This beautiful model of Meriadoc Brandybuck (or Merry to his friends) was painted up by a friend of mine, Kyle Morgan. He gave it to me last year as a "thank you" for picking up some Games Day tickets for him before the show (apparently it wasn't possible to purchase them online from Australia).
I first met Kyle at Games Day Chicago 2009, where his Large Model beat mine for Gold, as did his Diorama, even after I loaned him some glue and paints to repair his models after a long flight from Sydney. I first mentioned Kyle on my blog back in this post here.
When Kyle gave me this piece I was stunned, so much time had obviously gone into the model and basing, and no one had ever given me such a cool "thank you" gift before. At the time I was rushing off for a week in North Carolina, and then when I got back I was never sure how to best work it in to a post.
So, why do mention it now? Only because I now own a miniature painted by a bona fide Golden Demon Slayer Sword winner. Congratulations to Kyle for winning the Sword at the Golden Demons in Australia this past Saturday.
I am yet to find a pic of his Sword-winning entry, but here's a link to his "close to finished" WIPs for his Bronze and Silver winning entries. I'll update this post as soon as he posts pics of the winner.
Oh, and I picked up some "liquid green stuff" the other day. Should be interesting to muck around with.
Cheers

Would love to hear a detailed review of the LGS!
ReplyDeleteDitto! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm also interested in an LGS review. I have zero GS capabilities so this may help with minor gaps.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note Dave, how do you find the time for family, friends, work, and modeling? I have all bit disappeared from the hobby.
Dave, I'm curious to see your thoughts on liquid green stuff. Inquiring minds want to know!
ReplyDeleteHi guys
ReplyDeleteThanks for your enquiries regarding the LGS. Unfortunately I haven't had a good chance to try it out yet, but when I do, i'll let you all know ; )
@Shanus - Mmmmm, could be a good topic for a blog post.
Cheers
Dave

What did you think of the liquid greenstuff? I have tried using gel medium for the same application with some success.
