Pulp characters

In my last post I showed a couple of pulp models I'd been working on so here they are along with a few others. No prattling on, straight into the pics.

Three from Crooked Dice. Flamboyant Agent, Pandora King and the Despotic Dictator.

Next there's Golgo Satana and Dr Fang from Pulp Alley/Statuesque Miniatures.

Sticking with Statuesque there's Professor Felicity Poppington.

And finally a pair of cops from North Star from the Fistful of Kung Fu range.

I also managed to finish my Urban War shock marine! That bugger has been dragging on for quite some time largely because I just wasn't sure what I was doing with the paint scheme. Sometimes I look at a model and know exactly how I'd like to paint it, and other times I just draw a blank. I didn't help matters by adding three lots of freehand insignia. The shield wasn't actually that hard to paint in the end. I did pretty much copy the studio paint job though as I plumped for a unit number and then realised it needed something else so I added the band across the centre. It works though so I'm happy with it (I did partially repaint the number '1' the following day as it was 1mm off from the side and just seemed wrong). With this taking so long, starting another was quite daunting but I did do a bit of base work on one the other week. Might be done by Christmas... we'll see.

Got another job under way as well, this time some Foundry pirates. The first three are done bar basing and another seven are due to be done this week. Going for dark and drab colours here as that's what was requested so no stripey trousers or colourful head scarves.

I've also painted up a couple of armoured warriors from Otherworld Miniatures but the varnish is still wet on them so pics will have to wait until next time. That's me done for this post. :)

All sorts of stuff...

It's another of those posts where I've left it a bit long since my last one. So here we are with another mish mash of random models that most Facebook followers will have likely already seen. Going back a few weeks I painted a number of different fantasy adventurer types from various manufacturers. Good fun actually to have that bit of variety. In no particular order we have Seoni from Reaper Miniatures. I had no idea it was a 'named' character from a particular game world. I just saw her as a dancer or something.

Next an evil magic user from Otherworld Miniatures. I'm pretty sure this model was originally from elsewhere as I'm damned sure I recall it from quite a while back before OW got going. I think a few variants were available based on the same basic figure.

And another Otherworld model, this time a druid.

Onto a Darksword Miniatures piece. I don't know what character it's supposed to be but it's clearly an elf of one sort or other. The detail can be a bit fiddly on DS models but this one wasn't too bad.

Another Reaper model that yet again is a named character from a particular game world, and again I was clueless to so I went with my gut feeling and she ended up as a dark elf type.

Finally from this selection there's another Darksword piece. Bit awkward to paint due to the pose but it turned out quite nice. You lucky folks get to see tit and all here! Facebook pulled my last mini with it's tits out because their bots thought they were real chublies so I only posted a rear shot.

I also did a little more work to my Urban War Viridian shock marine. Just weathering and insignia and still trying to figure out what to paint on the shield that is now glued in place. Was going to paint some unit numbers a bit like the studio paint job but then thought I'd go with a unit insignia of some sort, then thought about just a camo pattern, and now back to the idea of numbers. I don't bloody know!

I also did a few bits for Crooked Dice. This time some cops. Various head options for these so plenty of versatility.

Also a pair of Otherworld Miniatures carnivorous apes. Rather fun to do and a nice change from my usual stuff.

And finally this week I've been working on a variety of pulp type models. Here are two, a female character from Statuesque Miniatures and a flamboyant agent from Crooked Dice.

And that's yer lot. Plenty of bits and pieces to come. More pulp figures, more fantasy and hopefully (finger crossed) I'll get that sodding shock marine done.
