Title: Pulp twist on a classic team... Updated
Post by: wolfen on July 21, 2014, 06:46:26 PM: I wasn't planning on posting these until I had the whole team complete but Marvel's announcement last week forced me to bump up my painting schedule. This will be a gender role reversed pulpish version of the Avengers. As of now these 2 are finished:

Dr. Valhelmine Thorstad aka Valkyrie

Nikolai Romanov aka The Widowmaker
(http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo203/foyt21/IMAG2737_1_zpsdsbxrywh.jpg)

Sorry for the fuzzy cell phone pics.

Background info for the team will come when the rest are done.

Post by: Wirelizard on July 22, 2014, 08:00:53 PM: Black-on-black with red accents looks awesome for the Phantom Ace figure. I have a primed and based PA on my painting bench, was vaguely considering a black leather paint scheme, and I think I'll be doing my own version of yours now!

Who makes the figure used for Miss Fury?

Post by: FramFramson on July 31, 2014, 06:59:11 AM: Looks like a Statuesque Mini (converted with a Thompson) to me.
Title: Re: Pulp twist on a classic team... Updated
Post by: wolfen on July 31, 2014, 07:15:10 AM: Tis indeed from Statuesque, as is the head (from the veterans upgrade) and the Thompson (retro weapons upgrade).
