Title: Prof's Travels (upd. 10/04, p.3) - Zum Hexenwald (At Witch Forest)
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on April 20, 2015, 08:02:57 PM
Directly from the first LPL round, some Bob Murch Melanesians lead by Volcano Queen herself and damsels in distress! The unlucky fellow in the pot is from Westwind.

Title: Prof's Travels (upd. 29/05 - Jungle Hideaway)
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on May 29, 2015, 04:19:35 PM
Just some further Pulp adventurers today, from another Lead Painters League entry. Only five of the figures are newly painted, the rest has been painted on several occasions in the recent years. But I had much fun putting together a classical adventurous scene for this one.

(http://www.backofbeyond.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/pulp_jungle_hideaway.jpg)

If you’ll find some little white spots on the miniatures in the shots below , so you have to know it’s not a light effect or my new painting style but the rest of the matt varnish, I didn’t found reparing them. Yes, I had a varnish accident again. I think I’m going to stop varnishing in the future, as my figures are mainly for display purposes. All that matt varnish thing is going to be too nerve-racking for my taste :-(

This special one is of course my favorit, an amazing interpretaton of Corto Maltese Rasputin, made by Mark Copplestone himself:

(http://www.backofbeyond.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/corto_maltese_rasputin.jpg)

Corto Maltese (Foundry), also made by Copplestone,  may not fail in this scene too:

(http://www.backofbeyond.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/corto_maltese.jpg)

The famous Casablanca Rick (Artizan Designs). He most suffered from varnish attack..

(http://www.backofbeyond.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/casablanca_rick.jpg)

A guy from the secret police (Blotsky, by Pulp Figures):

(http://www.backofbeyond.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Blotsky_Chief_of_Secret_Police.jpg)

A britisch advisor, Georges, made by Artizan again:

(http://www.backofbeyond.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/georges_british_advisor.jpg)

And finally  a family portrait!

Each of your set-ups really has a pulpy feel. While I think my favourite may be the Melanesian set you started with (Tikis and Oceanic anything are a real passion), they all look absolutely superb. I may have missed this earlier in the thread, but do you game with them, and if so, what rules do you use?

Todd, the chap in the cauldron is indeed from Westwind. I believe he is in the witches pack from the Gothic Horror line.

Title: Prof's Travels (upd. 10/04, p.4) - Zum Hexenwald (At Witch Forest)
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on April 10, 2016, 11:10:23 AM
Last week at LPL I’ve decided to go with some pulpish stuff and created a scene with kinda military accent. I’ve used a wild mix of figures from different manufacturers like Copplestone, Great War Miniatures, Eureka, Pulp Figures, Lead Adventure Miniatures, Artizan and Westwind. One of the figures I even couldn’t identify (the guy with monocle, wearing blue uniform). As the name of the scene already told you, it’s placed somewhere in Germany, btw. there is no really a Hexenwald (Witch Forest) as far as I know. Some German officers are meeting with some military advisors and talking about some secret plans for whatever.

I think the figure with the Monocle might be a RAFM? Possibly Space 1889?

Hi,

Amazing stuff!!!

One small (dumb) question though. Do you use washers or coins as base? The thing is I've been wondering how you glue your models to their bases? Just plain old superglue or putty or something? And for basing, just white glue?

Sorry for the little of topic question.

Greetings,

Zeebeest

I use both, coins and washes, depending on the size of the model and I take wood glue to glue the models on their bases.
