28mm Hinterland Princess Viktoria-Luise, Anonymous Book, Dice Shenanigans and........

...........how will you die if you found yourself in a slasher movie!

28mm figure from Hinterland Miniatures of a Princess who is a colonel in a Hussar regiment hence the death's head emblem, nice figure but deserved better, far nicer painted version on the Hinterland site.....





Andras found this picture!



Received this book from Edwin but not..... as when he ran his competition I was interested in this book in the give away but did not win as my luck with most competitions is atrocious, so anyway this arrived in the post with a note......


The note.........and thank you to my anonymous giver......much appreciated, half way through it already........


BigLee and his awful, awful dice rolling..... incredibly awful luck with dice and usually when I'm on his fecking side in a game and the challenge issued by Ray was is he the worst dice roller ever? I tried the challenge and yes he still is!!!!!


This little picture challenge tickled me.........

Seemingly I would end up as"The sinister stranger who is taken hostage at the very start of the film (pre-credits!)".

Compared to some of the outcomes this is not too bad..........



Have a good week if you can and don't forget the Google+ button for sharing and more communication between blogs,,,,,,,,,,,

BLOG-CON draws closer and Sidney Roundwood has asked for some help, BLOGGERS FOR CHARITY has had some good news and PR due to our mate Loki!

Still not started painting but getting there, just found out where I left my Mojo:D

  6. A very generous gift from someone.

    Take a look down the back of your sofa - your mojo may be there, but if not you'll probably find some loose change, pens, sweeties etc to make up for it.

    As for that picture challenge:
    "I am the big-chested (big chested? *pfft*, bimbo? *harrumph*) who is crushed to death but returns from the grave to seek my revenge"

  8. I am a person who works at the motel who gets mauled by dogs but they never find the body.

    Good luck on the book. There are some very kind and generous people in our hobby.
    Nice figure and it will fit so well with the others you have done. Email sent concerning Skirmish and fudge and such. All the best mate.

    2. Yeah sorry I forgot about Postie. Let me know when you can. No worries. It's all done and in the fridge now setting and drying out a little.

  10. I wouldn't die in a slasher movie because I'd be the slasher and in my movie, evil always wins because good is dumb.

  18. Nice work nonetheless - Is the figure based on this lady? Looks similar for sure.

    I'm a cop who spontaneously combusts after revealed as the killer. Not half bad (surname first!).

    ReplyDelete
  19. Its all good fun until you're the jock that nobody cares about and commits suicide !

  20. Princess looks like lead on the band camp. Love the colors on her. do I want to know how I would die? Not in my bucket list. Dice roll, I don't know my luck never favors me anytime.

    1. She has a band leader look to her, Glenda Miller?

    2. To me she kinda, maybe the hat? :)

  21. That is a wonderful figure; I really like that range. Dean

    ReplyDelete
  22. I always say "Yes!" to a woman leader who keeps her hand tightly gripped on her pistol! Nice work, General.

    ReplyDelete
  23. If a princess like that existed right now, I'd see about making her mine. All that badass.. mf.

    Cough.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Figure looks great! I love the coloring on the purple dress.

    Apparently I'm the depressed, quiet one who dies by meat cleaver and is never found. That's... depressing.

    ReplyDelete
  25. She's looking so beautiful, great colors!

  26. We all hope to go out while on the job!

  27. It seems:

    "I am the sinister stranger who is mauled by wild dogs at the end when all seemed safe".

    Nice figure and good to hear you found where you left your mojo.

  28. lets see, pot smoking comedy relief who is buried alive but nobody cares. Not sure I like that....lol

    ReplyDelete
  29. Well thanks for that Fran. I'm the quiet, depressed one who gets raped before death and who's body is never found. I'd better carry a tin of starters in me pocket then . . . .

    I'm going to take lee's dice challenge now - that should be a laugh.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Well that was a twist..
    I'm the person who works at the motel, who is gutted with a chainsaw, after being revealed that I was the killer!
    So.. um.. beware if I am in your neighbourhood then! :)

    Liked the painting though..

    ReplyDelete
  31. Love it! A pink dress and a death's head are quite the unusual combo. But it works!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ack! I couldn't even look at the how will you die poster!

    Love the pink dress, very fetching :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Nice Hussar figure - I'd like a variety of these for a 'Ladies Club' for Empire of the Dead...

    ReplyDelete
  34. Good skills all around Fran...I am the murderer!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Great paintjob on a very nice figure!

    Cheers

  36. Glad to hear you're getting your mojo back, Fran. I love the bright colors on this one.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Nicely painted Fran.

    I don't die in a slasher film. First of all I'm too classy to show up in a cheap film and secondly I'm too feckin' smart to get myself killed.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Nicely painted figure, FRan. And the book, really, really interesting!

    ReplyDelete
  39. wow that uniform in the photo is dazzling. Also, surprised at the clarity of such an old pic.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Nice painted figure Fran! And you don't want to know how I die! :-D

  41. So I guess I'm the pot-smoking comedy relief... who is mauled by wild dogs... but returns from the grave to seek my revenge.

    Oh if only I were a 28 year old named Zach...
