The Crazy Crustacean


This unusual Crustacean is from Mierce Miniatures.  It's part of the "monstrous infantry" segment that I have mentioned previously.


He's pretty large, on a base that is about 80mm.


I had a lot of fun playing with the color contrasts.  Some very warm oranges and reds, juxtaposed with the cooler, muted purples.


I did a lot of work with the filberts early on blocking in all these shades, moving things around, shifting where each color block went, and so on.  This is the great flexibility that the Shaded Basecoat technique allows!

  2. He looks simply awesome.

    Is he supposed to match with your Kraken, as the colours seem a bit alike?
