Another figure i've always admired is one of the stalwart companions from Pulp Figures. There are a couple I have always liked just never got around to grabbing the full sets. I spotted a few on ebay selling singles so grabbed this Scottish and the Tibetan guide looking ones.
This was my first attempt at doing the tartan following a method I found online for doing the Burrows Highlanders. I know where I went wrong though. So repainted it the base colours but left it at the third stage where I was most happy with it.
This was the first go which just got messy quickly. I guess from a distance it probably would look ok.
Went back over and just stopped at this stage and much happier with it..
Fantastic work on the Tartan Simon, really adds another level to the figure
ReplyDeleteCheers Dave. It such a tricky pattern and to the eye from a distance it does the job well.
DeleteSuch a good miniature and the tartan is awesome, well worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. I have a few more Pulp Figures in the queue to do at some point. They are such nice sculpts and paint up so well.
DeleteGreat work. The tartan looks spot on.
ReplyDeleteCheers MBG I am quite please with him.
DeleteGreat looking figure and tartan work, Simon.
ReplyDeleteThink the tartan cane out great Simon! I’d have given up way before and am a bit nervous to try it out on my kilted Burrows minis in all honesty
ReplyDeleteCheers Dai! Same here I have quite a few highland beasts and have only done the sparrow so far.
DeleteGreat work Simon, he reminds me of the Mike Myers character Fat $astard.
ReplyDeleteLOL Cheers Ray. I will have to look that one up!
DeleteFantastic work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal!
DeleteOh, impressive chap! Really nice, I like the vibe the whole mini instils, the paintjob is ace!
ReplyDeleteCheers Suber the Pulp figures are really nice sculpts to paint.
DeleteLooks great ... a "flapping kilt over a hot vent ala Marilyn Monroe" version would've been more interesting but this looks good too :)
ReplyDeleteLMAO erm no! I am not googling it either :D
DeleteCheers buddy!
The tartan looks great
ReplyDeleteThanks very much mate!
DeleteTartan is the bane of many wargamers (I have problems without having patterns on clothing!), so well done getting a very good representation - I do like the figure too.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on a great mini.
ReplyDeleteLooks great Simon.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly passes the test for me, most of the time we are 6ft away so no one see's the painters hidden flaws:-)
I think we are all holding out for that tartan paint....
Cheers
Stu
Nice work Simon - the tartan has come out rather well. :)
ReplyDeleteGood work on the tartan Simon! I take it this is a variant of the Fat Bastard character? Now that would be an interesting crew for your 7TV. Dr Evil & crew
ReplyDeleteThe tartan looks great Simon well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat work - and just to add my voice to the chorus on the tartan - great work! :)
