Three More Yokels

 A quick post as - very gradually - I chip into the mountain of unpainted stuff (probably just prior to buying some more). Here are a few more citizens of Blognia.




The man on the left is an old man with a dog. He's from Black Scorpion's Wild West line, although I think he could be a farmer from pretty much any time at all. I really like the model, especially the dog (even if it does look a bit worried). He was very difficult to photograph, and looks much better in the flesh.

The lady in the middle is a hedge wizard, wearing traditional Blognian dress. Actually, she's an apprentice from Frostgrave. She is reading out a spell from her book - I managed to paint a small star in the book, but it's probably impossible to see.

The taller woman on the right is... well, she's a pirate, from Black Scorpion. I think she's meant not to be wearing any trousers, but that looked utterly ridiculous, so now she's got some britches. While I really like the sculpting of Black Scorpion models, they often seem to have a very slightly rough texture, that might be to do with the way that they're cast (this is pure speculation). 


That's it for this week. I'm very slowly chipping away at some cars for Dark Future/Gaslands, but more of that later. I'll save those up for one big post.

  1. They all look great. Cool job! I love Black Scorpion ranges, but have never actually purchased from them. Are they as good in hand as they look?

    1. Overall, they're really nice models with lots of good detail. They're resin, which might not be the most fun material to work with. There's also the slight roughness to the finish of some of the sculpts, but I don't think that's a big problem. Definitely worth buying a few and seeing if you like them.
