Completed Critique "Erik The Red" - Scale 75 Miniature

[Guy]

I was able to finish Erik a day early than what I anticipated and just finished shooting some so so photographs of him. The figure originally had tan and blue checked trousers but after looking at it for hours I decided to change them to all blue. The checkered pants just didn't fit Erik The Red.

This was an excellent kit with minimal clean-up needed and along with a Custom Foundation base from my friend Steve Scott, of Tulsa made for a great combination. The base was painted in the rocky area and the end highlight was pure white gently dry-brushed on the edges of the rocks.

Comments welcomed.

Sorry for the poor quality of photos......it was just too hot with the photo lamps on so I took them quickly.

Thanks Jay. The base really did add to the figure.

 

[Steve]

Berserker this dude has to be! I would wear out just carrying those blades. Very good, Guy. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Guy]

Thanks Steve. And also, thanks for the beautiful base.

 

[Kreston]

Nice work, Guy. That base is a perfect fit for the figure.

He looks awesome! I was really looking forward to the checked pants but I understand why you changed them. So now I need to know how you got that awesome base from Steve before I did! I am loving the combo of the figure on that incredible base. just goes to show you that an artist making bases for artists is a great combo. Again, well done sir.

 

[Guy]

Thanks Mike. I am surprised I got that base before you did too.....lol. Just wait until you see the next one.

Thanks Kreston for the comment. Much appreciated.

Very nicely done, this figure has an awsome dynamic pose and you have captured it with a just as nice base. Well done.

Guy a lovely figure and your painting just finishes it off perfectly. Have to say that anyone brave enough to tell Erik the Red, he needs new trousers has to be a good painter.
These Scale 75 figures look very good.

[Guy]

Thanks Don. Historically, Erik just did not look right in checkered pants......lol.

He looks great Guy, I think you made the right choice with the pants. Those scale75 figures look quite nice.

[Guy]

Thanks Andrew. I just didn't feel checkered pants would be available in the time of Erik The Red.

Very nice. These Scale 75 figures look great.

 

[Babelfish]

He looks wild. You wouldn't even think of making a pass at his Mrs would you?!

Lovely work Guy, and that base sets the figure off a treat.

I had a close look at a couple of Scale 75 figures in their boxes for the first time yesterday at Figureworld, and was very impressed by the overall quality. The fit and the casting are top-notch.

Nice work Guy,
The whole piece comes together with that base.
Well done.
