Xmas Gift

Had this one done for a few weeks now - an Xmas present to my mom

Tigra

Another super hero.  This one, modeled on the rarely seen 'Tigra' from the Marvel universe.

Astronauts

I picked these up from the GZG table as 'freebies' a few years ago at Salute, and they just looked fun to paint

Sci Fi guys on Mars

Tried a slightly different paint technique here.  The results were decent, but I need some more practice.  If nothing else, I learned a few new tricks.

Female Super Archer

Kind of a quickie I threw together.  Not sure what to name her - any thoughts?

Blue Hornet?  Blue Lady?  Blue Balls?

MI-8 Hip Assault Gunship

Iraqi helicopter, circa Iran-Iraq war, and also first Gulf War, 1991.

Also, a new paint style?  Ive been wanting to take my painting to 'the next level', and ive hit a wall.  This latest figure is WIP of my first attempt at using James Wappel's 'Shaded Basecoat' technique.  I like the results, but I need some more practice.

Arrrrgh! Lady pirate!

This is a new Reaper figure.

The Dark Knight

The Caped Crusader.  Batman.

Sadly, my pictures didnt turn out that well - the bright lights I use totally washed out the dark greys I used to highlight Bruce Wayne.  Oh well - this one looks spectacular in person.  You will have to come to my house to see it!

Heroes In A Half Shell

I was onboard with the TMNT long before they became a 'kiddie movie'.  I loved the comics back in the late 80s, when it was mostly black and white, they killed, and they all wore red bandanas (before they had to dumb it down with the different colors for the kids).  These were challenging models - difficult colors for me, and lots and lots of detail on each figure.

Near Future spec forces

Yes, still in the mountains and deserts on the other side of the world....

From Pig Iron

Damsel #4. But in distress????

Wanted to try out a new camo I thought of.  Think it turned out pretty well.

For whatever reason, her face came out smooth like a china doll - just perfect (even though its hard to tell from the picture)!  Wish I could figure out what I did!!!!

Damsel #3

My least favorite damsel.  I probably wouldnt bother trying to rescue her :)

Damsels in distress #2

Second 'offering' of a damsel.  This young lady looks like she should be on the train tracks...hah, this picture is terrible.  She really doesnt look like a tranny to the eye.  Oh well

Damsels in distress #1

Over the next few days, I hope to complete several (4?) damsels in varying stages of distress.  Today, #1, a stand in for Naomi Watts, Fay Wray, or Jessica Lange!

Lets get some nat-zis!

Brad Pitt sez

Nazi ain't got no humanity. They're the foot soldiers of a Jew-hatin', mass murderin' maniac and they need to be dee-stroyed. That's why any and every every son of a bitch we find wearin' a Nazi uniform, they're gonna die.

Finally finished up the rest of the gestapo

This one has a crazy eye.  Doesnt look so crazy to my eye, but oh well

 My best swastika of the group

 All arrayed, and ready to ferret out the fuhrer's enemies

Summore Nazis

Here are 4 more Gestapo agents and guards.  Got one more set of 4 to do, and then I will be done with this group.  Once again, my pics dont do justice - they bring out every little mistake that the human eye doesnt notice.  Ok - enough whining.  Here are the pics.

More Gestapo

I put some officers up the other day.

Today, Gestapo grunts
