Pulp Figures Companion



 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..

  5. Think 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

  8. Looks great ... a "flapping kilt over a hot vent ala Marilyn Monroe" version would've been more interesting but this looks good too :)

  9. Tartan 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.

  10. Looks great Simon.
    It 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

  12. Good 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
