Hydro-Man is an awesome sculpt and simply needs a session of dry-brushing as I slowly add more and more white to the mix before painting his black shirt and flesh etc.<br /><br />Very much looking forward to "the small package", so I'll try and paint up as much as I can within my painting queue over the next few days. My Medium Construct and four Aliens are just being based, and I'm concentrating on a "Frostgrave" Templar currently.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-71764290874454901302016-02-15T13:17:28.748-08:002016-02-15T13:17:28.748-08:00I did think of those Roger, as well as some of the...I did think of those Roger, as well as some of the "Pulp Figures" and "Copplestone Castings" I own.

But as they're not sold separately I gave up on the idea - my OCD meaning I can only use "North Star Military Figures" for "Frostgrave". having settled upon the blushing pad technique though I didn't think it too hard to paint. Although you're quite correct in that the Bond figures are far better, and hopefully I'll be able to do them justice.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-58634176567638138132016-02-15T10:00:03.590-08:002016-02-15T10:00:03.590-08:00Not my favourite "big cat" sculpt, he do...Not my favourite "big cat" sculpt, he does look overly cuddly imo and they are a pain to paint too.<br />The Bond figures are good, especially the man himself.Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-33776873192256695132016-02-15T07:24:47.660-08:002016-02-15T07:24:47.660-08:00I'm eagerly waiting for your big Green Cat Rog...I'm eagerly waiting for your big Green Cat Roger ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-28763524935459220772016-02-15T07:21:47.360-08:002016-02-15T07:21:47.360-08:00Cheers Roger.
