Fine painting.  My skills aren't there yet, but I am inspired to keep going by following you.  Nice work!

Regular campaign play for our TNT campaign, Springtime in the Wastelands, has ended.  All that's left to do is play a final game between the top 4 players to determine the campaign's overall winner.  It will be a 4-way, king-of-the-hill scenario with the players converging on, of all things, a flying saucer.  Crazy, huh?  Well it gets crazier...  The flying saucer was piloted to Earth by villains from Earth's past.


Over the centuries, Cyborg Hitler has plied alien science and dark sorcery to snatch away earth's most despicable despots in the minutes before their deaths, leaving in their place the corpses of vat grown duplicates. Once back at his secret base on the dark side of the moon, Cyborg Hitler and his lunar Nazi minions performed dark rites and upon each newly retrieved despot, which included an infusion of essence from inter-dimensional beings.  For most, the process rejuvenated their aged bodies and imbued them with superhuman vitality and a lifespan of many centuries.  For others, the biological changes were much more radical.

Prior to the Great Fall, Cyborg Hitler and his despots regularly traveled to Earth in order to root for the New England Patriots, play golf, and sow chaos among earth's many nations.  After the Great Fall, they had to make do with the marginally less despicable pastime of hunting wastelanders for sport -the weak and defenseless are their favorite prey. 

During this last "hunting" expedition to Earth, their flying saucer malfunctioned and they were forced to land in post-apocalypse Seattle. At first, they were giddy as school girls to tour the blasted ruins of this once proud bastion of multiculturalism and liberalism, but their glee soon turned to horror when they realized that the Emerald City's current residents are well armed and in no mood for their shit!



Below are the first 5 despots that I've painted for the final scenario.  Cyborg Hitler, Mao, and Stalin are made by Cobblestone Casting.  I believe that the model that I used for Stalin is supposed to be Mussolini or a generic Bond villain.  I transformed the model into Stalin by adding the cap,and using GS to sculpt a mustache and hair.  You can't see it from this angle, but he's holding a ray gun pistol behind his back.

Kim and Putin are sold by Brigade Games Miniatures. 




The Putin model was roughly the same height as other man-sized models.  The real Putin is only 5'6", so to 'cut the model down to size' I snipped off his boots, removed the top of each boot, and then reattached the feet to the bottom of the model's trouser legs.  Putin's left hand is pointing, so it was a simple conversion to put a pistol in it.  I could have rotated the hand, but I decided to leave it as is.  Putin is shootin' gangsta-style.




The flying saucer, which is partially assembled and not yet painted, is sold by Pegasus Hobbies.  There are some pretty cool Nazi flying saucer model kits out there, but they were either too large or too expensive for my purpose.  The Pegasus saucer hit that sweet spot for both size and cost.

Here's the last two despots, Mega Nixon and Putin's Pet.



Nixon is a limited edition model made by Valiant Miniatures. 

Private Bone Spur is another Brigade Games mini. It was originally armed with a Lucille bat, but I feel the model unworthy, so I re-equiped it.
