Sandor Clegane

Who? Many people know him better as The Hound from the HBO series Game of Thrones. This is another kit from Gillman Productions.  He came in two parts - the bust and the base. Once again, it's a very clean kit with one tiny bubble, and seam lines that are extremely thin. 

I don't have many early stage pics on this one because I got back into my bad habit of having multiple kits on the bench at the same time. So I would just go from one to the next to the next and back again.

The first image I have is after getting his face and scar done - 

Looking at this image I thought WOW that looks too raw, and decided to have a look. Well, it seems that over the seasons his scar went from very red and fresh looking to very pale. So anyone painting this kit has a wide leeway of how the scar could look. 
From there I added color to his beard and clothes. I wasn't sure if these clothes came from an actual  scene or made up by the sculptor. Not feeling in the mood to search 6 season worth of wardrobe changes, I mad his shirt gray and jacket brown, and while I was at it I painted in the eyes. Wikipedia says they are brown.

 Next up was to tackle the rock work on the base and the what I think is a wax seal.  The rocks were simple a series of gray washes and dry brushing. The seal started with Citadel's Khorne Red, then highlighted in a few stages with Mephiston Red, Evil Sun Scarlet, and finally ... I forget the name orange. Oops. ;) 

Next, the jacket needed a little something. So I took an orange and made little chevron shapes to each of the brown squares to indicate a highlight. Also, along the bottom of the base is sculpted in grass. So I hit that with a little olive green, and gave it a wash with one of Citadels green washes to darken it down a bit. - 

Here's where I had a minor disaster. Seems to be a recent regular for me that something goes wrong nearly at the last minute. I sprayed some of the Vallejo Matt Clear, and as it was drying, I could see it frosting up. Suddenly Sandor had gray hair!!  Arrggh!  Thankfully a quick coat of Citadels Nuln Oil got rid of the gray. After that I used DullCote over the figure and just glossed his eyes calling this one done. Thanks for looking.
