I'd hoped to have my Action Hero finished for this weekend's posting but I couldn't make up my mind what colour to wash part of him with. So I ended up finishing off a different figure instead. I've paint this mini once before. Its Lionel henchmen and bodyguard to Lancelot Cray the Chairman of United Radionics.
I painted the blister set before but I really like the mini of Lionel and so have 3 copies of him lol.
Theres just something about this pose that I really just like. So this time I went for a blonde fella for the 2nd version. Who knows what I will do with the 3rd copy maybe a head swap will be required.

Found a decent pic of version 1
Nicely done Simon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil.
DeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteWhat a great figure
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed I think its the bodyguard drawing the concealed pistol I like about it most
DeleteExcellent paint job, Simon!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool paint job - I love the hair colour!
ReplyDeleteIf its one of the Crooked Dice figures you picked up from Colonel Bills, they all used to belong to me. Another failed project. Haha :)
Thanks we'll they have gone to a good home. :)
DeleteDisconcertingly different Simon :-) But suitably so as I was rather thrown by the 'Scorby baddie version' being used as the illustration on the Bodyguard Bruiser Heroic Extra card for "7TV" 2nd Edition.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon. Yeah I thought that at first to. But it fits as a bodyguard character type pose wise. Its like the second detective pack with the character aiming hos pistol is the other bodyguard card. I usually have several copies of these sorts anyway most my conversions are based on the KGB men from the Copplestone range.
DeleteThat's great. Version one looks just like one of my pals. Super.
ReplyDeleteLol cheers. Do I need to add a disclaimer based on no real person or persons at the bottom ;)
DeleteAnother excellent mini mate. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks dude :)
DeleteFabulous, quite a transformation from the original. Just goes to show how versatile the sculpt is.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed it does! thanks Michael.
DeleteNow you have a Swedish henchman as well! He looks great in either version.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed great idea!
DeleteVery cool, Simon. The two versions look completely different. I do like the guy with the goatee next to the Jag.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Dean. I can't wait for the weather to pick up. Hopefully it will dry out my shelf I usually take my pics on.
DeleteVersion 1 looks a little like Hans Gruber from Die Hard.
ReplyDeleteLol yes he does I had thought that as well. Dual purposes and all that :)
DeleteLovely looking models!
ReplyDeleteThanks fella.
DeleteHola Amigo
ReplyDeleteBuen trabajo si señor
Buena la foto de familia
un saludo
Greetings J.D and thanks yes they make a good family :)
DeleteLovely work Simon!
ReplyDeleteCheers Fran :)
DeleteYes what they said. A great job Simon. :)
ReplyDeleteTa very much fella :)
Deletewell done, Simon
ReplyDeleteThanks Dezzie :)
DeleteAnother excellent apintjob, done in the Brummie style
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe. What is this Brummie style you speak of? :)
DeleteSomething about a turtleneck sweater screams quiet danger to me.
ReplyDeleteBlonde on this fellow is a good choice.
Great job mate, both versions look great. Just got my 7TV package yesterday so I'll have to get it on the table soon :)
