My first true mini - Iron Maiden Dance of Death

#1 Post by tay666 »

I did one 'mini' before, but it was a rather large Arachnarok Spider, so it didn't really count as a mini.

This one, though, is TINY!

Not exactly happy with the face, but they also didn't give me a lot to work with. So, it is what it is.
I also struggled with the feathers on the one mask.
I was happy to get the snake's eyes right though.

Lots of magnification. A very sharp pointed brush.
And a little help from a toothpick.

Yes. Set 1 has 6. Set 2 has 6. Set 3 has 2 very large ones. Since I did the preorder, I also got the bonus one of the first cover Eddie.
I have two others in progress right now. POM and Killers. POM is moving along and I am having fun with it. Killers, the base is so busy, it's really slowing me down.
