Polar Adventurers

[numbat]

I've been lurking for a while and I love collecting and painting Pulp miniatures - especially the Copplestone ones. Rob Jedi suggested I should post some here. I don't have a game system to use these with, they're just for fun right now.

So I recently finished Polar Adventurers from Copplestone:





This is a display base I made for them:


This is with my friend's borrowed Polar Bear (I was doing the base up for him):


There are some work and progress and tutorials in my blog if you are interested. For other polar stuff I have a Walrus and some sled teams to paint. It is a shame that Copplestone has discontinued a lot of his animal range now.

Edit: I almost forgot... here is the link where you can see some more of my painting: http://arrch.blogspot.com/search/label/pulp

Very nicely done!

Welcome to the forum.

These are great! You should add some of the Pulp Miniatures sculpts with them, they go great together!

[Harwood Hobbies]

They look awesome!  I like the snow effect on the base.

Oh man those look amazing!  Certainly a little inspirational nudge to get cracking on mine in the near future.

Thanks for the comments - yes I would like to get some Pulp Miniatures to go with them, though with the postage overseas I want to make sure I put in a big enough order to make it worthwhile as I am in Australia, so I keep putting it off.

Right now I have 4 Germans carrying an Ark to finish.

A very nice paintjob. Welcome!

That painting is appropriately Deep and Crisp and Even.

[Boggler]

Oooh.

Nice.

They'd be perfect for Tooth and Claw or Saurian Safari (ice age, of course)

 

[Prof.Witchheimer]

awesome, good start!

Excellent PJs and great photo - what is your set up? My pics always let my PJs down

Thanks for the comments - sounds like I'd need to add some pre-historic creatures for Saurian Safari!

Dozing Dragon - For the photography setup, it's a sheet of blue gradient printed on a desktop colour printer. The figures were positioned on it and the photography was with a cheap Canon (non-DSLR) camera using the macro mode and flash turned off. The lighting was provided by my lamp which as a daylight globe in it. The trick is to get the lighting pointing towards the front of the models rather than directly overhead.

I did an auto-levels correction and cropped the photos afterwards on my computer after importing them.

They look good. Maybe they're searching the Himilaya's for an ancient artifact of great power.

Good start, Numbat!

And eight packs from Pulp figures will yield in free postage, world wide (and a free pack)
