Masters of the Universe: Battlegrounds (Feb. 25: Catra)

[Vanvlak]

The lava scenery is superb too, the dark grey and bright orange/yellow contrast is grand 

[Malebolgia]

Thanks guys!

Bloody lovely stuff.
I have the entire range, but it had been collecting dust since I was focussen to get another project finished in time for an event.
I did got distracted by a "quick" painting of the scenery from the starter box.
Took me way longer than planned off course, but I really enjoyed the process.
Now I have He-man and the tradeshow He-man and Battlecat on my table.

Can't wait to see your paintjobs on them! Maybe He-Man at the next Poldercon...?

Cheers! I did went back to them after airbrushing because I thought the contrast was too low. So I added a good black wash to all stone parts and I think the contrast is a lot better this way. So it's great to read your comment, because that is exactly what I aimed for!

Wahooooo! That terrain is just awesome. Very atmospheric and nice contrasts.  I love it!

[Malebolgia]

Cheers man!

[Golgotha]

Terrain looks fantastic very atmospheric I would imagine it would be hard to paint up and make look this good without an airbrush.

[Malebolgia]

Thanks!! And yeah...can't imagine doing this or enjoying painting it without an airbrush...

[Malebolgia]

Next up...the Master of Odors...Stinkor!




Love the idea behind Stinkor and the model is very cool too. He was a lot of fun to paint and went rather fast. Like with Man-At-Arms I used fluorescent paints to up the vibrancy on the orange and I like how he turned out.

And I also did some of the scenery that came with the expansions: the Gas Cannister, the Teleporters and a big crater.

[Vanvlak]

Great job with the eyes and fur in particular, this is my favourite so far 

[DivisMal]

Oh my God! He’s awesome!

Stinkor: He stinks and destroys!

[The Voivod]

Looks groovy.
Maybe I need to look into those fluorescent colours.
I'm really looking forward to the Hord expansion.
Curious how they play and the Hord trooper was a figure I always wanted, but never owned, as a kid.

[FramFramson]

Phew!

Cheers! I really wanted to paint this guy, because the whole concept is so silly. And he did not disappoint!

Oh my God! He’s awesome!

Stinkor: He stinks and destroys!

Thanks man! And hopefully his smelly powers work cool too in the game.

Thanks! Fluos are excellent if you want to give your colours extra oomph. For oranges, reds, blues, yellows, greens and magentas they are fantastic. And it works well to get that bright toy-like look.
And I saw a preview pic of the Horde yesterday in Archon's live chat...looks gorgeous!

Phew!

Pass the Deodorant!

And the next one is finished! It is...

Man-E-Faces
That outfit! The colour scheme! The dull pose! The silly orange water pistol!


It's the ultimate 80s toy and I really wanted to paint this guy. And although blue is my least favourite colour to paint, I am very happy with him. And once again, lots of fluorescents to up the vibrancy. What a cool model to paint! Next will be Buzz-Off!

[DivisMal]

Love him! And totally right. He’s among the best Masters ever released and his design is so stupid that it’s actually a stroke of genius!

[plessiez]

Everything in here is fantastically bonkers, I'd forgotten just how silly Masters of Universe was. Love all the paintjobs, I think beastman is my favourite. The contrast colours - which I normally find a bit oversaturated - are perfect for these. Great stuff..

[The Voivod]

Lovely crisp and bright.
It is indeed extremelt 80's
