The Fianna Fimm- Almost Fimm-ished!

Last week was spent very pleasantly cruising along the canals of Olde England, and though there were many locks I did find some moments to paint the rest of the Fianna Fimm. These guys were sculpted over basic bodies I cast from my earlier two Fianna Fimm sculpts. For some reason my brain wasn't recalling the appropriate sequence for painting Fimm which I have followed so many times, and I left my instructions at home so these guys are a little more pink than the others. I wasn't happy with them at all for a long time but I think they've worked out OK. Maybe the Fianna scrub more frequently than their bog-standard-Fimm brethren!

Left to right: Twinkles, Pipes, Dopey, Toothy, Meanie and Beaky!

Here's the unit nearly complete, with the two original Fianna sculpts, vintage Fimir and unit filler.

All I need now is to sculpt the unit champion who will be based on the Garthim Master from the Dark Crystal, principally on this illustration by Mr Brian Froud:

I've finished sculpting the heads etc. onto the resin castings I took from my original Fianna Fimm sculpts. Now the unit is almost complete (except for painting) save for the unit leader who is going to be based on Skek-Ung the Garthim Master. I particularly like the strolling piper!

Here's the unit as it stands, with unit filler included... the trial stone! I've decided to leave the Ciatdel Fimir with this unit for the time being, he was floating around a little aimlessly before and looks pretty nice in the front rank. Guess I'd better give him some tribal tattoos then.

The unit filler next to the Standard Bearer, I think someone's spent too long on the tanning bed! Better tone her down a bit methinks.
