Thanks chaps.
Puuka: now you've said that I can't get it out of my mind😳 he could indeed pass for a starved
Beast!
Today another rescued golden hero. This is GWs obviously ' not ' hulk, so I did the right thing
and went with a very hulk-y colour scheme. Again, the paint job is showing its age and once I've got the time I'll add at least another highlight to everything

Regards

Jim

Never skip leg day!

I'm also offended by those nipples

2 very good points Cherno!
Those nipples seem to follow you round the room😳

Another GW golden hero figure, a mystical hero. Taking a colour scheme from Dr. Fate.
As before, I'll need to re-touch the colour scheme to make it more presentable when I've got time.

My biggest criticism of this one would be the stance. I know heroes tend to go for the wide legged look, but this guy takes it to extremes

This one looks like a 70's pornstar ! I mean, "Super Pornstar"

Great paint as usual !

Thanks Sundayhero,
Yup, definitely has a porn 'tache look about him. Makes you wonder who he's hypnotising
With his amulet and to what ends

This is the golden heroes generic caped superhero. As with all of these, he needs a bit of work
to bring up to spec.

Regards

Jim

I see that you're using revell aqua color jars to paint your minis, do you like this range of paint ? Personaly, I like it very much : cheap and good quality. For me the only issue is the jar itself, I prefer old school citadel/coats d'arms jar, or at least, vallejo/prince august jars.

Great paint job! He looks like Van Dam doing a split!

Cheers Styx
@sundayhero:- I like them a lot, I find they have a lot of pigment and cover really well.

I cut the two little "prongs" under the lid off, as I've found they can get bent and prevent the lids from sitting properly and this can cause drying out of the paint.
Their Camo style shades are brilliant for historically, but don't have too many uses on supers.

Regards

Jim

they have a really bright yellow, called 36115 yellow mat. On the jar, it seems that the paint is almost fluorescent lemon yellow, but in reality it's a very warm yellow, almost orange, a bit similar to the old school citadel sunburst yellow (even more reddish, maybe). Really usefull for supers !

They also have some cold greens you should find some use for your work too.

A problem with this range is the fact the labels colors (and/or names) are not always very revealent, so it's a bit of lucky pick. At least they are cheap and easily available, so you can test them.

I also cut the prongs, for the same reason

Nice... I like the "cheese" factors these sculpts have. I like the paint jobs just fine

fairoaks024 · « **Reply #355 on:** July 04, 2015, 01:32:44 PM »

Rollntider, I like the 80s cheese and nostalgia factor too

Another golden hero, the female cat burglar style one, again with odd posing

To break up the rescuing of old figures a bit, I decided to have some fun with some fantasy figures I've got lying around unused. I figured with all the alien races being members of the green lantern corps that pretty much anything goes, so I present the green lantern of Warhammer earth,

The Ogre Lantern works splendidly!

Nice contrast with the petite cat burglar too.

fairoaks024 · « **Reply #358 on:** July 06, 2015, 02:20:59 PM »

Cheers Vanvlak,

Back to recovering the golden heroes, a diminutive strongman from the range

Regards

Jim

One of the golden heroes villains today,
Although tbh I would think he's more of a thug or goon for a villain rather than a
Full blown villain in his own right
