Title: Snake Plissken, I thought you were dead.
Post by: Michka on 22 February 2012, 04:17:58 PM

Here we have a Hasslefree Cobra painted up as my favorite escaped convict, Snake Plissken. Finally photographed after months of waiting for a nice day.

As I type this looking at my unpainted assortment of Hasslefree minis including Cobra, I can safely say I hate you so much.

 :)

Really nice, especially the camo, I've always had horrific trouble painting camo.

I'm really glad they didn't include the ridiculously long and thin (and useless) scope on that SMG!

 lol lol lol the scope is actually mounted to the silencer!!! That is too funny...

Your figure looks GREAT...I agree that the camo on the pants is top notch!

Cheers,

Blue

Thanks for all the nice comments. I know what you mean Viper. This miniature sat on the lead mountain for way too long before I finally decided to tackle those camo pants.

I've recently painted mine too, but not as snake, though I think your paintjob is better especially the camo.

Great figure, great painting.
Like many others, I have him somewhere in my lead pile.

I met Dan who sculpted this model the other day. He showed me some of his WIP and other figures. He is a very good sculptor!

Presumably he sculpted another not-Snake (the Studio Miniatures one, perhaps?).  This one is a Kev White.
