Ok, it is a Frost Giant from Reaper Bones for 28mm miniatures, but on one hand it is a bit short for being a Giant at that scale, and on the other hand I did not want a Frost Giant painted like a Smurf and with a hard-to-believe ice sword.

I wanted a "Norse" Giant like the ones you can see in Games of Thrones, and I wanted it in leather, wood, stone and bones and without any metal, to give it some prehistoric flavour. I also saw it perfect for 1/72 scale.

So this is how it turned out; a real king in the North.

I'm not quite happy with the "bone" sword but I didn't want one made of ice or stone, so there you go, some spine taken from a long-ago dead leviathan.





Close up of the face. I 'm happy with the eyes as I could not see them very well with my poor eyesight.


As you can see, it is just perfect for 1/72 scale.

Agree with Chris! And he looks just like something you can see in the forests up here in the north!

You don’t know poor eyesight!
Very nice painting. Did you add a gloss to the eyes and mouth? They look very glisteny.

Fantastic brushwork from a blacksmith.
These uruks are surely gonna be on the receiving end of a good bashing. Congratulations smithy!

What a beauty that Giant is...and his smaller companions/opponents are pretty good too! Fine work.

Yes, after matte coating the whole model I gave gloss to eye and tongue. I think they look better with a bit of shine. Thank you!

Thank you guys!

I like him as well. Super paintjob. And no smurf for sure.

[Santi Pérez]

I agree with all above opinions, Javier. The painting quality of that giant is top notch. Really amazing!

Great job!

Santi.

Not my cup of tea, but those Vikings as fantasy warriors look very nice!
