Never been much of a "jolly" St Nick, etc., fan.

The darker, pagan beliefs. mythology & practices underlying the modern Christian myths have always been more interesting to me, since I found out about them as a youngster. :smiley:

Paint has gone on & some has come off, & different paint is going on.

Still fairly early days, though, & a bit difficult to show any meaning full images.

Plus, the eldest daughter & the two grandsons are over from the Eyre Peninsula, so modelling is being pushed back a little (until everyone else is in bed).

More inspiration - perfect for a larger/smaller scale forced perspective diorama.

He looks a lot like the goofy reindeer character from Frozen!

Last few days have been busy but I've spent some time painting the Dark Santa figure, finishing some bits off & fixing up others.

It's now at the stage where I need to gloss coat the parts & put them all together, which will require puttying gaps & fixing up the paint work (including gloss coating the finishing work.

Somewhere in there various bits will require washes & high-lights before the final matt coat.

Soon he'll be ready to make short work of that Krampus thing! Or a Balrog, Ork, goblin, a porch pirate stealing our Christmas presents!

Starting to get near the end, here! ;)

Just put the cloak & head onto the body for a quick check of fit, etc., &, while there seems to be a bit of misalignment for some reason (paint?), the ol' boy's looking pretty good! :smiley:

OK, a few little touch-ups & a little bit I missed but he pretty-much done.

So, here are the current, (possibly) penultimate photo's of The Dark Christmas Knight;

Don't know about "fantastic" (it is my first ever large(er)-scale figure), but he came out much better than I expected, I'll give it that! :smiley:

Won't be finished this weekend, as I'm working, & I have to find some very fine chain to finish one bit off, which I'll do on Monday.

The Dark Christmas Knight is finished, with the exception of a few blats of matt clear on some of the fix-ups.

Will do that later tonight.

Then photo's, tomorrow, when I find a suitable background - white, red, green, brown & black are unsuitable, as they've been used in the paint job, so I'll probably have to hunt down something (pale) blue.

Right! Finished! ;D


I hope he lives up to expectations (I'm quite happy, given he's my first large(ish) figure). :thumbsup:


Here are the photo's:
