Buildings and Henchmen

It has been a few weeks since my last post.  I was doing pretty good there for a bit.  However, in my defense I have been spending most of my free time making buildings for BMG.  Thanks to the help from my soon-to-be-wife (she did lots of the grey stone basecoats), the finish line is in site.

We will be running a beginners tournament at Lords of War Games and Hobbies on Saturday may 14  (See LoWGH event page for details).  So for the last 3 weeks I have been working on some terrain for the event.  Some of the finished buildings I have posted online already.  The goal was 9 buildings of various sizes (3 per table).  I will be putting the finial weathering paint on the last 3 buildings later tonight!  HUZZAH!

So while I wait for the paint to dry, here is the latest henchman.  I finished this model a few weeks ago but did not get around to posting about it.  I had to do some extra putty work on this guys.  I don't know if anyone else has had this same problem (let me know if you have!), but this models head was really misshapen.

It looked OK from the front, but comically thin from the side.  I built up the head (lucky he was wearing a mask) with some green stuff.  I extended the mask to the bottom of the skull to make the sculpting a little easier.  Hopefully he wont stand out on the the battlefield now.  He has also become one of my favorite guys to use in my crew!    

 Hope to see some of you on the 14th!
