Okay, so I started painting this shortly after I gave it to my daughter for Christmas … 2014.  He languished in a box, in my kit, on and off for the last two years.

A while back I pulled him out and applied a new paint, Scale 75 Amethyst Alchemy, as a wash over his already green and purple body to give him a metallic look and feel.

And now in my recent kick to clear some Shelf of shame Space, I have FINISHED this Jabberwocky.  Whew.  Just in time to “re-gift” it to her.

Here’s what went into this bad boy…

Basecoats:

• Body :: Vallejo Yellow Green
• Face, Underbelly, Spine and Wings :: Reaper Witchcraft Purple
• Claws and Eyes :: Vallejo Pancer Aces Stencil

Washes & Glazing:

• Purple :: DecoArt’s Americana Gloss Enamel Dioxazine Purple
• Metallic :: Scale 75 Amethyst Alchemy

Highlights:

• Claws, Wing Spines, and Horns :: Scale 75 Black Metal
• Horns, Wing Spikes, and Tail Spike :: Vallejo Blue Violet
• Eyes :: Reaper Sun Yellow blended to Reaper Rach Red

Flagstones:

• Reaper Ruddy Brown
• Vallejo Yellow Green
• Reaper Rattlesnake Leather (Promo Color)
• Highlights :: Reaper Rainy Grey
• Crevices :: Reaper Grey Liner

Base and Integration with Integral Base of Mini:

All in all, he was an interesting build and paint.  The only thing I don’t care for on this mini was the sculptor’s treatment of the claws.  They were kind of armor-like and didn’t quite fit in with the overall esthetic of the mini.

Here’s “Wocky” …

Enjoy!
