided to paint the skin tones light lime green with hints of melon
red and yellow, it became a great deal of fun to paint. Thanks again.

To Steve-vo: Hey there mate, it was so good of you to chime in here. I hope
to post some of the other pieces as time permits in the future. Perhaps that
old free standing Verlinden 120mm figure of the WWII US Navy pilot in the
South Pacific. I am nearing the finish line on that figure. Still fighting the
facial tone, however. But at least I got the Wehrmacht Cossack and this
pilot figure all completed without using the oils over the acrylics. Thanks
again, mate.

Rick
