I have a couple larger projects on the go but I thought I'd keep in the mix by popping in with a single figure now and again. I found this model deep in my 'Miscellaneous' bin and thought I'd prime it up and put on a lick of paint.
This is a model from the Clan War miniature range. I'm not sure if these figures are still around but I remember that they had some really nice castings, though they are a tad largish in comparison to regular 28s.
I always liked the look of the red armour from the movies 'Ran' and 'Heaven and Earth' (not the Tommy Lee Jones film) so I thought I'd try something similar.
His polearm is a little over the top but I was too lazy to swap it out with something less 'heroic'. (I'm going to call it a 'Meganata', yeah that's it...)
This lad will chip me 5 points. WooHoo!
Very cool figure. I have tons of those Clan War gathering dust in my garage...they were nice figures indeed.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I remember them being quite popular at the time. Maybe we can work something so I can get a couple more from you? Drop me a note.
DeleteA much excellent work there
ReplyDeleteCheers Benito!
DeleteHe looks great, I would not like to see him charging towards me!!
ReplyDeleteIan
He does look suitably ferocious, doesn't he.
DeleteReally nice, the red armour came out beautifully.
ReplyDeleteHe's a serious looking chap and well painted. Lovely basing too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Millsy!
DeleteOh and they still seem to be available:

Ah, cool! Its nice that they are being made available as there are some nice sculpts in the range.
DeleteA fantastic figure, Curt. I like a lot your choice of colours.
ReplyDeleteThanks Juan, he just seemed to be calling out to be painted red...
DeleteGreat work Curt
ReplyDeleteCheers James!
DeleteNice - love the colours
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, you need to a Samurai & Cowboy themed game. I think there are a few movies/comic books based on this premise.
Deleteoh its already crossed my mind...the Magnificent 7 Samuria , with due inspiration from Kurosawa and Yul Brynner - be careful what ya wish for...
DeleteSamurais is creeping up the project list...
Very nice; I didn't realize the range was "over-sized" - will keep this in mind in case I need an "heroic" sized leader or character. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Dean! Its not that they are that much taller, just beefier. But yes, they certainly have that gravitas about them.
DeleteThanks Andrew!
ReplyDeleteNice work Curt! Love the red and yellow paintjob.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray!
DeleteThat's really fecking mice mate.
ReplyDeleteCheers Fran! We've been missing your commentary over the hols, hope you had a good one!
DeleteVery nice work yet again Curt!
