Both are excellent Black Scorpion people from their Wild West range. The chap is clearly a smith, and is a really nice, characterful sculpt. The lady had very large bows on the front of her dress, which I removed. She doesn't have an obvious profession, but she could be a doctor or the local schoolmistress (or she might just be holding two six-shooters behind her back).
I also started this vehicle. To an extent, it's an attempt to use up some old parts that weren't doing very much. The body and driver come from a Tau Piranha, the wheels were from Ramshackle, and I've no idea who made the tracks. They came off an odd little steampunk tank that I must have bought a decade ago.
I'm not sure if this will be a vehicle from the Genestealer Cult, or just a civilian off-road thing. If the latter, I'll probably paint it red: if it's from the cult, it will end up a nice shade of blue. All suggestions appreciated!
You did a great job on the paint jobs Toby. With those empty white eyes I think that woman's profession has to be a zombie or a witch :P
ReplyDeleteRe the vehicle, you can't go past titillating pink for vehicle colour schemes. Its a fact :D
Seriously, I always look for inspiration online when I can't come up with my own colour scheme. Google images is my friend for this task. Looking at Chris Foss illo's and other 80's cartoons and B-Grade movies. There's a whole world of garish colour schemes out there, just waiting to be used and abused again :)
Cheers.
Thanks, it did occur to me that she looked like a robot from Westworld who'd run out of batteries!
ReplyDeleteGood call on Chris Foss. I didn't know he did the covers for all the Asimov books I used to read. I think the stripes he did on everything could work well here. Suitably garish!
Great blending work on the flesh for the blacksmith Toby
ReplyDeleteThanks! I always find faces pretty difficult!
