Well I finished this figure twice this week. Originally I painted her up with the intention of starting a new faction completely. But unable to find some feisty catsuit minions I have had to rethink my plans. So ended up changing the blue for orange to match my Wild Ducks cast I did before. My thinking coming mainly from the fact the Crooked Dice have just released and plan to release some of there own Soldiers (armed with Sterlings and SLR's) there fantastic minis and I want a force of these two which then leaves out my Wild Ducks as going spare so they are going to be converted into a Despotic Dictator's minion cast instead with Golgo as Co star as a jack booted sadist or Double agent character. The Wild Ducks will get a bit of restructuring they will get new attack dogs (Dobermans I think) and some new additions such as machine gun and bazooka teams.
The Resurrection cast I mentioned before the Rising Eagle Society or R.E.S has been sidelined for now mainly because not being happy with any lady minions I can find for it. I'd love some similar to Golgo with normal heads or field caps with mp40 or a similar smg but can't find any that I like. The Ones I made look ok but they don't scratch the itch for it so the hunt will continue.

First off in blue!

Some Pics for those that requested it of my whole Batman Crew and the one facing Pulp Citizen in a few weeks time.

(Or whichever Fantasy game you want to use them for) There an awesome price as well Stag riders are £5 Warbears £8 with various great deals for multiples as well as add ons for the heroes and infantry they have got made already go take a look!
I love the paintjob Simon and actually I prefer the blue to the orange. As for lovely catsuit lasses have you looked at Wargame Foundry's Street Violent range as there a few catsuit ladies there
ReplyDeleteThanks mate I did at first but really like the contrast now. Would make a good VBCW adversary I reckon as well.
DeleteI think you are right there a special agent for covert spy
DeleteSmokingly hot painting Simon, and I like both versions personally. She looks awesome. Thanks for the group shot. Well worth the wait imho and its clear just how very well you've consistently painted these minis. Terrific stuff and I'll wager they scare PulpCitizen every time you place them on the tabletop :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon. Yeah staying I did like blue but changed to orange now simply to match the other minions I have as pictured.
DeleteI love the figures man, I actually prefer the orange as it gives nice contrast to the main colour.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate yeah me to. My main painting discussion buddy preferred the blue until I showed him the group shot with the orange then he changed his mind lol.
DeleteShe's currently sitting in my lead pile...might move her closer to the top after seeing what a fantastic job you've done on her! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteIts an awesome model mate will go well with all your IHMN and lost worlds stuff as well I reckon
DeleteTerrific work on Satana, and the update to her works very well. :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the game in the next couple of weeks. :)
And the Penguin crew looks great too. :)
DeleteCheers dude yes me to :)
DeleteWhat a great sculpt, I to have her hidden amongst the lead mountain, time to move her to the top of the pile.
ReplyDeleteRegards

Cheers very much Stuart do it! I need to get some of the other from the series based up and ready to paint there really nice sculpts.
Deletelooks really fine, Simon, and so small, it must have been difficult to paint
ReplyDeleteThanks Dez. I think the fiddly bits really was the lining to the jacket and trousers but I didn't struggle like I thought
DeleteGreat painting, Simon. Orange... blue... either provides a nice bit of color.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Finch. Yeah I think they both were good just Orange suited my needs more so.
DeleteNice group shots, Simon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryan :)
DeleteTwo absolutely splendid collections Simon, great to see the Batman crew.
ReplyDeleteCheers Michael. I have just put them all in my new carry case and its nice to see it filled up but with a couple of spare slots :) I shall have to peruse the bat builder and see what slots I can fill up in my case.
DeleteLots to admire Simon! She's a lovely sculpt and both your colour schemes do her justice dude! I do like your Wild Ducks and your Penguin crew is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob! There will be more Soldiers incoming just waiting for Crooked Dice to release the Sterling armed troopers so I can order some!
DeleteI agree with others: the group shots are excellent. However, I do wonder if your search for perfection is getting in the way of playing games, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteThanks Hugh. Not really getting in the way at all as I have tons of ideas that get sparked off from the release off figures but never come to fruition. Besides this is just one cast choice from probably about 10-12 I can make out of my collection :D
DeleteThanks dude :)
ReplyDeleteLovely work as always, Simon. I like both versions.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Dean :)
DeleteMean looking model in blue.... great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks she would go well in your German force )
DeleteShe is awesome, great paint job
ReplyDeleteThanks Fella!
DeleteLooking good my friend. The wild ducks especially/
ReplyDeleteThanks they received a 'touch up' adding in eyes but I removed there rank insignia from a few of there breast pockets to fit in with the new theme.
DeleteI really like that Golgo miniature Simon!
ReplyDeleteWould go well with your Tiger tank :)
DeleteHola Amigo
ReplyDeleteGRANDES piezas nos as traÃdo,si señor
buena semana y buenos pinceles

ReplyDeleteRegardless of whether it's the blue or orange version ... both look fantastic to me Simon. Very very nicely done!
