This is another figure I won off a Charity Auction. It was quite a surprise when I got notified, as Natalya's miniatures are always very popular and hard to get!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8PeDI3Up5Lg/Sk4rHt-VqRI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/yfUtpTjRJ4g/s1600-h/terezina.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8PeDI3Up5Lg/Sk4rHt-VqRI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/yfUtpTjRJ4g/s400/terezina.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354264418590238994" border="0" /></a>You'll notice she's slightly different to the <a href="http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/familiar/sku-down/02826">stock miniature from Reaper</a> - Natalya has resculpted the face on Terezinya so it has a better defined cheekbone, lips and chin. The skin is painted in quite a dark (for me anyway) skin tone, and is amazingly smooth and life-like. The NMM and satin finish on the clothing is also a stand-out! Anyway, here's a montage shot:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8PeDI3Up5Lg/Sk4sbUiO68I/AAAAAAAAAaY/viNKU7pIG2w/s1600-h/terezina-montage.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 294px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8PeDI3Up5Lg/Sk4sbUiO68I/AAAAAAAAAaY/viNKU7pIG2w/s400/terezina-montage.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354265854870481858" border="0" /></a>You can see more of Natalya's miniatures at <a href="http://www.coolminiornot.com/artist/Alexi%20Z/orderby/Descending">CoolMiniOrNot</a>, or at her <a href="http://alexi-z.livejournal.com">blog</a>. She also does commissions and regularly puts up sales on Ebay.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17561497-386308322504067036?l=arrch.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06919790426689964242noreply@blogger.com2
