Not so quick win
19/09/2017
This item has been on my table for over two months and I have been dragging my feet about finishing it.
GW’s Ophidian Archway.
A solid piece of scenery that in should be a nice piece to paint – simple thin linear structure, with an upper storey and a large archway.
BUT, it suffers from a huge exuberance of detail that is just OTT.
The detail of a dragon/wyrm coiling round the piece is great and on its own wouldn’t be too bad. But it is the back ground detail that merges with it that makes it way more fussy then most people will want to have on a piece of scenery.
Having broken that painting block, I cracked this out in just 2 days.
Again LOTR scenery, plain and simple and ideal for Saturday’s jaunt.
