Heroes In A Half Shell

[jdeleonardis]

I loved TMNT as a kid, back before they made more kid friendly.  I thought I would give them a go (all red bandanas, prior to changing the colors so the kids knew which turtle was which!)  These came from the Greebo minis kickstarter, and were fun (but tough) to paint.




Thanks for looking!

Cool turtles with deadly weapons! What does Donatello have around his neck? String of garlic cloves?

String of garlic cloves?

Thats a good question.  I dont know what it is....so they got a 'bone' look.

[Pijlie]

They are balls of rice, wrapped in a twisted strip of cloth. Medieval Japanese soldiers often carried their rations like that.

And no, I have no idea how he can wrap a pizza into that.... 

[joekano]

Those are great!

[OSHIROmodels]

They'll be the Buddhist prayer beads won't they?

cheers

Tiger Hunter in The Water Margin used to wear a string of black balls around his neck.  They were about the same size as the ones on the figure

Bottom right

I saw these too late Jay, they are pretty cool figures. You've done an amazing job on them as well.

 I wish they had a webstore somewhere...

They do, but these guys are not on it.

Thank you very much for all of the kind words!

Looks like the black balls that Tiger Hunter has around his neck may be the winner!!!  Although, could be 'pizza balls' too

They look great! How do they scale with other lines?

Fine looking adolescent mutated shinobi heroes in a half shell

Thanks very much!  They are probably slightly smaller than 28mm?  Perfect in my opinion.  I dont have a picture, but they scale nicely with Crossover's ninjas.

I have these sitting unassembled on my desk. This is the push I need to get going with them. Lovely work
