Bugrit, millennium hand an' shrimp

The fifth Discworld miniature is finished.  This one took me a little longer.  I did some highlighting on the cloak and then gave it a wash.  The wash ended up staining the model and giving it a really sloppy appearance.  So I highlighted the cloak back up and I am much happier with it.

Foul ole Ron is a member of the Canting Crew (Arnold Sideways is also a member, which I painted a few weeks ago).  He is known by his ranting catch phrase "Bugrit, millennium hand an' shrimp."  According to wikipedia, Pratchett came up with this phrase by putting a Chinese menu and the lyrics to They Might Be Giants "Partial Man" song into a random text generating program.



Also on the base is Gaspode, the world's first Thinking Brain Dog (instead of a seeing eye dog).  Gaspode is a small dog that has gained the ability to talk by spending so much time around the Unseen University (Random magic changes the locals) .





First game with miniatures! 
Full review of "Guards Guards" to follow soon!
