[R] Discworld Miniatures - some photos

[Rgemini]

I've just posted pictures of my latest miniatures over on Facebook at
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=164474&id=596717564&l=c6f6b77c58 .

There are three little dioramas:

* "Old acquaintance" shows Cohen the Barbarian facing Death with
Death of Rats
* "Oh HONESTLY, Grandfather" shows Susan Death watching Death play
Buddy's Guitar from Soul Music
* "Smile, PLEASE, Lady Esmerelda!" shows Otto Chriek with
icoconograph taking a picture of Casanunda (and his stepladder) and Esme
Weatherwax in her Lady Esmerelda dress from Maskerade

There are also pictures of the Librarian, Ridcully and Twoflower that I
haven't yet made into set pieces, some pictures of my work table and
some of the Watch and the Canting Crew that haven't yet been painted.
This time I've also included some pictures showing my fingers and a
paintbrush, to give some idea of scale.

I think my skills have definitely improved since my last set of
miniatures, but I still have a long way to go before I can really be
happy with how they are turning out.

The real stars of these pictures have to be the modellers at Micro Art
in Poland, who have produced such wonderful pieces, and of course Paul
Kidby who produced the original illustrations and (I think) worked with
Micro Art to ensure they are accurate. Not to forget Sir Pterry without
whom none of this would even begin to exist!

PS I'm not sure I've put the right AFPtag on this - apologies if not!

Astounding work Sir!
Those Micro Art crowd certainly seem to be churning out the characters,
I wonder how they get a big enough market to support all the effort!
Bravo.
Tag - well done for even attempting one. Relevant for fan - I would say so.

I looked into them myself... looked very nice... however, they're far too
small for my eyes to work on them... 30mm is a bit too tiny... 57mm the old
traditional scale would have been fine...

Ah, that's where the magnifying visor, jeweller's loupe and magnifying
glass lamp come in! Once you get your eye in it's not too bad.
