Brom Part 3

Here's a quick mini-update.  I did a tiny bit more work on Brom, focusing on the wooden pauldron.  I used a series of browns (Walnut, Muddy, and Driftwood) and then Khaki Highlight for the final lights.  I have plans for some dull or faded green cloth on the figure, so I imagine I'll be recycling some of those browns and mixing them with the greens.  I'll have to experiment a bit, I've done that with blue and assume it should produce similar results with green.  The other reasoning behind that choice is to create a consistent feel to the piece by reusing colors in different mixes.

I also started on the fur under his left pauldron.  There I'm going from dark brown into grey.  Still a ways to go before the contrast is consistent with the rest of the figure.

Just a quick cell phone shot.  The lighting is a bit harsh, so the figure feels a little washed out (but not too bad).

I also thought I'd share this shot of the work on the base.  In the first post on this figure I mentioned doing a broken bridge.  I took some wood strips and hacked at them with the hobby knife in order to make the planks.  I tied them together with string and wound that around the posts.  For the sections I was happy with, I applied some thin superglue (a variant you can find at hobby stores) which quickly soaks into the string and then hardens, locking it in a specific shape.  Still going to do a bit more with the strings at the posts, so those sections are still moveable.
