"A foot. Get it..?" |
"A constant threat hanging over the Survivors' heads", the boardgame piece was primed using a mixture of "Vallejo" Surface Primer Leather Brown and Heavy Skintone, before being completely plastered in (pure) Heavy Skintone. It was then drowned in "Citadel" Reikland Fleshshade, and thoroughly dry-brushed with (more) "Vallejo" Heavy Skintone.
"The robot protects Sheeta from the army and destroys the fortress with its weapons." |
Alongside the Foot, I have also finished a third 28mm scale Laputian Robot Trooper crafted by "Big Mr Tong" and downloaded for free as part of a five-figure set of STL (Standard Triangle Language) files from his "Patreon" subscription service. Based upon the giant mechanical bodyguards depicted in Hayao Miyazaki's 1986 Japanese animated fantasy adventure film "Laputa: Castle in the Sky", the miniature was produced using "Elegoo" Water Washable Resin on a Mars 3 Pro 3D Printer.
"CoolMiniOrNot" WIPs - The Spanish Inquisition have been primed "Vallejo" Heavy Red |
Lastly, I have started priming the three members of the Spanish Inquisition also found inside the Monty Python’s Flying Circus boxed set. Heavily based upon the likenesses of actors Michael Palin, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam, this "dastardly" trio should provide something of a welcome contrast to the predominantly black-coloured quartet of Silly Walkers I've recently started working on...
I'm looking forward to seeing the Monty Python figures finished!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. I think the minis have a lot of uses outside of Zombicide too - such as 7TV. Hopefully, I'll have the first of the Silly Walkers done soon.
DeleteLove the Spanish Inquisition, are these STLs of the Victoria Miniatures originals ?
ReplyDeleteCheers Els On. The Spanish Inquisition figures are sculpted by Big Child Miniatures and as far as I'm aware are only in this Monty Python Zombicide expansion set.
DeleteOh cool, nice to see another set out there, these look to be better sculpts of Palin and co.
DeleteThey definitely look nice to paint - lots of detail which hopefully a quick shade and dry-brush will pick out. Looking forward to getting these painted.
DeleteGreat work on the foot and robot Simon, you seem to be getting your mojo back.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. The mojo is still a bit lacking tbh. But it's certainly a lot better than where it has been over the past month or so.
DeleteLovely looking stuff sir!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal. It's good to get some paint on some finished figures - no matter how straightforward to paint they are.
DeleteWell, that foot is brilliant. Great skin tone and the overall paint job is just fantastic. Really good job. Another great robot too.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition! Although, after the silly walkers, I suspect I should have! Lol. What an unusual and, quite mad, set of minis you are working on.
Thanks Undercoat. I'm really pleased with the Foot - though I still wish it had a different finished to its top than the bone sticking out. Lots more mad Monty Python bits to come I assure you, LOL!!
