Big Trouble in Miniature China!
« on: December 28, 2012, 10:38:21 PM »
Hi All,

I am new to the forum, and to break in my new membership I thought I would share some of my newly painted pulp figures

I love Chinese and Hong Kong cinema, particularly martial arts movies and for some time I have been wanting to put together a collection of miniatures and scenery for a Pulp Gaming Chinatown.  I finally got around to painting my figures, most of which are from Bob Murch's range that I picked up over the last few Historicons.

All in all I think they turn out rather well -- I had a great deal of fun with the free hand styling!

I hope you like them!

--Debs (aka Hecate)

Beautiful paint work.
I picked up these figures second hand last year and they've been waiting in the wings. I hope I can do them justice like these.
Cheers.

Welcome to LAF! Fantastic paint jobs, I love all of Mr. Murch's sculpts and you really did them justice. They all look great but I love the skin tones, the advisor's robes and the villagers best.


Great stuff and keep posting

Thanks all for the warm welcomes and kind words!  It's very much appreciated.

I am so happy you like them, I have a few more to post later (some more of Bob's work and a couple of others).   One day I might even get around to some more scenery building!  :-*

Thanks again!
