Kurgan's Thrilling Pulp Adventures!

[tabletop]

I like the way you've done the white shirts, is that over a blue base or with a blue ink wash? Either way I like it...and will probably copy it whole hearted since I have exactly the same figures waiting on my paint table

No ink on the white shirts: Citadel Codex Grey as a base-coat. Mid tone of Fortress Grey then two coats of Skull White.

Thanks for the recipe? No blue? Maybe my eyes are failing

Hmmm, but maybe I'll cut the gray basecoats with a little blue tone to see how it looks!

[W.B.Kurgan]

Citadel greys are notoriously bluey though, they don't seem to be able to make one in a "true" grey. If such a thing exists!

BTW: I've replaced the fuzzy photos with slightly better ones!

Freddie Suggs - Young and excitable Pilot. He'll take any cargo to the roughest airfield in the back of beyond. No questions asked. No guarantees of a safe landing!

To go with Freddie, more of the crew from Withnail & Co. (a struggling air transport company based in central Asia):

Captain Archie Haggan - Likeable American officer, the guy who gets the others organised.



I'm quite pleased with my "Chinese calligraphy"!

Lord Withnail - the company owner. Determined, stern and brash.  A little too fond of the booze.

Nice!! :mrgreen:

[Operator5]

Great paint jobs and some great "characters" you're developing.

[PeteMurray]

Great work! The nice part about a struggling air freight company is that they can set up shop anywhere in the world. Asia not working out? Maybe Brazil will be better?

[Argonor]

Really nice!

I had something similar in mind about Buzz Barker's Island Hoppers :-)

[Morten]

Nice colour choice on the minis Kurgan.


peace!

Last night's painting work:

Some "Grade 1s" the Security section for Withnail & Co Air Freight. All used to be serving military in Lord Withnail's regiment after the end of the Great War. They now work for their old boss again, but in a less formal roll.
(All names from spam e-mails recieved this week! :: )

Ray Carter. Bergmann MP28 armed ex-soldier.



John Patterson. Another ex-soldier with a Bergmann MP28



Stanley Edmundson. Yet another ex-soldier but armed with a Mauser "Broomhandle"




Edit: These three Airpship Pirate models have all been re-painted as the bad guys, and can be found here: Thrilling Tales: Air Pirates

I love 'em! When completed, you have to make sure to get a group shot of them in their hangar (or at their dock if it's a sea plane). Then, we'll make it sepia toned and you can hang it on the wall.

Thanks Rich! But I'll also have to build the hangar and the plane!  :oops:

A couple more characters to add to Jack Denham's party:

Max Griffin, cigar-chomping loud-mouth. Provides muscle and firepower for the group. Armed with a BAR and a revolver.




Sonny Calvert, the writer for Denham's film project. (Not an archaeologist!) Armed with a .45 automatic and a whip.

With the prospect of a game of 45 Adventure tonight I did some work on my Pulp collection over the weekend! (Battle Report here)

Two more flyers for Withnail & Co. and my first pulp vehicle:

Meredith Holbrook - short-tempered adventuress.




Zilly Messick - cowardly gunner and navigator for Freddie Suggs.




A truck! tatty but reliable!
