About time I got around to these repaints of some heroclix figures I picked up some time ago. I have been a big fan of the Avengers since the early eighties and am only missing a few issues of the original series. Unfortunately the ones I am missing are the ones that cost the most. I black wash the prepainted heroclix figure. Then base coat the colour I intend on using and highlight up. Still takes me around an hour. They are based on a mix of pieces of slate (picked up off the road) and some filler. I was trying to get the impression hulk had just smashed into the ground from a jump. I painted the base while the undercoat was drying (I was impatient), effectively blending the colours I dry brushed on together. So first off the Incredible Hulk Then Iron Man in a latter armour, I would prefer an earlier armour but am prepared to wait until the price is right. Finally an old John Constantine figure (from Black Cat) with the hulk giving him some needed muscle (for scale).
A running commentary of what I get up to, get distracted by and generally end up not doing with my hobbies of wargaming, rpgs and anything else I find interesting. Key focus at the moment is Mordheim, DnD, Otherworld miniatures and rpgs. Any historical stuff (mainly colonial) I now post on a seperate blog.
