I
rummaged around in my box of Reaper Bones figures from the Bones II
kickstarter. Lots of useful figs and a couple less so.
One
of the ones I thought I would never paint looked suitable for an alternative career,
that of a statue.
This
is Sir Conlan, Crusader Sergeant
sculpted by Bobby Jackson. A true hero of the recent (or not so recent) wars
and therefore worthy of a statue.
The
‘plinth’ is from a bottle of floating soap. A good find that really got me started on for this little project.
Painted with Vallejo Iraqui Sand, a wash of Army Painter Strong Tone ink and drybrushed with Iraqui Sand and Pale Sand.
Looks good!

DeleteAll in all a 30 minute-job and the plastics-mountain got a little bit smaller. Actually not much of a change at all...
Excellent!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gordon
DeleteI'm going for another dive into the plastics mountain to locate more victims of the medusa :-)
You can't have to many statues
Simple, but effective. Really though, you just want to keep us in suspense about your harbour game, don't you!
ReplyDeleteyep :-)
DeleteHaven't written the AAR yet, though. It will come next week. Promise
Nice work Joakim, statues are things that can have many use's & while I've done some in the pasted on buildings I've never gotten around to doing any free standing one's.
ReplyDeleteThanks Frank
DeleteStatues are good to have as clutter in your games and they are dead easy to make. What's not to lika about them :-)
nice work
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil
DeleteVery nice result from very simple techniques. Great stuff :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tamsin!
DeleteEverything that lowers the peak of the plasticsmountain in a short time is a good thing. That miniature was really a very good statue candidate.
A great idea and looks great - you've got me thinking now.
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
