Miniature Painting Spotlight: Miniature Restoration – Pegasus

March 9, 2021

Hello, Dear Readers! I hope your week is going well. I’ve been doing okay, truth be told, and working on a lot of self-care.


In fact, today’s post is about a miniature that is dear to me. It’s my dad’s old mini for one of his favorite characters: the bard Pegasus. Pegasus was an old 1st Edition AD&D bard, where you had to take 6 levels as a fighter, 6 as a thief (rogue), and then 6 as a spellcaster of some sort (he was doing druid). Being a bard was tough back in the day!


Pegasus was a half-elf with golden hair. I know this because, despite the hair being worn away, I called my dad and asked him about the miniature, only to find out which one it actually was!


Here’s where he was and the process I had of restoring him.

Miniature figure of a warrior holding a sword, wearing green tunic and brown boots, on a gray base.
Miniature figure of a warrior, holding a sword and a small object in front of a white background.
Miniature figure of a man in green tunic wielding a sword.

And here’s where he ended up going. I tried to color match as much as possible.

Miniature figure of a warrior with a sword and helmet, posed against a white background.
Miniature figure of a person in green clothing holding a sword and a fistful of something.

He’s like brand new.


I plan to do some minor shading on him and send some pictures to my dad. He was never one of those that painted in a super lot of detail, and he used the old Testor gloss enamel paints, which was interesting. The paints I used covered nicely, in my opinion.


What do you think, Dear Readers?
