My Feeble Attempts at Teutonic Efficiency
« on: February 02, 2007, 06:52:36 PM »
Got a call midweek saying we'd be playing "Gangs of Mega-City One" tonight, which came a little out of the blue. Having only painted three of the eleven members of my "Pimps and Hookers" themed gang I was in a bit of a bind. I didn't want to field unpainted figures (I hate that. Hate it!) so was forced to call on the power of my Germanic ancestors.

So I speed-painted 8 of these 11 over the last 48 hours:


Left-to-right we have Yo-Yo, Lay-Jo, LaTavia, Tapeeka, King George (Big Boss), Foxy Shabazz (Lieutenant), Sho'Nuff, Go-Go, Bouncee, Kellandra and Moesha.

Sorry the photo is a bit rubbish, but did that in a hurry, too. I can paint better than this, but not in the time. I'm pretty pleased, actually. I've never faced such a tight deadline before and met it.

Not much to shout about for a German, but it's pretty good going for a lazy, feckless Brit.

Grrrr. Badly-sized.

I forgot about that side bar on the left of the page. Apologies to those of you with Horizontal-Scroll sensitivity.

I like 'em Poly. You definitely did much better than I could have. In fact, Cold Wars is six weeks away and I've already started buying painted miniatures because I know I won't finish what I need.

Excellent idea for a street gang! Have you got a suitably pimped ride to go with them? :lol:
 For the timescale mentioned you've done an awesome job!!!!

Excellent theme, great names, and good and horrible colors. I particularly like Sho'Nuff.

Not a bad job for a Welshman.

Well no. But I'm part Anglo-Saxon, and the Anglo-Saxons are after all, only a type of dislocated or misplaced German.

A lazy and feckless type of German, but still a German.

Yes, i was such one, too. Didn't paint anything. Then, 13 years ago, i went to Germany and since then have painted some thousands of minis.

Nice work. I know where to pick up a suitable stretch Lincoln if you need one. Just a coupla $$ at KayBee, white too!
