Wow! Excellent painting - the Pliskin model I recognise, but where's the nun from? Is it a conversion? If it is a conversion, what's the base model, and how did you go about making it? It's fantastic!

Edit - just checked out your website (excellent stuff!) and answered my own question - she's a conversion from a Foundry SWAT model - and an excellent one at that! Any info on how you went about it would still be appreciated, though!

The Sister of Mercy is indeed from the Foundry's Street Violence. It is not a conversion, but I do believe that it was a LTD ED miniature. The basing is my standard urban debris, cut up sprues and gutter gravel. Tried and true quick basing.

The sister is great.  I love what I assume is a holy water bottle on her belt.

Wow... Snake is outstanding, the greys really pop, it looks almost photo-realistic at first glance. I'd love to get that figure, is it still available?

Every time I see that HF Cobra I feel an almost over powering urge to buy him!!

Super fantastic work on the paint job!! Looks like one of those high prices wax figures of celebrities.

Thanks for the info on the nun - I'll scour the Foundry website to see if she's still available.

Once again, a lovely job on both of these - beatiful shading/highlighting, and the skin tones are spot on.
