Mr. Big and the Purple Gang
« on: 13 January 2010, 12:42:29 AM »
This is the start of my roaring 20's game.  Mr Big is supposed to be out of scale...Because he's Mr. Big.  He's a repainted Heroclix "Kingpin".  The gals are Copplestone's Gun Molls.  I wanted Mr. big to have an all-girl gang.  Let me know what you think. As always my pics are crappy.

Nice painting and you sell yourself short on your photography skills.

Very nice.  I really like the skin tones and the purples.

What a cool idea! I think your repaint definately improved Kingpin.

Looking very good, I like the paint jobs and theme you've got going there.  In regards to your photography issues, I wish I had your problem.   ;)

I really like the painting, very smooth. Good work! I think I'm going to look around my Heroclix for some victims to repaint!

There is also a new Kingpin in the Hammer of Thor heroclix set.


He's #2 in the set and is common as dirt. (I think I have 2-3 extra here)

What he said.  Thats a really cool gang.

As already mentioned, your purples are great.  I tend to struggle with purple personally.

I can only agree. Nice painting! The models all have their own individual appeal. And I love the repainted Kingpin. Hm, I have one flying around somewhere. The idea of an all girl gang with a sugar daddy is wonderful. Reminds me of the Mansons...
