Elastolin Indian 6808 (Copy)

Another figure that I gave a new colorful live. I have tried to give him the same colors in the Elastolin catalogue. This is again a far west copy made in the far east! As always painted with acrylic colors. I hope you like him.

This is how he looked unpainted. Big difference don't you think?

A closer look.

Star Wars Boba Fett

With this figure I came out of my comfort zone. It's my first science fiction figure I ever painted. The figure is a 3D printed figure and it is 54 mm high (scale 1/32). There were some edges that were not easy to reach for painting but I think I had the most parts covered.

The figure is a gift for my youngest son who collects all figures of Boba Fett he can get. It was ment to be a Christmas gift but I couldn't finish the figure in time. But finaly I managed to get it done. And here you can see the result.

I hope you like him!

Airfix WW2 US Infantry

First post of the year, so I wish everyone a very good and healthy year. And lots of modelling fun of course! 

These Airfix figures are produced in 2009-2016 (http://www.airfix132.de/hornby_2009.html) and are made of hard plastic and not in soft plastic like the older ones. After a good wash I painted them with acrylic paints. Seven poses, but there seems to be another officer pose. I made a base for the figure with the bazooka with a plastic sheet.

I hope you like them and so I'm started in this year. Here is the box art and pictures of the unpainted figures.

Hong Kong Cowboy

Just a single figure I painted in between other figures. It is a Hong Kong copy but I don't know from what brand. He looks a bit as the Airfix one but he is different. Scale is 1/32 and is painted with acrylic paints.

I hope you like him.

Esci Set 238 Muslim Warriors

I painted some of these figures in the past in red and white. Now I wanted to paint them in black and blue to get some variation in the troops. For those who want to know, the figures are painted black and then get a drybrush with grey paint. You can add different layers of drybrush with every next time a lighter grey to get more depth. Figures are original Esci in scale 1/72. Painted with acrylic paints.

I hope you like them!

Elastolin Cowboy 6985 (Copy)

Here is a copy of an Elastolin Cowboy that I painted. The figure reminds me on Gary Cooper in the movie "High Noon". The Elastolin figures were figures I could only see behind glass in the toyshop when I was young. They were much to expensive for one figure, and I don't know what people pay for this kind of figures this day, but I don't think it has changed.

Anyhow it was fun painting this figure. The figure is a bit bigger as 54 mm but not that much that wouldn't go together with my other 54 mm figures. And as Always painted with acrylic paint. I hope you like him. 

Here you can see the original figure in a picture of a catalogue. I have some more of these figures, copies of course, and one day I will paint them.

Some posters of the movies that I used for my inspiration. Wiki page High Noon. 

And of course I couldn't resist to make a black and white picture!

LOTR Gothmog

Someone said it was Orctober so here is my contribution. Now and then I find it a pleasure to paint a figure of this range (Games Workshop). And this one was lying around here for some time. He is 28 mm high and is painted with acrylic paints. I hope you like him.

More info over this character you can find here:  https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Gothmog_(Lieutenant_of_Morgul)

And here is how he looked unpainted:
