From SanderS and ArthurS: Fantasy in the Library, Dungeons and Dragons! (50 and 35 points)

 Hoi,

You might have noticed Arthur and myself have been lacking in posts lately.  We were both down with a serious flu for a couple of weeks but are doing fine now. Since we are also having a holiday at the moment we partook in a little "Father and Son"project.  As Arthur is heavily involved in Dungeons and Dragons lately, we thought that would be a great subject for the Fantasy Department in the Library. Arthur has decided he will not be entering the Library this Challenge but agreed to tag along on my journey along its long and bookfilled corridors.


These figures have been in my collection for quite some time, I can't remember the producer but they are adult versions of the kids that accidentally enter the World of Dungeons and Dragons in the 80's cartoon. Said cartoon is my only real link with DnD apart from playing 2 games with Arthur, but he is now re-watching it and I decided to buy him a 3D printed set of the actually cartoon characters from Etsy.
And so we decided to paint up two versions of the fellowship, one of the young kids painted up by the Young One himself and one of the grown-up fellowship painted by the Old Fart himself.

My grown up version of the team:




Arthur's young/ original; version, Arthur's fellowship also includes Uni the unicorn.:




A series of comparison shots:







Pointswise, Arthur has painted up 7 miniatures in 28mm so he should be getting 35 points added to his tally.


Now I have painted a miniature less, since Uni is depicted on the shoulder of Bobby in my grown-up version, but I do get the Library bonus of 20 points along with the 30 for 6 miniatures in 28mm. 

Cheers Sander




Sylvain: What a great "Young One" - "Old Fart" project! This is so well thought of with the two identical-except-for-the-age felloewships. Both participants are demonstrating a complete mastery of their brush work. Three thumbs up! (Wait, where does that third one comes from...)

Note for TeemuL: I took care of entering ArthurS' points on 2/12/24.
