Hot Lead Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Here's some pics of my Harley Quinn model "Why so serious?" which won gold in Painters at Reapercon this year. She's a "free" give away from a UK magazine by Eaglemoss publishing. They publish titles for both Marvel and DC Comics superheroes - each magazine has a history of the character and includes a prepaint lead miniature. (Yes lead! These are heavy.) I'm guessing the scale is 75-90mm. The minis are a deal at ~$14-16 per magazine! For reference here's what the stock prepaint looks like: The cast-on base is a resin DC Comics logo I broke off on mine with my trusty Xuron cutters. The feet had lead tabs I sawed off and pinned instead. The base is a print out of the Joker card glued to a playing card and hand-painted. The pop-gun cork was real cork - cut and sanded to shape before inking. The "fuse" for the bomb is a braided electric wire unwound a little and dipped into super glue to thicken the tips of the wires. Bomb itself is just a wooden bead with plastic tube for the top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errex Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 This looks really great. I like the highlights on her torax and the overall presentation is really outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Lead Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Really nice! I have this piece too. I might have to try the conversion as well :) Thanks! She was a lot of fun to paint up. If you decide to convert note the lead is really soft. I tried to move her hand to better position the bomb and broke it off. I pinned it back in the stock position.
