Lizard with a Laser-gun!
I seem to be doing pretty well lately with painting figures. This is a mini I picked up at Adepticon, he's from Badger Games and is called "Slee'Zan with Rifle VIII". Personally, I think he could do double duty as both a Tarellian in Inquisimunda and an alien bad guy in Doctor Who!

I based the color scheme on a real-world reptile, the European Green Lizard. The basic green bodywork was laid down using an airbrush with a mixture of Vallejo Livery Green and GW Goblin Green. It's blue front torso is GW Ice Blue.

Completed Minis: 'The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly' vignette
Here's a vignette I did as a gift from The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly.
This is a kit available from Andrea Miniatures. The actual base was much too small and didn't include the open grave, so I re-mounted the entire thing and made the base from scratch. Other than the base, the only other non-kit item that I switched out was the noose. The cast metal noose wasn't very crisp, had a few injection pin marks that obscured the detail, and wasn't long enough. I made a new longer noose from 24 gauge wire. Other than that, this was an excellent kit and I did a review of it for my blog.
The colors here were difficult to get precisely right as the movie stills and multiple versions of the film itself all have slight variations in color. The only easy colors were Blondie's blue chambray shirt, his dark-washed jeans, and the leather gunbelts.

54mm Napoleonic Officer
And now for something completely different...


Here's a 1:32 scale plastic Historex Napoleonic Officer I built and painted as a gift for my grandfather.
This is actually the 2nd Napoleonic figure I've made by Historex and I'm actually really glad I don't have to build another again! It was a lot of work sanding, gap-filling, and reworking much of the braiding from wire to make this kit look even half-way decent. My advice if you're interested in larger-scale figures like this is to spend the extra money and buy metal. The detailing is much more crisp, you won't have to spend a lot of time reworking joints/gaps, and they are just plain more fun to build!
