Recently someone anonymously gifted me with some of Bob Murch's fine Pulp Figures. I have of course seen many of his figures painted, but never had any of my own. Well now I had The Hired Guns, the Jazz Quartet and a Native American in my hands. Fingers itching with anticipation, I began laying brush to three of the Hired Guns. By the time I got done, it was too late, I'd been Murch'd! Yes folks, I'm now addicted and let me tell you, it's going to cost my husband lots of money to feed this new addiction.

I sculpted the bases myself using Super Sculpey.

Yes, I am aware that the barrel of that Tommy Gun is bent.

I've painted these as part of Curt's Annual Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge and am going to have the Jazz Quartet done by end of February. After the Challenge is finished in March I'm going to buy the New Version of the Film Crew, Rugged Heroes, Scientific Masterminds, Drawing Room Detectives, Dr. Prometheus and his Death Ray and Dr. Prometheus' Electro Laboratory. That's only six packs so I'll need to decide on three more so I can get two packs free.

I think those will end up giving me a pretty good start on my new addiction.

Thank you for looking.

Lovely painting, and the photography is very atmospheric.

I agree, I´ve painted dozens of Bob Murch miniatures and the won´t let you lay down the brush. Your work on the mobsters is well done!

Really nice smooth figures there, with lovely colour as always.

Looks like you've got the Murchendise!

Very lovely paintwork, OLeary, your smooth painting style fits them well

Nice paint job, I really like the bases too

Finding your niche in the craft is TERRIFIC. I'm sure Himself won't mind parting with a couple of bucks to see you happy. The Gangsters look like they just stepped out of a Cagney Flick. The brushwork & color choices are as always OUTSTANDING; AND the brickwork bases look WONDERFUL. VERY WELL DONE!

Nice work. Mr Murch deserves support and completion of figures like that. I wish I could get similar results with my bases.

I´d support him anytime!

Great painting work. The figures are full of character and the bases are fantastic! Bob Murch is a very dangerous influence for many of us!

Annie, I haven't seen much of your work on TMP lately, so it is real nice to see it on LAF.

Nice work! The shading is spot-on!

I've yet to buy any Murch figurines. I'm sure I will set foot on the top of that slippery slope one day.

I've heard that there is an ointment that will clear the Murches right up, but everyone who has gotten the itch has decided to forgo the treatment.

Excellent painting on these! Love the colours and painting style.
