Been a busy couple weeks, but I found time this weekend to add some paint to more of my Kickstarter minis from Sedition Wars by Mike McVey. These three are all homage sculpts to beloved sci-fi series and video game, cast in restic and so not even worth attempting to get mold lines off of. Paint jobs were all done quickly for a tabletop level in order to get them done and off the "Unpainted Mountain".
Went with colours that were closest to the pics I googled. Love that she has her iconic carbine holstered at her side. |
Next up is a nice simple sculpt to represent Caprica 6 from Battlestar Galactica. I think this is a pretty good representation of Trisha Helfer's character and she painted up quickly. Again, her facial detail was sadly a little soft but I feel she'll do. I previously painted her "tech-zombie" version a "little while ago" (5 1/2 years ago! O_o) which can be found HERE.
Platinum blonde and red dress, how could any hetro-male say no? |
Fantastic renditions of some very iconic characters from sci-fi Dai, shame about the soft sculpts
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave! Soft detail aside, they were all fun to paint and look decent from afar, so mission accomplished.
DeleteGreat looking trio, Dai! Glad you carved out some time at the workbench for these.
ReplyDeleteHappy you like them Jon. Was great to be able to find that time and I'm hoping for more painting opportunities in the near future.
DeleteI recognize 2 of the 3. Just the women. What does that say about me? 😀
ReplyDeleteNice job and happy to see some painting time for you.
That says you are a man with immaculate taste sir.
DeleteLovely work on them all. Studio McVey did some great sculpts I wish some were still available.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon! Yeah, even when they were still selling online, their stuff would sell out so fast, I missed on some really cool minis for sure.
DeleteGreat stuff Dai! You really captured the colours of Zoe's outfit, not an easy task with so many earth tones 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivor, am glad she works on your end too!
DeleteGood work on them Dai! I picked up Sedition wars at a swapmeet & recall hearing about the challenges of the material. Its unfortunate, & I have yet to get them to the paint table (so many other projects)I remember there was such excitement when first announced. Luckily there have been many improvements in soft plastic quality since.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry. Yeah, am glad that the industry has managed to improve on the restic rubbish since. Sad though that the game itself was kind of average at best rules-wise too. Saying that, at least I have a bunch of sci-fi minis that I can use for a bunch of cool rules sets.
DeleteGood looking trio of sci fi types, I only recognise the one in the red dress,I'm worse than Stew!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Ha! I think you'd like Firefly Iain, one of my fav sci-fi series.
DeleteThanks mate.
S'all good, Dai, keep it comin'
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, appreciate it
