Dr Boom 2833 Report post Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Rounding off the last of the circus related reaper minis I recently bought is the Circus Ringmaster. A nice clean mini to paint and I'm happy with the extra time spent on the NMM for the megaphone. Doesn't equate to anyone in my Extinction Curse campaign directly, however when you're on a circus roll . . . As a bonus, something that does turn up in The Show Must Go On is the Mechanical Carny. There is nothing even remotely like this in anyone's catalogues that I know about (not even Wyrd), so I tried a scratchbuild. The following was made from a dollhouse wooden bowl, a pair of wooden shields, a pair of space marine arms, spare clown hands from Bonzo and Zonkers, the end of a polearm of some sort, part of the engine from a 1:35 scale WW2 BMW motorcycle, a washer, some plastic rod, a grass tuft from a GW LOTR cavalry figure and some unidentifiable part from the bits box. Couldn't quite model the extendable boxing glove hands in the adventure art. The aim was to have him look slap-dash, hastily cobbled together and badly maintained.

Rigel 10107 Report post Posted December 31, 2020 Great work on the Ringmaster, and I agree the carny is spectacular! I love the engine-hair especially. Recognize some of Bonzo and Zonkers' alternate hand options, too. I don't know about the boxing glove itself, but the scissor-extender arm could perhaps be made with granny grating cut diagonally... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krassling 15 Report post Posted January 3 I did not know there is a line of Circus related Minis. I like this guy and the clean look with strong colours you gave him. The megaphone is especially remarkable. The blending is not so smooth but I like this style with visible brushstrokes even more. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
