Reaper's Skeleton 2 Handed - 2129

I met with bunch of mini-painters from around the northern and central Virginia at Huzzah Hobbies in Ashburn, VA (a quick thanks and shout out to the owner and team at Huzzah Hobbies - its a great wargaming hobby shop and they provided a good size area for us to get together and paint). I brought along a handful of finished miniatures from the past year as well as a couple of projects I'm working on including a special limited cast Reaper I'm painting for a friend. Besides that, I brought a couple of Reaper skeletons based and black coated ready to go. I figured that a skeleton was something easy to paint so that I could talk and interact with everyone. I did get a good percentage of the skeleton completed there and finished him up at home.

Phil Comes to Visit

Hello everyone! Phil is here to visit! Here's a picture of PHIL...

What an ugly dude, but wow is he HOT!

Updated: 01/21/2012: Let me explain this post a bit - Phil, from the DC area mini painter group, and I had talked about getting together as we've both been on/off painters during the past decade based upon kids, work, school, etc. On this particular Saturday Phil braved leaving DC for surburbia and met up at my place. We talked about digital macro photography, using Gimp to cut the image and place the background, and then posting to blogger for sharing.
