The Great Wargaming Survey 2015

The Great Wargaming Survey is here again. Building on last year’s very successful snapshot, we’ve changed some questions, tightened up some others, and generally have tried to make it both worthwhile and comparable to last year.

To take part go here

Sandor Clegane

I wanted to have a Sandor Clegane figure for my ongoing Game of Thrones project in 28mm.

As Inspiration I used this picture taken from one of the GoT films:

sandorfilmneu

I used Parts from the Perry war of the roses plastic sets and an old Warhammer Knights plastic Helmet from which I cut the plum of. I scared the face on the right side to resemble the burn marks Sandor has.

I came up with this:

Sandorfoot3 Sandorfoot2 Sandorfoot1

I did a riding version too:

sandorhorse1sandorboth

With a little paint and the addition of a flag the figures look like this:

A close up of the scar:

And the riding version:

The heraldry is pure freehand I hope you like my Sandor Clegane figure . If so feel free to leave a coment or a like!

Use a light box to take better pictures of your miniatures

lightbox

Close-up photography of small objects like our miniatures requires good lighting. However, lighting a piece properly to show the true color, details and beauty of a miniature can be difficult. A light box is a good solution. It provides light diffusion and a uniform background against which to place the object.

You can see how to make your own light box on this video
