Another Painting Contest Down - Main Man Fred

 Hello all,

Jumping on my recent success with February’s painting contest with Red Dragon, I thought I’d keep up the momentum and try this ‘thing’ out again. For the most part, I think entry requirements were pretty much the same: purchase a 3D printed piece from their catalogue or (this time) purchase a certain amount of warhammer stuff and you’re good to go.

For this go, I ended up choosing a great looking bust of Freddy Krueger…not only did it look great, but my wife was a big Elm Street fan, so that helped the decision. It also gave a great excuse to rewatch the original Nightmare for the requisite research.

I’m happy to say the research and efforts paid off and I walked away with a win for Fred and an awesome Turbodork paintset for my efforts. I hope you enjoy the pics (I had to take a buttload for the contest).

Cyberpunk Monster Fight Club style...

Hello Everyone,

  

I hope all is well out there...over the course of last years lockdown I discovered a few new creators and distribution points for miniatures. One of those that were new to me was Monster Fight Club. Since then I have seen some references to kickstarter and thanks to their newsletter I am seeing their latest updates as they go live and to their store.

Inspired by a post I saw on a reddit group, I went over and saw some of the Cyberpunk range that Monster Fight Club has. Liking what I saw and very reminiscent of the original Blade Runner, I picked out a 'Deckard' looking figure that comes with a body suitable enough to look cyborgy for him to loom over if you want to make a diorama of it all...I also grabbed another blister to rationalize the shipping.

Happy to say that these characters made it onto the work bench and offered me a chance to try some different techniques on basing. Specifically, solely painting on street-worn sidewalk and texturing. The figures themselves looked outstanding and were very clean . They painted up nicely and I was able to do a nice homage to Deckard in a pseudo-CSI theme...or given the blue gloves, '2 by 2 hands of blue'...for any browncoats out there...

Anyway, I hope you like the figures, enjoy the pics...and be careful out there <<cue Hill Street Blues music>>

Post-Apoc Terrain

 Howdy folks,

 

Not that long ago I was fortunate to receive an award at work...hooray...and along with the recognition came a gift card for online shopping. So, armed with said card I bought a few items for myself and the missus...and with a little left over I decided to buy some 3D printed terrain pieces. I ended up going with War World Gaming and their boggy, industrial waste, post-apocalypty cess pools of radioactive goo from hell. Having seen a few examples of pools and such in some YouTube battle reports, I thought they would be perfect for any Fallout or Zona Alfa work.

 

They painted up quite nicely and were a great little distraction from my painting contest focus. Anyhow, not much else to add to this one...take care all, and I hope you enjoy the pics.

Cheers
