Blade Maiden Leader
by Dirk Stiller
Well, here it is. My version of the Blade Maiden. I finally managed to finish her 99%. I still plan to apply some blood to the sword and the armour and paint on some more nice tatoos and rework the one on the leg a bit. And finish up the base. But no major changes anymore. Well, I don't have so much to say about the paint job, like always. The painting itself was much fun. The only little conversion I allowed myself was the severed head in her left hand. Recogniced him. I was searching around in my miniature boxes to find some inocent goblin get a propper severed head when I found this little Asterix miniature manufactured by Hobby Products years ago. I think it has become quite rare now, maybe I shouldn't have cut it apart at all. But what the heck. It was worth the joke. :o) Anyway, I pinned the head to the fist with some steele wire and glued it in place with super glue. Then I resculpted a bit of the hair with green stuff. Next I sculpted the spine and some vains coming out of the severed neck. I also resculpted his mouth open with the tongue sticking out. For the spine I first glued some wire into a hole I had drilled into the neck. Then I build up some greenstuff around it and sculpted in the vertebrae and the vains. The I primed the miniature with my usual car primer/airbrush and painted it. Hope you like my "Oh, my god, you killed Asterix...!" Blade Maiden. :o))))
