| Horus the Headless |
Not much to say about painting this time, other than a few minor details filled in while it was easier to have the model not attached to the base. Even then, the photo won't show all of it: the skulls on chains are on the rear of the miniature.
Finally, however, it's time to assemble everything on the base, with the head probably being done next. I really wanted this assembly stage to get a feel of how it would all tie together, and see the result of planning some four years ago.
Overall, I think the ideas put into the colours and how it would all balance has worked out well. The eagle might dominate a little too much at the moment, but Horus' face will fix that, and there's still much work to be done on the rubble about the base that will also change the framing slightly. Ultimately it doesn't feel like any one piece stands out and forces all else to be ignored, and I think that does justice to the incredible sculpt; it's not just a single character, it's an entire scene that can be taken in.
I've yet to decide if I'll power on with more, or take a short break and get some other models done first, but either way motivation will come easier now.
-- silly painter.
