Reaper Yvonne... shiny :-)


Hey folks!  I have a set of this particular Reaper miniature coming to use as the figure for the Sky/Earth Non Metallic Metal video.  I am using some Urban Mammoth figures for the Golds, brass and Bronze video.

I did this one years ago, and it was always one of my favorites for SE-NMM.  It had the most open, unhindered surfaces, with several different types of angles.  The sword is just perfect for what I need to do, and there were many other good spots for that 'horizon line'.


All these factors were way more important than they were for the standard NMM video, where reflections are not the issue.  I will also be scanning some images from my Medieval Armor book that has actual photographs of actual humans wearing actual shiny armor in actual scenes. :-)  These will be shown in the video (with credits to the author & publisher, etc.) as reference material.


Speaking of Reaper minis, there should be a big box of those arriving either tomorrow or Friday!  It was at least 10-12 videos worth of minis.

  1. Reaper is great, just bough a bunch myself from the pathfinder series. Now I'll have to check out Urban Mammoth too. Stop expanding my horizons! The Lady Inquisitor and I are vying for space in the forbidden closet of mystery with boxes of minis vs. boxes of shoes (Little does she know I've filled most of her shoe boxes with minis)...

    1. Ah, so you just have to 'shoehorn' the minis into the boxes, and they will be hidden until needed!

      The box just showed up, with lots of goodies inside!

    1. If you look at the articles I posted in the Empire Handgunners, you will see lots of SE-NMM :-) Also, as I noted in the post, there will be a 'how to' video made. After the Kickstarter videos are mailed out, they will be available to the general public...

    1. On this particular figure I would not know... it was painted many years ago :-)

      I approach miniatures with no specific colors. I only use a mix of sky blue and brown, with some off white...
