Unbearable weather.


Well, I think the only way we are going to be spared these incessant downpours is for winter to take hold.  The choice is... do you wish to drown, or freeze?

 Shoveling snow is way more fun than trying to bail water!

I bet this bear loves the snow even more!!


It's from Mierce Miniatures.  The base is about 60mm.


Lots going on with this figure.  I really tried to get the fur to have as many different colors embedded as possible.  Warm tans, greens, a bit of blue... even some pink.

I was trying to reflect the snow, yet also provide some contrast with those warmer colors.


It was quite the beast!

    1. Thanks for the kind words! Summer here means tremendous heat, unexpected cold, and massive downpours punctuated by no rain at all :-)

    I'm not going to apologize for that pun, you'll have to grin and bear it.

    1. It's from Mierce Miniatures. I don't know the name of the figure, but I think there is also an unmounted version of the character as well. :-) Thanks!
