The City in the Clouds'Do you see that large cloud?'

I saw it; The magnificence of it suddenly revealed in a brilliant display of visionary grace – as if it had just waited for someone to notice. It appeared so deep, so vast; Snow-white, yet lavished with beautiful contour.

'That's where we live. It's our city.' I took at moment to process, scan the boy's face for deceit. There was none. The girl smiled too, a broad, reassuring smile that did nothing to distort her beautiful face, as if it had been specifically designed for just that. Their beauty was not so much in physical features, rather in their fairy presence and celestial quality. Younger than my par
Stain Boy and Staring Girl TributeThis little girl wouldn't stop to stare,
Her strange behaviour upset the cop
And Stain Boy made it pretty clear,
The staring would have to stop

Yet Staring Girl, she just stared on,
No matter what Stain Boy did
He stared right back, but never won,
What's wrong with this weird little kid?

But Stain Boy knows a trick or two,
And let the stain run up the wall
It wet and weakened the ceiling too,
And let the chandelier fall

Wouldn't you know, it hit her indeed,
Her blood was all over the place
Poor Staring Girl will no longer see,
Her eyes are no longer in her face

My first (and probably last) Eldar. I thought I would never get done with this...

No wonder you thought you'd never get done. You just painted Eldrad Ulthran, one of the most detailed Eldar models ever. The model came out over a decade ago, but with the level of detail it could just as well have come out just last month.
By the way, and I don't know if you honestly care (and if not just ignore this bit) you painted him in the wrong colors. I don't mean to tell you what colors to use, it's just that I play the craftworld he's from, so I tend to get particular.

Yeah it definitely holds up to the standard of recent models, even surpassing some of them *cough*new empire fincast wizard*cough* :D
I know it's the wrong colours, I hope it's not too offending to hardcore Eldar fans hehe. I just wanted to do something different at the time and the model was just perfect for it ^^

The one I painted up for my army was the old pewter model, so I haven't had the opportunity to paint the Citadel Finecast version of Eldrad. All in all, I don't really have a problem with finecast, especially in regards to detail, but there's something to be said for the heft of a pewter centerpiece model.
I can certainly understand why you'd choose to use this model for a bit of something different. His ''true'' color pallate is a somewhat monotone black-and-white.

I haven't had much of a problem with finecast either, except that they seem to be bending in the heat (his staff was originally bent, I straightened it up after having it in hot water, but it's slowly bending again). And there's definitely some charm about the weigth of metal minis :D
Yup, wasn't my fave thing to paint, but it's a lot better now with the new greys such as Eshin Grey ^^

Huh. I didn't know they had any problems with heat. Thanks, I'll have to remember that.
I'm not familiar with Eshin Grey. Is that one of those newfangled paints they released last month?

Yeah I definitely wouldn't leave them in a window or near a lamp or anything like that, during midsummer I think I'll have to put them in the fridge hehe ^^
Yep it's a new very nice, dark grey - now I don't have to mix anymore :D

Hmm... I'll have to keep that in mind. I've got a couple of unpainted finecast models, so it'll be good to remember.
So, it's darker than Codex Grey? Interesting.

Yes there are actually 3 shades darker than codex grey now, if I remember correctly :thumbsup:
