Special Projects

(14-FEB-2002)
Welcome to "special projects." I wasn't really sure where to stick this stuff. It's
not really Warhammer 40,000, but then again it involves way more miniatures than
anything on the Friends and Other Fun Stuff page, so I decided on a compromise by making its own
page that's kinda somwhere in between the two.

Some of you who have been reading my page for a long
time, or who know me "in real life" know that I'm a big fan of the
Texas Renaissance Festival.
Over the years, several friends of mine from school have worked RenFest in varying
capacities - Andrea was a beer wench, Kevin was a pretzel guy, and Nina was an
actress.
Nina is a member of the core company of actors there, and accordingly, her costumes
(which she makes by herself) are quite spectacular.

This is the real Nina dressed as Amelia von Cleves, her character for the
1998 and 1999 seasons of the TRF.
|
Those familiar with Warhammer Fantasy Battles
should immediately recognize Lucretia Belladonna from Games Worshop's "Dogs
of War" line. A little green stuff here and there, some Empire helmet plumes,
and plenty of painstaking painting later - voila! - a miniature Amelia von Cleves.

In 2000 Nina began playing the part of Anne Boleyn, and accordingly changed
her costume. This is a picture of the two of us taken at last year's (2001)
festival.
|
In order to make Anne Boleyn, I settled on Texas-based
Reaper Miniatures'
"Tristan Loremistress." Since I'm not much of a sculptor, the
amount of conversion required for this piece was far more than I'm accustomed to; I used
green stuff to fashion the headdress, the front and sides of the dress, and the
purity seal applied to the front.
