Was hoping to if been posting up some new miniatures that arrived from Kitbash Games kickstarter but unfortunately my Army Painter Spray primer left them all with a terrible texture to the surface so having to strip the whole batch.
Instead od doing nothing I have grabbed a few figures that were primed using my humbrol primer lingering in the paint pile. I've been playing Fortnite lately on the PS4 and got inspired to painted a diver as its very water orientated this season. So selected one of my Joes who I planned to use as Torpedo. I kind of of kept the original colours but paid homage to one of my fave skins the Tactical Jonesy by adding in some light blue camo to the scheme.

Torpedo with Recondo, Shipwreck and Tunnel Rat.
Great work on Torpedo Simon, shame about the spray can, but unfortunately happens on occasions
ReplyDeleteCheers Dave. Yeah just really annoying when I was excited to paint them
DeleteGreat stuff Simon! That's a brilliant pose and the fins on the base are great touch 😀
ReplyDeleteCheers Ivor! Yeah I couldn't see an obvious place on the model so the base seemed there best place.
DeleteBeautiful work Simon!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal!
DeleteNice work Simon.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Ray!
DeleteGreat stuff Simon a great addition.
ReplyDeleteCheers

Thanks Stuart!
DeleteThat's a very cool paint job Simon, love it.
ReplyDeleteCheers Michael! It's a lovely mini love the stealthy pose.
DeleteFits the bill very well I think. Nicely done Simon.
ReplyDeleteCheers Dai! I have a couple more naval themed Joe's coming up and the scheme makes it a bit more different.
DeleteTop notch work, Simon. Great attention to detail on a wonderfully-posed mini.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much mate!
DeleteGreat looking Seaman! :)
ReplyDeleteCheers dude!
DeleteLovely work Simon, did the flippers come on the base or did you need to sculpt them?
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry. No the mini came with them but I didn't want to stick them to the mini itself so put them on the base instead.
DeleteGreat looking frogman, Simon!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Dean!
DeleteThe touches of blue work really better than I could have expected, nice work! Hope you can solve the priming issue with those other minis!
ReplyDeleteCheers Suber! Nearly there with those just got to scrub the last few that have sat in dettol.
DeleteSorry to hear about the priming issues, but at least Torpedo came out really well ... amazing how just a simple gradation of light blue on the scuba eye-gear and the camo can bring out the neutral grays and make them 'pop'.
ReplyDeleteAll my childhood heroes grouped together. Nice work as always!
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking of "The Life Aquatic" when I look at your diver, nice :-)
