A few weeks back I was asked if I was able to paint up a small set of figures from Bad Squiddo Games, and I was happy to accept. Initially I had another commission lined-up, but while that was being confirmed, I had some time spare to squeeze them in. Of course, it's always a pleasure to paint anything from Badsquiddo; as well as having a nice range of genres their models have plenty of character to them, making it a breeze to let your painting creativity loose - I've long been a fan of Badsquiddo's Action Heroines duo; simple figures but brilliantly blank canvases!   Anyway. I recieved a pack of Zombie Shieldmaidens and Amazon Elite guard. Nice extremes. Grand and Grim.   Nothing too over-the-top for the Amazons; sticking to a bronze with a muted patina for the armor and plain colours for the tunics. I did, however, want to break-up that bronze a little, so made some of the details on the shin-guards and belt into turquoise gems.   The zombies were more of a chall...

Mostly another image dump, but of the completed commission set. And, I have to say, a set that got a little away from me. Not great, but I've certainly learnt some lessons and changes will be made. But, on to the models themselves. Final vehicle finished - the yellow sports car - and some photos of the complete line-up.  

  Mostly an image-dump rather than a fully-fledged post, but an update on some of the completed figures and what's next and left to do. All the individual models are now finished, so now I'm in the process of priming the last of the cars - the sports and limo and the Maelstrom gang. This leaves only the MaxTac squad.

Well, I finally finished the two military vehicles after a few hiccups. Have to be honest and say that I'm not completly happy with them, but they look better than I expected them to at a few points! Having sorted out the wheel-size issue with the small desert rat-runner, I had some paint/varnish issues with the transporter. To cut a long story short, some of the coats didn't seem to dry fully; seem very slightly tacky. As it turned out, the final matt coat seemed to work okay.
