bloody hell mate put me right of my bangers
Too right, thats not pleasant on the eye. ( The painting is superb by the way, its just the subject matter and the angle of the photos.Its a bit in your face) lol
Where does your figure come from?
One last minor thing: I always thought that John Carter was dark haired, not blonde.
Itīs a miniature from Tinman I got from an American in exchange for some painting. His haircolour is artistic license by me. I already have so many dark haired figures and my wife likes the Irish/Shottish orangeheads.
He didnīt come alone:

Nice job, Michi. It's good to see a painted example of the Tinman Barsoomians.
You could always say that it's Ulysses Paxton and a couple of Lady Therns... ;)
For the squeamish, these figures do come in a semi-clothed variant as well.
does John Carter shave or wax? ;)
Why do the female characters have navels?
Because female navels are cute? ;)I guess. It is easier to cut the sculpter some slack, then it is to fill the navel in with milliput, or to fill in the old heritage navels.
I didnt think that the ERB books specified that the Martians did not have navels because they were born from eggs, but I could be wrong. I figure that there is a placenta of sorts (like a chicken egg yolk or something) in the eggs. Presumably the Martians connect to that during development.
As they are a species that can succesfully interbreed with homo sapiens, I am ok with cutting the sculptor some slack in the navel department ;)
Nice paint job. Anyone ever post up some comparison shots with Tinman and other pulp models, Artizan, etc.. to show how they scale up?
:o Good Lord, how has Hammers missed this thread? lol
Lovely paintwork - your flesh tones are superb, even if I'm not sure I like the figures themselves all that much :)

I shall haunt you with an old quote of yours: "A bit too much cock for my liking this early in the morning, couldn't you have waited until after lunch".

Hey, just one more time is there any chance of getting some scale comparison photos, being unsure of scale is really the only thing holding me back from ordering these.
Stunning paint work, wondeful, i must get those......Born from eggs but suckled and raised in the traditional fashion is the only way to explain all those beautiful "well endowed"..... book covers.
and the egg layer question well, its fantasy and thats it i love em...

Applying a straight razor to that region...... :-X
