« on: 07 August 2013, 06:18:45 AM »
Without further ado, Popeye, Olive & Bluto down on the docks.






Excellent minis by Slap Minis.http://www.slapminis.com/
I didn't do them justice, but wanted to share.

Enjoy.

Someone over on TMP asked for comparison pics.
In all pics, left to right are;
Artizan
Slap
Pulp
Reaper Chronoscope








I have no problem using them together.
The Slap minis are a tad bigger, but Popeye and Bluto are strong hero types and Olive always was a tall wispy sort. I am more concerned about equipment comparability as it doesn't matter who is holding the Enfield or the MP40, it should be the same size no matter how tall the man holding it. This obviously is not an issues with the Slap figs as ole Popeye and Bluto are ready to punch your lights out.
Enjoy.

Nice work on those. I think they work well enough with the other figures myself.

I didn't know these sculpts were made. My husband would love them as he loved Popeye as a boy. Nicely done :D

Amalric,

Thanks for posting these photos, especially the comparison pics. Great paint job -- I am always impressed by your work. I think you just convinced me to buy this set.

Best wishes,
