Title: Some Santa pics
Post by: zemjw on December 11, 2011, 08:06:19 PM
I have just finished some Santa Claus figures, so given that it's nearly that time of year again, I thought I'd share/inflict them on you  :D

The first one was painted a few years ago - Foundry Santa

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-WPpsLjVE_aI/TtvLFVADueI/AAAAAAAAA3g/LuTQ3UeRukA/s576/b47_TradSantaFront.jpg)

The others have just been finished

Foundry Plague Santa
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-9F_DMDhYHfs/TtvLDfs1X5I/AAAAAAAAA3I/5goM_dptgwA/s576/b47_PlagueSantaFront.jpg)

Foundry Skeleton Santa

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ne6xBug8nPI/TuUE5G1JxAI/AAAAAAAAA38/W_vl_6AaDQM/s720/b48_SkelSanta1.jpg)

The next two are older sculpts. I would say they're rare, but every time I think that, I get proved wrong :-[. Anyway, hopefully they're new to someone  :)

Citadel Dwarf Santa

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3-y9kGGilFM/TuUE4B3JPHI/AAAAAAAAA34/uUiDGsVlq80/s640/b48_DwarfSanta1.jpg)

Citadel Space Santa

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Ar1551--U9E/TtvLCcFcVBI/AAAAAAAAA24/SNxxT2Wxzps/s576/b47_SpaceSanta1.jpg)

There are a few more pictures from different angles over on my blog at Santa Claus 1 (http://zemjw.blogspot.com/2011/12/santa-claus-1.html) and Santa Claus 2 (http://zemjw.blogspot.com/2011/12/santa-claus-2.html)

So, does anyone else have any Christmas figure pictures they'd like to share - it doesn't have to just be Santa...

Oh, but there are loads more.  Alionas Miniaturen alone makes 3 different Santas which haven't appeared here (at least, not yet), ranging from a traditional St Nicholas to a fully Coca-Cola Santa; Foundry has at least one more; there's a Copplestone Castings one.  Artizan did a pulp Santa in a flying helmet.  Both Amazon Miniatures and Wargames Supply Dump used to have entire ranges of "Christmas Wars" minis.  And there must be others I don't know about.

That many could make up  a bloodbowl team  :)

A pulp Santa would be great, but Artizan don't seem to do it anymore  :'(

Reaper do a mouseling Santa set, which I have, but haven't painted yet. Next year...

Steve F - nice Santa figure next to the Foundry one. Who makes him?

Given the attire (or lack of it) of the North Pole workshop girls, it looks like global warming may really be having an impact in the Arctic  :D

Thanks Steve  :)

I hadn't seen the Masquerade figures before, but have now added a couple to my "to buy in 2012" list  :)

For future reference, I've just found that Victory Force does a Santa with a machine gun and numerous armed Xmas elfs:

Where are these from, please? Santa can always use some diversion to keep the oppositions attention away  ;)

Ooh, Lord: I posted those pictures 5 years ago.  I remember that the Orc in a dressing gown was a conversion, using a Gorkamorka head and body.  As for the girls and the goblin Santa ... I'll have to get back to you if I can find my index.

OK,  no worries - I'll get by without them, if need be.  :)

Thanks.  That one I can remember: both figures are from an RAFM set.

Not exactly seasonal, any more, but I found my index!  They are Christmas Vixens nos 1 and 2, limited edition models from a company called New Wave, painted in December 2001.
