First were three 28mm figures from Artizan Design - their 'Pinkerton Detective I' set. These are the first Old West figures I've painted and (like all Artizan's) proved to be a joy to work on.
Born killer? |
I see the dude in the blue suit as The Boss - it seems to me he could be quite at home as a rancher, saloon-owner or hired gun. The other two certainly have a professional killer vibe about them.
In contrast to the Artizans, the figures I chose for the Casualties Bonus Round were of inferior quality. These resin casts were the Dead Men's Hand 'Lawmen Casualties'.
I should have been able to tell from the shop photo... |
In the end I went with the seated figure for the bonus round (the other two will be submitted later).
He came out much better than I expected, and I think looks much better alone. As I said in my submission, I think there's some pathos in the character that ties in with the idea of him being left to die alone on the range...
Awesome gunfighters! Your Pinkertons' physiques suggests work more in the line of mall security.
ReplyDeletePinkertons or Marshall Stockburn and his Deputies?
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the casualty. He definitely works best on his own.
Making the miner dance? Well, I did watch Pale Rider before painting them! But as Jonathan says, they're not lean and mean enough.
DeleteSome pretty fancy paintin' there, Tex!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the quality of your casualty cast, your paint job has given him a considerable lift. And the Pinkertons are excellent, they look ready to do the bidding of the nearest robber baron!
Very very nice paintwork!
ReplyDeleteInferior casting or not you still breathed some live into that seated chap, albeit briefly!
ReplyDeleteExcellent paintjob and beautiful poses, love these figures!
