This is an old Hobby Products/Metal Magic miniatures from the late 80s. I think this sculpt of a swamp monster holds up pretty well, even today. I painted this one pretty quickly. It employs a lot of washes and glazes. I even used some of the Tamiya transparent paints for glazing in between to get a bit of a translucent wet texture.
I really enjoyed the kind of scenic bases people are doing more and more to support their miniatures. I was never much into this and went for very plain bases most of the time. I thought that it was time to get away from this an to experiment with scenic bases. In the following, I will share my thoughts about the process of composing this base.
This miniature was sitting in my "work-in-progress-cabinet" for a looong time. So while painting the Freebooter goblin, I also finished this one. The skin was done a few years ago, and I did a relatively quick job on the rest of the mini as a little side project.
