 |
| Likewise the Lannister heroes have metallic parts to finish |
 |
| the masses had some more highlighting done |
 |
| along with belts and touch-ups on the parts done so far |
 |

Metallic finalize now and then get everything sealed in a clear matte coat. Then the flocking.
Still looking good for done before the 29th of October
Now the highlights are really coming out.

 |
| all of the reds are now fully developed |
 |
| undercoats for the bright bronzes and golds are done and ready to take metallic |
 |
| the two forces are really shaping up now |
most of the cloth highlights are now done and some more focus work done on the heroes
 |
| The mountain only needs some bronze parts other Lannisters have last highlights and metallic to go |
 |
| Lannister bronze and gold highlights to be put on |
 |
| the dire wolf will have more focus time the two Stark women will have further time on them as well |
 |
| bronze and gold parts on all the shields and armor highlights to go |

 |
| the reds all got another 'punch up' |
 |
| detail on Jamie Lannister is really jumping out now |
 |
| busy day ... only the yellow got attention time |
we have a new home being organized now and this commission was targeted as a last one done in the current setup ... gonna be a while before I can safely say that I have time to accept new work like this
 |
| red mid-range goes on |
 |
| red is such a finicky color |
 |
| some light tans were updated |
 |
| getting ready for the light blue and grey highlighting |
 |
| the two forces really stand apart to the eye quickly now |
 |
| bases get metallic upgrade |
now the bases will get some more paint on the sides before top coat and flocking, glad I got them base coated and have been picking away at parts when time is available
Metal parts have begun
 |
| the Stark wolf shields will feature some metal wolves, others with painted wood look |
 |
| again the two forces are distinct in presentation |
 |
| only the swords were fully done in this stage |
 |
| there was time to do the 'dusty' metal parts that the Lannisters have much of |
 |
| there are plans for brass and gold parts to be done - especially on Jamie Lannister |
Now house details take over for a couple of days - there may be time for the chainmail to be done before the weekend.
Then comes final leather and highlights ... along with detail 'repairs'.
