Wow! Excellent painting - the Pliskin model I recognise, but where's the nun from? Is it a conversion? If it is a conversion, what's the base model, and how did you go about making it? It's fantastic!

Edit - just checked out your website (excellent stuff!) and answered my own question - she's a conversion from a Foundry SWAT model - and an excellent one at that! Any info on how you went about it would still be appreciated, though!

The Sister of Mercy is indeed from the Foundry's Street Violence. It is not a conversion, but I do believe that it was a LTD ED miniature. The basing is my standard urban debris, cut up sprues and gutter gravel. Tried and true quick basing.

The sister is great.  I love what I assume is a holy water bottle on her belt.

Wow... Snake is outstanding, the greys really pop, it looks almost photo-realistic at first glance. I'd love to get that figure, is it still available?

Every time I see that HF Cobra I feel an almost over powering urge to buy him!!

Super fantastic work on the paint job!! Looks like one of those high prices wax figures of celebrities.

You thought he'd be taller?  He gets a lot of that.   lol
Hasslefree mini, so smaller "28mm"  http://hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/pack.php?pack=1860

Thanks for the info on the nun - I'll scour the Foundry website to see if she's still available.

Once again, a lovely job on both of these - beatiful shading/highlighting, and the skin tones are spot on.

Love the painting  :)

What would it cost to get hold of one of those nuns these days?

If anyone has one they would like to part with (!) PM me.

Thanks all.

The Foundry Sister was purchased years ago and throw in the hoard only to culled recently to be painted up. The Sister has a lot of character to her with all of her tricks of the trade belted on, including the bottle of holy H2O. lol

Snake is great miniature, but comes in 4 pieces. It is best to paint the face before assembling the miniature. I little tricky for me, since I usually paint up single cast miniatures. Snake is well worth the effort though. This HF is a little beefier that some of the other HF miniatures I quick pic below.

Your "standard urban debris" basing technique really does a great job of binding together a bunch of different manufacturers into a cohesive group. 

Hey, I'm wearing that right-most guy's Docs at this very moment!   :D

That Plissken figure is really great work. The sculpting is first class, though your paintjob gives him that final touch to make him look like Kurt Russell. Superb!
