GW giant – finished at last

I bought the Games Workshop giant a long time ago. I guess it was before we had moved to this house, or maybe just when we had moved, so it is 8+ years ago.
I built it, and waited. Green stuffed it, and waited. Painted his head… and waited. Club and hands… and waited. Pieces of cloth… etc
It been on my painting table on and off for years, and I just couldn’t get the enthusiasm needed for it. Couldn’t love it, and couldn’t really sell it off.
I moved it from storage two weeks ago… and waited. But I finally decided to finish it once and for all. A couple of evenings work, and it’s finally, finally, finished!
Paints used… forget it! I have no idea.
The tree is a sprig of heather.
I’m sipping a small glass of single malt, Strathisla, 12 years old. Life is good. One foe is vanquished.
This is a day for celebration!

  1. Nice giant! Do you still have the cowering human that was with it?

    Also I nominated you for a Liebster award!

  3. Finishing something from the Tin Mountain is always cause for celebration! I am fighting an uphill battle right now, with the mountain threatening to fall over and crush me.
