54mm Phoenix models (mostly naked) completed
« on: 26 October 2020, 07:39:45 AM »
Phoenix's Atlantis range was one of the things that started me down the miniatures/fantasy/rpg rabbit hole in the late 70s. I've always wanted to paint a set and never really got around to it. Until now!
These are going to be Gods and Goddesses for my standard 28mm miniatures. I plan to develop a fantasy pantheon around them when I've painted everything.
Here are the first ones.

 It is a great range of miniatures.I only have one from it.The bad guy sitting on Throne.
 
 Nice to see these painted up.Not often that you do.

Nicely done. I am sure I have a few tucked away from waaaaay back.
I don't think they are in goddess type poses though.

yes - always thought they were the most amazing sculpts, pneumatic boobs et al, from the MM adverts ... I wonder who the sculptor was?

out frazetta-d Frazetta ! (particularly 'encounter in the swamp', which I see from your 'site you're unlikely to add to the collection ... and no bolgs?  :D )

lovely paint jobs.

I once picked up the one with the sword in a job lot of minis.

Well! Now I know where she's from!  lol


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.

I'm going to use these as gods in 28mm games, mostly RPGs.

I might get more of the range later, but I think I'm done for now.

Presumably one where you dump your car keys into a glass bowl.  ;)

Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

I'd like to see your paint on some, they'd be spectacular.
