discussion Nighttime nasties....in 28mm

[Tim Marlow]

Hi all
These are some more Mantic models plastic guys.....four Ghouls and three Zombies. First time I’ve painted non human flesh, found it quite hard really as I had to go back to basics.....
They are stood on a gaming terrain piece made from blue foam and balsa....It’s more caricature than modelling....



Notice the real rarity...a left handed figure! Never seen one before so that was how he has to be built...

Nice dynamic poses I thought......




They were fun to paint.......sleep tight now, no nightmares LOL....

They look like the average local resident to me Tim, so no nightmares. Fantastic work.

Thanks Peter, I suppose it does look a little like chucking out time in Winter...

Oh if only I had one tenth of your ability with a paint brush!

They all look great, but I particularly like the last ones, which I take to be the zombies.

I take my hat off to you sir, as someone who really struggles with any sort of figure painting it's nice to see how it should be done!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks Dave, it’s all smoke and mirrors really.....glad you like them though....

 

[Tim Marlow]

Hi Steve, yes they the Zs.... They were really fun, but honestly not that hard...

Sez 'e!! If it's all smoke and mirrors Tim, where can I buy them from?

They are the same set the I got the earlier Skellies from...28mm plastics with some assembly required.
If you want smoke and mirrors...can’t help you Sundance....

Oh poop! It was the smoke and mirrors I was after!

A couple of those are a bit gruesome Tim. Very nicely painted though!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks Andy, I didn’t sculpt ‘em, just added paint LOL....

Cracking work Tim, as it has alread been said if I had your painting skills :sad-face:.
Pete.

Stunning figures as always Tim. I am intrigued by the base. Is it part of a larger building? A castle perhaps? Looking forward to seeing more of your work soon.
