Hi everyone !
This is my first post here. My name is David, and I've been painting and playing with miniatures for 20 years (which is probably less than most of you
).
I've been lurking these forums for a few years too, and I really appreciate what I'm seeing most of the time. But this time I've decided to register and start participating.
Why ? Because I need your help !
My younger brother is a long time fan of
Shining Force, a 1992 turn based fantasy strategy game for the Genesis/Megadrive console.
I would like to find and paint miniatures that look like the main characters of the game, and then give the whole to my brother for his birthday.
My painting skills are decent, but my modding/sculpting skills are close to zero. So I need to find miniatures as close as possible to the original characters. That's why I need your help (my knowledge of fantasy miniatures is a bit outdated).
The characters whose lookalikes I'd like to find are :
Max the main character
Luke, a beardless dwarf
Ken, an armored and spear wielding centaur
Tao, an elf wizard
Hans, an elf archer
Lowe, a halfling priest
Gong, a monk fighting bare hands
Balbaroy, a Hawk-man
Zylo, a wolfman with steel claws
Bleu, a young dragon
Musashi, a samurai
Hanzou, a ninja
Adam, a robot
And now the tricky characters :
Jogurt, a giant hamster with a helmet (!!)
Kokichi, an old man with a flying apparatus
Guntz, an armored armadillo-man (!!)
And last but not least, Domingo the ball-of-fur-under-a-bucket (!!!!)
Off course If I manage to find and paint the miniatures, I'll post the pictures here
Thanks in advance for you help !
