Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors - Oon added
« on: July 05, 2020, 03:08:30 PM »
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors is another 1980's animated series, chronicling the titular character's struggle to save the universe from the Monster Minds. The heroes are humans called the Lightning League who drive white and silver vehicles with assorted weaponry and are led by the teenager Jayce. The villains are organic plant-based creatures called the Monster Minds, who travel via large green organic vines, which can grow in and across interstellar space, and sprout seeds that grow rapidly into further Monster Minds. They are led by the very first of the Monster Minds, Saw Boss, who was inadvertently created by Jayce's father, the scientist Audric. The secret to defeating the Monster Minds lies in a magic root, of which Jayce and Audric each possess one half.

Starting off with the titular Jayce:

I remember the show and especially the toy line.  I'm looking forward to living vicariously through your project.

It's going to be a slow burn, but I eventually hope to be able to do all the main characters and vehicles. :)

Yes, the bad guys are essential. Saw Boss will be up first.

Oon is an Eternal Squire, created by Squiresmith Wixland. The best description of him is probably an enchanted suit of armour, come to life. He refers to his weapon as a magical lance, though what exactly it is supposed to do is unclear. Always seeming afraid, he finds his courage when it's needed. Oon originally served Audric, but has since been appointed to follow Jayce.



Another limited release from a private commission, Oon stands about 18mm tall, not counting the tip of the lance. The base is a 25mm lipped base blank from Fenris Games, which I textured to match Jayce's base. Some small roots are writhing on the base to refer to the arrival (or the defeat) of the Monster Minds. Being rather diminutive, this was a bit of a challenge to paint, but he's one of the most memorable characters of my childhood.





Jayce and Oon, together at last:

The sculpt is perfect. But so tiny for my eyes.  ::)
