Title: Reaper classic monsters
Post by: tbroadwater on 07 February 2008, 02:58:48 PM
Finally got a chance to get back to some painting after take a break for a few months ( I did build and paint scenery but do not count that LOL)

These guys were quick and easy to paint up, I wish they were a bit more serious in there design, but they are fun nonetheless...

Nice work! The early Reaper stuff was pretty vanilla, especially when you see the kinds of poses and characters they pull off today. But they're classic minis and you did a great job with them!

Love the creature, great skin tones :love:  I like the paint job on the other figures, but am not a fan of the figures. I don't like the classic Vampire in a cape and dinner jacket look very much anymore.

No, me neither, it makes me think of Grampa in the Munsters & ruins the horror effect. :lol:

The Gary Oldman look with those cool shades is much more my thing!

Anyone fancy using Charles Hawtrey as an avatar?

Malamute, your avatar is mutating with disturbing regularity! Are you feeling ok?  :?:

Lovely work on those models - I must admit I'm a fan of the old dinner jacket, although the 'new look' is grand too. Can't help liking old Bela Lugosi.  8)

thanks for the compliments guys...I do admit though I am a sucker for Beli Lugosi though or any of the Unviversal Monster films I watched as a kid.

Nosferatu is still no, 1 with me though, when it comes to vampires!

Again I have to refer the right honourable gentlemen to the wonders that are Heresy Miniatures:

With alternative dracul top hat and below with nosferatu pointy ears!

A low powered vampire indeed! What tosh!

I have one! Well, actually the deal with Vampire in both it's forms, as it was cheaper  :lol:

I was trying for ages to decide whether to use Mr Top-hat or Mr Pointy-ears, but the final results are in & the Hat has it by a whisker! I'm sure Pointy-ears will come in very useful as a conversion component, once I find a suitable body.

Just need to paint them now.........

Fantastic paint job on the Reaper's - great opponents for the Hasslefree Not-Scooby Gang IMHO.
