It all looks so easy when one just looks into the pictures.

Bloody amazing Olofer! Stunning!

I take it you are back from the other side of the world then?

Long time ago mate! I returned 2006 but have only painted scarcely since then, unfortunately. New miniatures are coming tho, I'm working on something BIG

Olofér · **Posted:** Sun Feb 15, 2009 4:15 pm

New stuff!

This time I'm working on a knights templar. This is sort of a side project to my gates of Moria diorama. I felt like starting something historical again.

Comments welcome!

Take care,

Kris

Very nice, very realistic, I am not sold on the blue eyes yet but when they are completed I'll bet they'll look just fine.

amazing, what size is the minature? if its 28mm i'm going to faint :lol:

Olofér · **Posted:** Tue Mar 03, 2009 10:20 pm

Tunic is coming along. I'm going for that realistic, dirty look as of a knight who has actually been to the crusade for years.
, mud and blood stains to be expected!

Oh and the miniature is 54 mm.

WOW!!

Really impressive work on his face...the skin tones are excellent and very well blended! Outstanding work!

This is another of the fantastic Andrea historical figures. They do some film-based version as well.

Lovely! I like the skin tone on the face.

Cant wait to see this one finished, looking promising.

I ought to get myself some 54mm scale models, not sure where to get some though. Dont want to buy online, and being in Australia they arent that easy to find.

Good work,

KJ Necromancer

I would have thought it was a real life person if the white would have been covered aswell! Excellent job mate! :shock:

The skin tones have an oil-painted look to them. You've achieved something amazing there Kris - the sculpture is going to be a masterpiece when it's finished!

tidoco · **Posted:** Thu Mar 05, 2009 1:36 pm

This is an occaision where to be able to use an expletive would be good but as I can't "fudge that is good".

Thanks guys! Through this miniature I've managed to find insipiration I haven't felt in years, I'm just so excited to keep painting it! You might have noticed I've changed my style somewhat, I'm going for a more 'art'-like look from now on (Alan was on to it). I'm greatly inspired by some of the masters at coolminiornot.com, this is what you'll be seeing from me from now on ^^

Dorth, this is actually Balian from Kingdom of Heaven, so it too is based on a film!

KJ, I live in Sweden, thats like the north pole of europe, it was a pain to get models sent here, so I bet you can do it too

Olofér · **Posted:** Mon Mar 09, 2009 9:52 am

One small baby step at a time.

White is a very tough paint to work with, but it sure is a good challenge!

KJ Necromancer · **Posted:** Mon Mar 09, 2009 10:43 am

Looking good.

Keep it up,

KJ Necromancer

That Maximus mini is excellent! I recognised him straight away without reading the top bit. Brilliant job and keep up the good work!

Erunion · **Posted:** Mon Mar 09, 2009 2:02 pm

Excellent work on the templar, Kris. I painted an Andrea Miniature for my father last year and it was a joy to do. The miniature itself was very nicely executed, and it was refreshing to work with a different scale with more detail.

Keep up the good work!

Had alot of time to paint this easter, so I cheated on my diorama and finished my 54 mm knight templar. I just need to complete the scenic base I have constructed for it before submitting it to the hard critique of coolminiornot (they're wolves, never submit before making a proper base or they'll rip it apart!)

Hallpers · **Posted:** Mon Apr 13, 2009 12:17 pm

It looks so realistic! Amazing!
