WIP Kislev SerialMoMs trained bear

Hello alltogether,

floedebolle told me per phone that he really needs to see my progresses on my bear.
so i thought some of you might be interested too.

The bear is from Reaper.

When i am finished i will "publish" all models in the miniature gallery.

Bear front:



two sides and the back







at least a picture with my bear tamer model, so you can see thta this pet is really huge:



to the painting style:

i dry brushed the bear from a black base coat with seven brown colours up to a sand whit higlight.

The eyes are and the claws are not finished yet.

I am thinking about a little more blood may be a reaped victim or so.

But maybe some of you have a tip for me.

wowsy mr, that looks really nice, love it! And he´s really huge, almost towering my ogres, damn!;)well done!

thats a Biiig bear![b]

Nice!

VERY IMPRESSIVE mini, AND painting up VERY NICELY!

Wonderful paint job, although personally I don't like the mini itself, mainly because of the extremley overly large head.

Doc

This bear is ace well done -from Melpop

I think it looks rather groovey too it must be good as melpop never wants to put a comment on these and she has to look through them all with me Davespaceman

GrrrrRRRRRrrrr!

Nice job!

The fur is really good on that beast! Nice colour variation - looks very much like a real life bear. Don't know about the blood option though, IMHO will look better without.

It looks GRRRREAAT!!

Stay off the blood option. I think it looks more "real" this way.

Good work so far

Nice bear

*pets it on head*

Q: How long did it take to arrive at your door?
I was thinking about ordering that bear myself, but I'm still in doubt...

@ Gobbo freak.

I ordered it at battlefield Berlin, although they told me that a part was missing (this packaging batch was a bad batch).

This needed around 2 weeks of time.

Then i wrote two complaints to reaper, because of the missing right arm.

On both comnplaint they answered me accordingly and exceptionel friendly. The first time they sent me the left arm (this package needed mor than 3 weeks, because of toll procedures) again. The second time they sent me the right arm (needed around 3-4 weeks, beacause of tolll and so on).

Then i was finally able to start painting this model.

@ all: thank you very much for your feedback and the tip to not add any blood or gore. So i kept it natural and simple:







The last step was easy. I just added some dots in theyes, and put carefully some dark army painter vanish on the claws. I removed it on the high parts with a paper tissue. After a drying period i finished it with a matt finish.

I will post my complete Kislev warband later in the galery, of course with the finished bear model.

Thanks for the info.


The bear looks great!!!

It's good that your mini's Odyssey worked out; the final piece is quite SPECTACULAR! VERY WELL DONE!

wowsy mama, your beaver, oh, i am sorry, do i said beaver?! Of course i ment your bear, jap, thats the right word, looks astonishing, and good you listened to the guys not to cover him in GORE, i think too that it would have kind of destroyed the whole modell, and he finally comes out great! Nice work on the claws, though it was that simple, but great result! Thumbs up, look forward to see it on sunday, floedebolle
