Jabberwock from the Bones Collection

I got to paint  my friend Steve’s Jabberwock from Reaper’s Bones Collection.  They had done a Kickstarter and Steve got in it, and I get to have fun with some of his minis!!!  Yay.

It had a weird raised foot,probably because the original artwork in the Bestiary 2 shows it posed on some ruins with it’s foot raised.  Rather then heat it to lower the foot or leave him hanging precariously in the air, I decided to fashion a larger base with a boulder for him to rest his foot on.  The base he’s provided with isn’t “huge” size (3×3 inches) anyways, so enlarging the base worked out technical-wise also.

The base is Sculpy that I formed around the original base in such a way that the figure could slide out for the baking step.  I glued him down with E6000, my favorite glue.  I added ballast to give the “ground” texture and ease the transition between new base and old, then painted it all.  I also painted the Hellknight in this photo for Steve.  The pictures could be better, I’m working on my camera skills ^^;;  Don’t you like the outdoor posed shot?

Overall I’m pleased with how this turned out and I loved working with the plastic minis as much as I do the metal.
