54mm Waiteri tribe: Chief scout


Here's my last scout, a young women in a leopard skin -- perhaps a daughter of the chief -- on the prowl.

I inked her face, but it seemed to muddy things up a bit; it's not very evident in the photo (I DID try a bit of repair work). But I think I will go back and start with the base color and redo her face. Otherwise, another satisfying member of the tribe.

I just have one more to go, my atlatl thrower, and I'm looking forward to adding war paint to one more figure. I tried leaving more skin showing on this next figure to make space for the war paint.

In the meantime, I've added a lot of growth to Conan's base as well as painted his loincloth. His hair, leathers and sword still need paint. Also, I've played a bit with the mammoth armature to try to get the proportions right with the torso and legs: It's tougher than I'd thought it would be. Maybe I should be measuring more and eyeballing less. NAH!
