Hasslefree Hellboy (Painted At Last!)

[Heldrak]

Some of you may recall the thread showing my conversion of the Hasslefree "Harby" miniature into Hellboy:

I've finally finished painting the figure. Most of the work was actually done last year (at the same time as my BPRD entry for LPLIV) but I never got around to finishing the coat and the base, so it languished until recently. Here are the pics:

Sweet! Although the comic is declining I am still a big fan.

You managed the tail better than what I did. I am a bit puzzled why it was not included in the Hasslefree kit.

Presumably for the same reason one does not receive a horned Hellboy head- less grounds for potential legal problems...

Very nice, I did the same thing with mine, GS horns and tail. Though my tail conversion appears from beneath the trenchoat. Your painting is great btw

Right, but the emblematic Right Hand of Doom is in it.

I maybe talking through my hat here, but I think that there is actually some legal precedent that states that you have to have multiple points of similarity to claim copyright infringement. The Right Hand of Doom is only a single point...

You know, after waiting almost three years to get this devil finished and pictures taken, the weekend of Salute may not have been the absolute best time to post them...!
