Lost Mine of Phandelver - Skeleton



I absolutely love these skeletons - I received a dozen - a number of them marked as bonus.  They're fantastic looking and as I've already noted in previous posts I'm really impressed with the durability of the 3d print - no issues with the weapons nor the skelly arms.

Well this was an interesting paint that I think at the end turned out pretty well but had some issues along the way - mainly in using the Vallejo Game Wash - it's just too dark.  So I pulled out the airbrush on these dozen models and hit them up with Bonewhite.  Then I hit them with the Game Wash and it went so dark - the leather bits is the end result.  So I repainted by hand the skull and bones.  Then I figured it needed some color - so I used Regal Blue on all remnants of pants and Gory Red on weapon shafts or shields.  Then I used Gunmetal on weapon blades and a Black base.

This is part of the 3D Dungeon Labs Etsy shop purchase.

Sculpt: Excellent - this is an awesome set of sculpts and the group together looks awesome

3D Print: Excellent - well done - clean

Fitness: Good - has the proper base and scale, but... while I absolutely love all the sculpts, it technically doesn't match the module - early on in the crypts there's a few human skeletons - but when going through the mine, there are dwarf and orc skeletons everywhere from the great war that occurred there centuries ago and a number of them animate because of the corrupted wild magic - if the kit contained 4 human, 4 dwarf, and 4 orc then I would rate this excellent - but as is, it's good but doesn't provide the look and feel that fits the history of the mine
