Guild Ball: Honour
Mason’s Guild – Honour
As with Mallet, Honour shows a great action pose and as is often the case, only has one foot on the base.

A lot of the Guild Ball models come with their extra pieces attached via sprue to the base tab. Here we see Honour’s hand and hammer attached. Unlike Mallet, Honour had some significant flash on her right side where the mold halves hadn’t quite sealed together.
From the side it’s easier to see the flashing that runs the length of her torso.
The hand and hammer have a very thin connection point at the wrist, so pinning is highly recommended, particularly with a piece that sticks up and out like this, it’s just begging to be snapped off without the extra shearing support a pin provides.

I carried on with the color palette I came up with while painting Mallet and it worked well again here. My big complaint for this model is that I found the face of this model to be very plain, too plain actually. While all female faces tend to be smoother, this one was too smooth, with little contouring of any kind. It carried none of the character and nobility that her studio art suggested. Maybe if the face had been a little higher up to eliminate some forehead and the skull more elongated it would have suited me better.

Overall it felt like there were more small details on Honour than Mallet. Chisels on the back, a sash hanging in front, lots of little buckles.
