Trouble in the Snow

These are very old. From '86 or so. I was just beginning miniatures painting, and it shows. The only paints available were enamels and I knew almost nothing about advanced techniques like drybrushing.

The pictures are presented in no particular order. There are some duplicates, or rather several pictures of the exact same setup.

I took these in a pile of snow (cold white stuff, falls from sky) just outside our garage. The snow helped hide the bases, which was ideal for my purposes.

These pictures are really, really old. The date here is just a dummy value, these are realy from the mid-80's. Back when I was just starting painting miniatures, enamels were the only paints readily available, and I thought all weapons needed copious amounts of blood to look good.

Snow is convenient, because it hides the bases.

Another shot. The dwarf is a Denizen multi-part dwarf, the giant hails from Grenadier.

The winged thing is an official(tm) Cthulhu monster, but I forget which one.

Mountaintop action
It's easier to move the camera than the figures.
