Went over to Rich's last night and we managed to get two games of Across the Dead Earth it played a lot quicker this week I think mainly because there was just the two of us. I have a few pics of the second game on my phone I'll try and do a report on the second games when i've had chance to look at the pics.
Anyway I finished off number 3 of the Family this morning in some free time as the kids where out on a trip and works was quiet. I had a bit of a dilemma with this chap his jacket is excellent and has loads of pockets and pouches sculpted. I was debating whether to do the jacket it in urban camo or leave it plain so you can see the pockets etc.
Decided to leave it and just do his cap in camo. in the end another lovely sculpt. My Only gripe with the figure is I wish the scope on the rifle had the lenses sculpted in would of been far easier painting them in.
Adam the leader of the gang has been pretty much basecoated and shading has begun hopefully have him ready for the weekend.

The Trio done so far.
Stunning paint job!
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil!
DeleteGood looking trio. I think you made the right choice with regard to camo on the jacket. Too much camo and they will look like hard core militia and not post apocalypse survivors. Very nice work. I look forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Clint. I deliberately decided to paint them all different with mismatched clothing so they don't look like militia as you describe.
DeleteHola
ReplyDeleteGRAN trabajo
No se si es a mi pero se parece al que hacia la película de la cruz de hiero ¿=?
un saludo
Hola J.D
DeleteI didn't intend to make him look like that guy but yes I can see they look similar to the guy in the Iron Cross movie :D
Greetings!
nice job, and he seems equipped for everything
ReplyDeleteThanks Dezzie!
DeleteYou nailed the paint job on the sniper. The highlighting is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much I really enjoyed painting him once I eventually decided what colour was going where.
DeleteGreat job Simon.
ReplyDeleteI think you made the right call, too much camo can make them look a little too military or that they raided the nearest Army Surplus store too regularly.
Really nice sculpts, when are these on general release?
Thanks Bob. Sooner rather than later I hope. At the moment the backers are to receive theres in October with a general release in November.
DeleteThe guys are hoping to release it earlier so maybe they will available sooner.
I thin you made the eight decision Simon. I'm sure you coudl have pilled it off but the detail would have been lost, looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. Yeah it would of disguise it and it has loads of cool details.
DeleteAt the end of the day it's cracking work!
ReplyDeleteThank you very kindly mate!
DeleteExcellent looking figures!
