My Superfigs

[leegwonfu]

I do think that Dr. Simian looks better in "real life" than in pictures! I think that it is a great fig either way, though.

I finished the Red Bolt (who is actually painted red) last weekend, but just got around to photographing him. I think that the colors are actually a bit deeper and have more contrast on the actual fig. I really need to stop photographing my figs on a solid white background, I think. Regardless, here's the old speedster (a double-shot, 'cause he's so fast, you may miss him the first time...):

Nice the shading on the red turned out well!

Finally got around to photographing a couple more recently finished Superfigs.

First up: The Kilbots!  They are excellent figs that can be easily used for pulp/sci-fi stuff as well as superheroes. They were easy to paint, but a pain to clean up. I wanted to make them fairly contrasty and beat up, and I'm pretty happy with how they came out. I could have spent some more time on them, but I acheived what I wanted, so I figured that I ought to leave well enough alone.

I also painted up Krong the Mighty. It was a pain, as I made the mistake in thinking that the fig would be easy to paint. It wasn't, and it came out too blue. I had originally wanted a cool blue-tone grey color, but the wash I put on it made it too blue. I'm also not particularly happy with the color palette that I used - it's a bit too monocromatic. My main problem in painting miniatures is simply deciding which colors to actually paint onto to the fig! All in all, though, I think that it looks OK (I did wimp out on the axe, though, and just painted it all silver with a touch of tin). So, after disparaging my work, I present it here to you all

Brilliant work, Jan!  I love your Krong!  And those Killbots are aces too!

Very nice work! Love it!

It is not Your Superfigs... It's Your WonderfullFigs!

One of my favorite figs... ever. Great paint job.

He's up there for me too.  Thomas Scioli designed him, and Bob Naismith sculpted him.  Bob also re-worked him into the still unreleased Star-Krong:



One day I hope to get him and a few other unreleased SuperFigs into circulation.

Have flicked through this thread and discovered many very nicely painted and characterful minis  !!! Think my favourites have got to be Ape Ace, Glockroach (love that figure!!!) and the others are not far behind.

Sterling work indeed!!!

I second that ! Now that we are at least 2 european customers, where's the european suppplier for these ?

Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen.

Scott - I had completely forgotten about the re-worked Krong! He's a really cool variant. It's unfortunate that the man made him cut his hair before he could join Star Fleet, though!

My most recently painted Superfig is not a currently available one. A few years ago (maybe a little longer - I'm getting old) I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a master of an unreleased Superfig - the Yeti Agent. He was a cool sculpt, but I wanted to re-do him more to my own tastes. So I decided to attempt to sculpt my own Yeti Agent. It's not my first sculpt, and I think that it turned out well enough that I decided I'd paint him up. I designed him loosely based upon one of my favorite characters from that long-lost (and fantastic) ccg On the Edge - Big Mitts. He's bit less ferocious than the original, and hopefully he comes across as more "non-violent" (although he still packs a hell of a wallop!).

Two sides of my version of the Yeti Agent, and one side-by-side with the original (but unpainted) one. Hope you guys like them both!

I do like him, be cool if I could snag one!

Here's the latest: the Alien Host Warlord Phaedra. I had her sitting around half-done for several years (no lie). Yes, a pattern has already emerged...
