"Some wear full plate armour and wield a raw plucked chicken." |
Able to cross "any distance necessary" to give a fumbling Survivor "a good character-building whack over the head" with his raw chicken, the miniature was undercoated using a mixture of "Vallejo" Surface Primer Black and "Warlord Games" Pitch Black, before being layered with "Vallejo" Gunmetal. He was then drenched in "Citadel" Nuln Oil, and subsequently dry-brushed with (more) "Vallejo" Gunmetal.
"CoolMiniOrNot" WIPs - Daredevil now just needs some odd details to be 'picked out' |
Finally, I got to work on the plucked chicken using a couple of coats of "Vallejo" Heavy Warm Grey. The dead bird was then sploshed with plenty of "Citadel" Reikland Fleshshade, dry-brushed with (more) "Vallejo" Heavy Warm Grey, and toned down a little via a splodge of watered-down "Citadel" Reikland Fleshshade. As a last touch, I also carefully traced out the poor poultry's sewn up eyes with some lines of "Citadel" Abaddon Black.
"Crooked Dice Game Design Studio" WIPs - Professor Krazvo is being painted from the feet up |
In addition, I've started applying the final touches to Professor Krazvo by "Crooked Dice Game Design Studio". The scientist is actually a villain according to the "7TV" ruleset. However, I plan to use him as Doctor Hans Zarkov for my "Flash Gordon" project, and have resultantly tried to utilise a palette more akin to the costumes worn by actor Frank Shannon during the science fiction franchise's 1936 cinematic serial...
Great looking progress sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal. Good to get a mini finished so soon into the month, after the disappointing output of the last couple.
DeleteGreat work on the knight with chicken Simon, DD is progressing well, as is your Zarkov, surprised you didn't go for the colours from the 80's movie, as you could then use him for either side ! LOL
ReplyDeleteCheers Dave. DD's already finished - as it was such a great figure to paint. I wanted to steer clear of red - as so many Flash Gordon costumes are that colour - especially in the movie. Plus, I grew up on the b&w serials - so when I saw what colour Zarkov was apparently wearing for them I thought it was ideal.
DeleteThat knight is very well done (unlike the chicken which is raw!). actually there is a lot of very nice stuff in this post, not least Dr Hans Zarkov.
ReplyDeleteCheers Roger.
Thanks Roger. I do like the Monty Python Zombicide stuff. It's a lot of fun to paint. Both DD and Dr Zarkov are now finished, so don't be surprised to see them posted up next week.
DeleteThose zombicide Monty Python minis are, quite frankly, nuts! That being said I love your paint job on the knight. Dare Devil looks excellent as does the Dr Zarkov type fellow. Both lovely looking sculpts.
ReplyDeleteCheers Undercoat. I'm hoping to squeeze in a few more Zombicide figures this month if I can - though the Marvel United stuff is definitely capturing most of my attention currently.
