Hey Rick, not my normal cup of tea but your “bug” looks great. Is this a gaming figure?

Thanks Dan. It's one of the Fantasy Range figures from Ral Partha. I don't think it represents any particular Game, but I'm not sure.

Thanks mmaker. No Citadel used on this one, entirely done with Vallejo acrylics. The shading was accomplished with a layered dry brushing technique.

I'm not crazy about bugs Rick and doubt I would ever want to paint a model of one but yours looks good. Excellent shading technique. What size is it?

Great finishing, Rick. Is he going to be an S-43 crew member?

Thanks Dave & Aurora, Appreciate the comments. The figure is about 2" tall but I have no idea what scale. Don't think he'd fit in the S-43 Smile [:)]

. Maybe a Dio with the bug attacking an S-43.... Hmmmm.... Nope.
