“Tonight I dine on turtle soup!”
After starting the Foot Clan last week it was only a matter of time until the inevitable Shredder appeared on the streets of New York. I haven’t watched any TMNT cartoons since my childhood, but I remember Shredder very well as an always serious threat to the Turtles. He had fun scenes and never got…
Rise of the Foot Clan
I managed to paint a couple Kung Fu fighting, super secret and silent Ninjas over the weekend. Of course they had to be members of the Foot Clan, all time foes to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It seems like my TMNT collection is going to be a bit thrown together from all kinds of…
„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…
“The name’s Bond. James Bond”
The latest miniature is a true icon of the movies, nobody less than James Bond. It comes from Crooked Dice and I’m pretty sure it’s meant to be the icarnation with Sean Connery – you have to excuse me here, I’m really not a James Bond guy. I think the first Bond that I have…
New backdrops finished – New category “Behind the Scenes” opened
I’m happy to have finished some new backdrops for my pictures. As I’m interested in painting movie themed miniatures, I feel like they profit a lot from a suitable staging. The first pictures that I took were in front of a red brickwall. Of course, that becomes boring pretty soon (maybe it already is?), so…
„Are you the keymaster?“
Today‘s miniature is Dana Barrett/Sigourney Weaver from Ghostbusters as possessed by Zuul. The miniature is again from Crooked Dice and there‘s not much to say about the excellent quality. I‘m fine with my paintjob although the face didn‘t turn out as I wish it to be, but at least I can see progress. I thinned…
“Ugly little spud, isn’t he?”
Next Ghostbusters based model is Slimer. The miniature is again from Crooked Dice and comes with the set of the ‘Paranormal Exterminators’. It actually doesn’t come with a base, so I chose to take a flight-base from GW. Finding a suitable flight-base was harder than I expected. Painting the “ugly little spud” as Ray called…
Who you gonna call?
The Ghostbusters are definitely a thing from my childhood which never let go of me. When I happened to stumble across the “Paranormal Exterminators 1” by Crooked Dice, it happened to me. Crooked Dice distributes a lot of characters, which are based on the movies of the 70s and 80s. All (?) without license, therefore…
