Not much time for hobby of late but I did manage to get this kitbashed Fidwog “Cook” (essentially a Medic in the rules) done. Normally one would have to purchase the Fidwog Command kit to make one of these guys but I don’t have that and had a 3D printed teapot arm and some other sundry parts and thought… yeah, I can make my own. (And if I ever get the actual kit to make a proper one, this guy can just be another rhyfler who is everyone’s pal.)

| This is Nevylle. He likes to think and act as the Company Cook. He has some knowledge of battlefield dressing and goodness does he make a good cup of tea! |
 |
| Crap freehand so the porcelain looks a bit fancy. |
 |
| Custom backpack with some sort of lockbox and canteen from the ol’ bits box. Also two Bergen barrels full of Fidwog liquor to bring up the spirits of his fellow quarriors. |

| The other side of the teapot. Looks just as naff this side too 🤣 |
Hope all are enjoying the dying days of Summer and staying safe and well out there.

Nice work, Dai! I especially like the details on the teapot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon. Guess folks like the freehand - I thought it was half-arsed in all honesty.
DeleteYeah, I agree Dai - I think you are being a bit hard on yourself there, mate! Nevylle looks great - and so does his teapot! (Royal Doulton with hand painted periwinkles!)
ReplyDeleteVery kind of you to say so Keith, thanks mate.
DeleteExcellent work Dai, the teapot painting is awesome, and looks like a shop bought teapot, so well done mate, and who needs the official model, when yours looks so damn cool.
ReplyDeleteHa! Well alright then. Thanks loads Dave.
DeleteFantastic work Dai!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal!
DeleteNice work Dai. He's certainly a strange looking fellow.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray - all the Quar are weird for sure. I think that's part of their charm, just so different from anything else really.
DeleteLove that teapot! Nice way to make a medic without going the usual and obvious route.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. It's a fun aspect of the rules that the setting is like a perpetual "war", yet there's fun whimsy all over the place that makes it all hard to take the "war" aspect seriously really.
DeleteWow..!! I genuinely was delighted to see this teapot-carrying Quar, Dai, as it's definitely not something you see on the battlefield ordinarily. Terrific paint-job too.
ReplyDeleteThe Quar kits have options like this teapot and really do add some fun silliness to battle and to one's collection in general. Thanks Simon!
DeleteWell, you totally made my day with this one. The weird image of the poor fella carrying the teapot is so evocative! It tells a story just by being there and I love that kind of charm in a mini. Besides, I love the porcelain work, I wouldn't have dared to do that and it looks really atmospherical! Well done!
ReplyDeleteHa! Well thank you mate. The idea of this little fella pouring out a hot cuppa for his downed comrades to help them out of their violence induced stupors is a silly fun image for sure.
