Heading into the Jungle (vignette)

To change from fantasy, I wanted to do a quick paint of a Chronoscope mini in Bones. According to the store, it is "Frank Buck, Adventurer".

I like the sculpt and its likeness to a very famous archaeologist / adventurer in the movies.

 

My goal was a quick & simple paint job and nothing fancy for the base.
The problem was that the mini was badly bent at the ankles making it lean forward a lot and no boiling/cooling was able to fix it.
So, I still had to re-base it, and got a bit carried away in the re-basing process which yield to this mini vignette: "Heading into the Jungle"

The tree and base texture was made with Scupley and lichen.
The car is a Tamiya model kit of a Russian field car.

Love it! Pulpy and tropical.

It goes without saying that at least one Soviet agent got punched out and/or seduced during that vehicle's acquisition. :poke: 

Wonder what he's looking for?

Ah, I see you didn't want to work on an elaborate base and kept it simple!

 

Great job!

Love the setting!

      02909, Nienna the elf ranger
      By Metalchaos
      Hello everyone, here are pictures of 02909, Nienna the elf ranger sculpted by Werner Klocke. I use that model in our still postponed D&D sessions. She's an half-elf named Vadariah. She had to flee her native village with her mother when it was attacked by Orcs. During their adventures, she became a very versatile young woman. She began her journey as a ranger and later became interested in stealthiness and sorcery. So, she's now a multi-class character; 3rd level ranger, 3rd level lightbringer rogue and 2nd level sorceress. Her familiar is a hawk, flying somewhere in the blue. I hope you'll enjoy.

      Another print from Artisan Guild.
       
      Aline the Bold.
      I printed her, created a base for her using the Greenstuffworld Small Cobblestone one and a twig from the Garden Centre.
      She will also get a bow on her back.
       
      Primed..

      Speed paint job that I did as part of my 4th of July Paint Binge this year.  I was vaguely going for crazy Rutger Hauer from Blade Runner, with the white hair.

      Blackstar corsairs and bulldogs
      By Brianuk
      I have now completed a squad of these minis. I just really like the style of the power armour for each type of soldier. Nearly all the parts are Reaper and come on the sprues for the actual minis. However I did head swap the alien chap, taking a head from a space soldier from Bones 4. And the older gentleman ("everything on this damn Battlefield beeps...") has a head from Victrix Limited, who make ancient and dark age figures. 
      Paint scheme was ultra simple, a primer layer with Vallejo Early Green, a wash with GW camoshade, and black templar contrast paint for the guns. Scale 75 Viking Gold for the visors. I am playing around with free hand, for the numbers and decoration, am not very good at it but can always paint the areas white again.

      Ivy and Violet - IMEF bulldog and blackstar Corsair
      By Brianuk
      I haven't painted a scifi mini for about 20 years, with the exception of the Zombicide Invaders game.
      I really liked the look of the Bulldog and Corsair power armour from Chronoscope, and because I can't help myself did both of them as female conversions.
      I did an ultra simple scheme for the armour (Vallejo "Earth Green - early") and then a GW camo shade wash. The heads are from Statuesque miniatures. The Bulldog pilot has Scale 75 African shadow as a base coat, highlighted up with Scale 75 Iroko (yellow/cream) and a final highlight of just Iroko. The textured base for the Bulldog is wall paper. 
      There is going to be a Scifi version of Frostgrave in the new year and am probably angling for that.
