„Wait a minute Doc, uh, are you telling me you built a time machine… out of a DeLorean?“
There it is, one of the most awesome cars in the history of movies: The time traveling DeLorean. I was absolutely in love with this car when I was a kid, I liked it even more than the Ecto or K.I.T.T. No question my two heroes from Back to the Future needed a decent car.…
„Roads… Where we‘re going we don‘t need roads!“
Doc Brown formed the way I thought about scientists when I was a kid. I wondered how many scientists might be out there that were such crazy geniuses just like him – although even as a kid I knew deep in my heart that no one of those would ever build a time machine. Also…
“Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one!”
Finally I came to paint Mr. Marty McFly himself. Do I have to tell that Back to the Future I&II are one of my favorite movies of all time? The first movie is great enough to easily stand for itself, but in combination with the second one it get’s even better in retrospect. I never…
“Men fear most what they cannot see.”
After painting R’as al Ghul last week I continued with his League of Shadows. I like the poses of the miniatures as they really look like being in a fight, while R’as himself just stands upright like the leader commanding his troops. Again there have been a lot of mold lines and gaps. In general…
“If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal and if they can’t stop you, you become something else entirely – legend, Mr Wayne.”
As it is #batmanday I wanted to paint something at least related to the Dark Knight – maybe a villain? I started painting miniatures from the Nolan trilogy a couple of weeks ago and wanted to continue there. Therefore I picked Henry Ducard aka Ra’s Al Ghul from Batman Begins. The miniature is from Knight…
“KAMEHAMEHA!”
When I was in Spain a couple of weeks ago I found this awesome Son Goku miniature. Doing some research afterwards I found out that there is a small but vivid community of sculptors and fans who produce very nice Dragonball miniatures on commission base. Right now there seem to be some officially licenced games…
“I don’t remember seeing any legs, but it definitely had arms, because it reached out for me!”
I wanted to add a “classic” ghost miniature to my Ghostbusters collection. Although that one doesn’t look at all like the ghost from the Ghostbusters library scene, I chose this one because she looks like a classic haunting ghost. Nothing special and only loosely related to the movie, but I like it/her. The miniature is…
“Zuuuuul”
Latest painted miniatures are two terrordogs from Ghostbusters. Their appearance in the movie brought it to a new level of scare when I watched it the first time. Until then the movie was funny, but then things got really serious for our heroes. No question I needed miniatures and I was superexcited when I found…
“To crush your enemies…”
“Conan, what is best in life?”“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!” Arnie was one of my childhood heroes, although I saw his best movies not before I was maybe 15 or 16 years old. First I was not interested in Conan at all, I…
The rules: 1. Do not let it get wet.
2. Do not expose it to direct sunlight. 3. Do not feed it after midnight. Who doesn‘t remember those rules from one‘s childhood? I already knew about Gremlins far before I saw the movie because everybody was talking about Gizmo and the evil versions. When I finally watched it, I … … oh shit, now…
