Reaper's Man at Arms - 6023

An example model for the painting class for kids. This was painted using Reaper paints and brushes and following the instructions in the learn to paint kit #1.

Finished February 2004.

Reaper's Orcs - 6061

The following 2 models are from a 4 pack of orcs with spears produced by Reaper. Both had their spears in an upright position and their free hand by the knee. I did some bending and twisting to give it a bit of a dynamic look as long as one doesn't look too close.

The second model's spear makes it difficult to scan a right side - so no luck.

Finished February 2004.
