Smurf Wars (in 28mm of course) (update 05/06)

[white knight]

Get a whole village full please!

That's the plan. 

[Michi]

Is there anything more Belgian than a Smurf? 

[YPU]

See this is the kind of madness I come to LAF for.

 I remember getting small Smurf toys in chocolate cakes when we were in Spain on holiday when we were kids.Might have to try to dig them out.I am sure that they were a similar size to the small Asterix figures.

[Agis]

Damn, I love it!
Being a kid I was a huge Smurf (or Schlumpf fan).
The black Smurf attack was one of my favourites! GASCH!!!

There is nothing weird about this project at all, except that it hasn't already been done!
Have you seen these?


Foundry Viking for scale. They came in 3 pks or with little parts of the Village. Used pop up on eBay all the time, may provide some useful bits.

........I remember getting small Smurf toys in chocolate cakes when we were in Spain on holiday when we were kids.........

They are still everywhere over here, frequently show up in supermarkets and newsagents packed in with crayons, sweets and such like. Virtually all the games stores carry collectable figures, mugs, plaques etc.
There is a Smurf theme park being built in Lleida and then there is Júzcar........

[white knight]

Have you seen these?

I have, have been tempted to pick up a few sets from a local store to use some of the bits, but have been able to resist the temptation.

After the pleasing result with the first house, I attacked the second, and decided to go for a new colourscheme that I think worked well. I also used a bigger brush, which made a huge difference on the roof.

I did this a while ago (only had a chance to post them now)  and was so pleased with the result that I went back to the store and bought ten more of the piggybanks. With hindsight, I should have picked a few more, as they never got them back in stock, but 12 should make a decent sized village.

[Michi]

Hold it, a Smurf in 28mm would be about 1mm tall wouldn´t it? 

[white knight]

Yeah, I guess. They're about halfling or goblin sized.

[The Dozing Dragon]

Here lies madness!

[white knight]

Probably, but I'm just in love with those mushroom houses.

[Mason]

Probably, but I'm just in love with those mushroom houses.

Me too.
They are great!
 

I would love to have seen the shop assistant's face when you bought that batch of ten, though.
 

[Dr. Zombie]

Yeah, I guess. They're about halfling or goblin sized.

The official height of Smurfs is 3 apples tall.

I smurf everything about this project.
