80's Grenadier CoC investigators now with 100% more added Cthulhu!

[Doug ex-em4]

Nice work - takes me back to my Grenadier days. Incidentally, I think you'll find the "rather soft pewter of the time" is due to it being mainly lead. In the eighties, we certainly used to cast bigger pieces with a lot more lead than the human sized figures.

Wow, that Cthulhu model is fabulous! Well done!

Just what, pray tell, is your LUCKY friend for whom you are painting, doing for you in recompense?

[Ballardian]

 Cheers all, as to the recompense, well summoning circles don't build themselves! (Or more mundanely, adding a few figures to the never ending queue doesn't make an appreciable difference & I hadn't painted anything like the Grenadier minis in probably more than twenty years - so they made for an attractive change .)

[Captain Blood]

Splendid. I've done a fair few of these myself. And yes, the RAFM Great Cthulhu was a bugger to assemble. Much heavy duty expoxy cement required...
Still a very nice model at the end of the day though
