D&Ds Purple Worm

#1 Post by kevtk135 »

This mini from D&D has been sitting on my To Do shelf for a long time. Following the box art I started in.
The kit comes in 4 parts - the body, top and bottom hales of the head and a base.

It was much easier to paint the inside of the mouth before gluing it together. So it got a coat of V's Beige Red. It was at this point I noticed a missing tooth on the bottom jaw. So I drilled a thin wire in and sculpted some Aves to fill in the missing fang.

Again, I got into it and never took and WIP pics. The worm was painted with V's Purple, Then I highlighted with flesh color mixed with the purple. I kept adding flesh to get the different levels of highlighting.
The teeth were painted with Ivory, and then the whole inside got a wash of Sepia.
Thanks for looking.

I love minis. Some of them aren't even that 'mini' anymore. They usually have great sculpts with lots of texture, which encourages great paint jobs :)

Very cool kit. Looks like a decent size.
The paint work is great. Love the purple, and how you blended everything.

Thanks guys. It wasn't tiny tiny. But then I've been using my Opti-visors for everything for a few years now. ;)

Thanks! I saw one of the You Tubers paint it up, and just had to have one. :)
