Faeries Wear Wings!
So I got some fantasy female hobbits and dwarves that I was going
to cobble together in a unit. But no matter what you think about
scale inconsistency on human males is, for female non-human small
races ... it's worse.
Oh ... I think one of those is a gnome. Or maybe the gnome fit size
better with the dwarves.
So, we bring in this little bit of gear from the craft store. It
has three settings, so it's pretty complex as far as shaped paper
cutters go. There's the basic wing shape, the low-res pattern, and
the high resolution pattern.
It's a bit expensive. But if you have a use for it ...
... like giving die-hard 40K players appoplectic fits or making
a kill team for your niece, it's worth the purchase.
And then we're back to the current project, using wings to
leverage some figures that were too small for their intended
use.
I have the hobbits (and gnome or not)mounted on a heroclix
flying figure base (newere Hawkman). This gets them off the
ground and also let me cut the bases at different angles to
create the feel of them flitting around in different directions.
I hand drew the wings, doing the thick lines first with a Sharpie
and the finer lines with a ball point pen. The figures are sealed
with matte sealant, but the wings got two layers of gloss for that
gossamer effect.
Here they are with some (probably very surprised) Spanish 28mm figures
for a size reference.
