And more Fall Painting...

Just have really had the urge to paint lately, so I'm taking advantage of the feeling.  Nothing earth shattering, but I just feel these are solid paint jobs, and better yet, they shrink my unpainted pile-o-minis!!

Some have been 'almost done' for some time, but for every new mini I'm painting, I'm trying to finish up a partially painted one as well.

First up, Alpha Forge Horror line.  This ones a survivor farmer with a shovel, so I made a base to represent him hiding out in the cornfield!  (THE PICS ARE ARE CLICKABLE to make them bigger!)


The cornstalks are made from paperclips and some paper.

Here's a Sci Fi guy I decided to do.  This one is an Urban Mammoth mini...




Next, I wanted to try a 'monochrome' mini, using very limited colors.  I'm going for a 'they are standing in the moonlight' look here...I'm not sure if I achieved it, as it is rather boring.  If you look close, you'll notice the vampires eyes are red. (you may have to just imagine that....lol)..


Here is that SLITHER lady I was working on.  Not really happy with it at all, but I plodding through and finished it.  It's much too cartoony looking....I like the gore on the base.



Here's another Sci-Fi mini...This one was sculpted by Jim Bowen, and is the first in a whole group of these I have.  Kinda boring, but I like the 'moodiness'.


But, wait there is more!!

Spinespur puts out some bizarre minis, and this one is no execption...A pig mask wearing butcher dude...Freaky!



Last, but certainly not least, is my favorite from the bunch.  The finished APE squad member from the Incursion Game.  He is 'Slugger Murphy'.  Now with 'decal' attached!!



Hopefully these paint moods will continue!  I've got so much more stuff to go!

More Spinespur


Well, here is that sicko clown I was referring to....with leather thong and honkable nose...I sculpted some hair on him to give him a more bozo-esque look. I kinda like the look of the Whiskey bottle, but my favorite touch is the smiley face knee pads...The right one got a little homage to the Watchmen.

Sounds like GENCON is a go, for sure. I've got the time off work and I have booked a room. I was mentioning this all to my brother, Mike, and he sounded rather interested. So I suggested he come along, which he agreed. I wasn't relishing the idea of going alone, but now with him tagging along, I'm pretty stoked about the whole thing.

Not sure what I will work on next. Maybe just take a break for a while.

Something other than Alpha Forge

Don't get me wrong, I really dig Alpha Forge minis, but I felt like painting something different for a change. I had just picked up a bunch of these SPINESPUR miniatures recently. They are a bit demented (chainsaw wielding maniac, clown faced thong wearing brutalists, but it makes for fun painting.

Here is HACK, the first I have painted up.

I placed him on a base made by King and Kerr.
A UK based company that makes some pretty cool resin scenery. The pic is clickable to make it bigger. I also have a Pig mask wearing butcher and the above mention Clown Sadist that I am working on. Like I said, demented stuff.

Also, I plan on attending GENCON
Which, from what I understand is the countries biggest 'gaming' convention. The folks from WYRD Minatures and Alpha Forge, among many others, should be there, so it will be nice to put faces to online pseudonyms.
