Jan painting challenge - fin...

I taking pics of the last two minis today. So here they are. Both are being used for Pulp City though both are not official Pulp Monsters models. Androida mk.II is a Reaper Chronoscope mini. My original Androida broke off at the ankles and is irreparable, and I had been looking for an excuse to pick this mini up so it became my new Androida.

Lady Cyburn is from Mad Puppet miniatures. The official Pulp City lady Cyburn model did absolutely nothing for me, I thought this great mini fit the background of the character pretty well. She has had a hand swap to remove her lead pipe in favour of being unarmed.

So that's it! Challenge successful and my whole Heavy Metal is done!

More progress! Finished Sgt. Bale in a good time frame so I have added in the other three minis to the challenge. Managed to get Nuclear Jones Jones done already.

Also took some better pics of Chronin and Cap Hadron. I also chucked some photos of C.O.R.E in there as he was lying around. Not part of the challenge and painted AGES ago but yeah...

New Year painting challenge part duex

I am making good progress on the painting challenge, I think I am beating Deansy From the Internet™ (you can check out his progress here)by a fair margin now! Over the last few days I have managed to finish all the Hardons and Chronin. Well I still need to finish a bottle on Giant Hadron's base but it is close. Bale should get finished off tomorrow if all goes according to plan. I based Chronin's colour scheme on the Kyoshi Warriors for Avatar: The Last Airbender as they were my favourite character design from the series. Please excuse the shoddy photography, my camera struggled with inadequate lighting, hopefully tomorrow will yield some better natural light and I will try to get some better pics.

Due to my good progress I have decided that if I finish Bale tomorrow, than I am going to extend my mini quota to include the last three Heavy Metal Supremes I have that need painting, Nuclear Jones, Lady Cyburn and a new version of Androida. Cyburn is a proxy from Mad Puppet miniatures and my new Androida is from Reaper (my official Adroida broke off at the ankles, and I really like this Reaper scuplt so it is an excuse to use it!)

So hopefully by the 20th I will have another pic of my Heavy Metal team finished!

New Year painting challenge!

Inspired by a post over on Pulp Citizen's blog, I decided to start a painting challenge with my pal Deansy From the Internet™, in the interest of getting some long overdue painting done. We are starting small, and have picked four figures each that we have to complete by the 20th. Some of my choices are partially painted, so it is a bit of cheek! I should be able to manage getting some colour on these guys though. I have chosen to get Sgt. Bale, Chronin, Mini Hadron, Captain Hadron and Giant Hadron from Pulp City all finished up, which will hopefully motivate me to get some more of my growing Pulp City collection all done. Here is how they are looking right now.

Sgt. Bale is base coated, his hands have also been replaced with clear flames from a heroclix Silver Surfer figure. I never liked the way he was awkwardly holding his gun, and think this makes for a much more dynamic figure.

Chronin is more or less just primed, with her face painted. Though I think I have decided to re-do the face in favour of something a bit more exciting than a normal skintone.

And the Hadrons! All the Hadrons have had their crests removed, as I wasn't too keen on it. Giant Hadron is actually pretty close to being done, just some more blending on his gauntlets really, and some detritus on his base to make it a bit more exciting and really show the scale of the beast. Mini Hadron is also very close to being done, with perhaps just another highlight pass to get a bit more contrast. Regular Hadron is basically base-coated, though shouldn't take long!
