Title: Mr. Big and the Purple Gang
Post by: Doomsdave on 13 January 2010, 12:42:29 AM: This is the start of my roaring 20's game. Mr Big is supposed to be out of scale...Because he's Mr. Big. He's a repainted Heroclix "Kingpin". The gals are Copplestone's Gun Molls. I wanted Mr. big to have an all-girl gang. Let me know what you think. As always my pics are crappy.

He's #2 in the set and is common as dirt. (I think I have 2-3 extra here)

What he said. Thats a really cool gang.

As already mentioned, your purples are great. I tend to struggle with purple personally.

Post by: Doomhippie on 16 January 2010, 10:44:56 AM: I can only agree. Nice painting! The models all have their own individual appeal. And I love the repainted Kingpin. Hm, I have one flying around somewhere. The idea of an all girl gang with a sugar daddy is wonderful. Reminds me of the Mansons...

Post by: der teufel on 26 March 2013, 11:13:54 PM: Very nice, as I have all of these figures (inc) Mr Big I may be stealing this idea ;)

Post by: Mason on 26 March 2013, 11:28:49 PM: Very crisp and clean and even!
:-*

Great looking gang and I like the idea of the ladies looking after him.
Who wouldnt?

I have that Kingpin somewhere and I may have to find him now......

Start with your basic purple. To do the shading lighten the base colour using a very pale bone colour. White will work with the red pigment within the purple and will tend towards pink. Light Bone won't do this. It will just lighten the purple nicely.

Post by: Johnny Aces on 29 March 2013, 03:45:36 PM: Love the Kingpin repaint. I've seen alot of him and that sculpt looks great when redone. The purple jacket makes him feel just "pimpish" enough as well. Amusingly, I saw a guy wearing a very similar jacket in person the other day.
