Recognise this bad boy ?

Sculpted by our very own Sun of Fundin aka Bennett. He has given me the honour of painting this figure and I am impressed with his work. Lets not forget this lad is only 16 and is sculpting at a level way beyond me at 45 !!!
I am sure he has a wonderful future in store in the sculpting world but lets not forget one other thing - I painted the first Bennett sculpt.
And here he is so far, very much a WIP.

Congrats ! :-)

,

eh, is the topic title meant to be 'Beserker' to differentiate from the uruk 'berserker' or just a small spelling mistake? :no:

Impressive sculpt by anyones standards let alone for someone of 16. Im sure you'll do it justice with your paint job.

I'm starting to believe in past lives...

Thanks for the responce. I think this may be a spelling mistake but it does make it different to the Uruk version.

Very nice sculpt, only 16 years old! A very talented sculptor indeed.
Look forward to seeing progress on the painting Mally :-)

Heres a brief update of where I am. Still feeling my way around the figure, sketching here and there but I seem to be heading along something I am happy with.

The photos are over exposed and have not made the dark areas as dark as they are. The tattoos have not come out well.
I'm hoping for a good day tomorrow and could have the painting near finished, with any luck.
Im still not decided on a colour for the inner cloak/wolf hide.
I've still got the leather and boots to do, then some bits of tidying here and there.

if the sculptor is interested in casting and selling these I'd deff love one! The old Dunland list for Legions of Middle Earth teased Dunlending Beserkers, this guy would be perfect!

Beast. Great job both of you

All complete as you can see.

Bennett has done a great job with this sculpt and it has been my pleasure to paint it.
From the instant I saw it I knew he had to be running through a stream.

More photos on my blog

Nice paint job

ja33 · **Posted:** Thu Mar 26, 2015 6:45 pm

excellent work, as usual...and a perfect choice on the base, and well executed as well

Nice NMM on the axe and a great paint job all round. I very much like the base.

Harfoot · **Posted:** Thu Mar 26, 2015 11:16 pm

Great work Mally, the NMM does look good, nice water effect and a Tattoo if i'm not mistaken. More photos would be good, i'll check your blog

Wow awesome! The sculpt is really really good (I can see more details now that he is painted) and you have certainly done it justice!

Indeed. a very good job on this guy. Your paint job really does bring out the best in this already great sculpt. I also think that the base is perfectly suited to him.

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Fri Mar 27, 2015 5:22 pm

Many thanks to each of you that has responded. I know Bennett is delighted and I am too, it has been a great project to work on together.
Who knows, rivals to Dave and Kevs crown ?

YOrcShire · **Posted:** Fri Mar 27, 2015 8:14 pm

Looks great. Fantastic effort all round. The splashing effect on the base is very well done.

Cheers mate

I'm not usually a fan of non lotr models but this is pretty cool. Love the base especially.
