Picked these up many moons ago but only just recently painted them to go with my
Feku (click link for previous madness) alien forces, I placed the legs closer together to get a higher raised effect than normally used with this sculpt and to show exaggerated movement and their ability to stamp on things (hence the redness on the end of the legs), the colour is to keep them in line with the Feku colour scheme.
Nice models, first thing I've painted fully since May, I don't know but the longer you don't paint the harder it is to paint and then the painting skill suffers as well I believe?
Placed a 15mm modern figure from Eureka miniatures to show scale........but hey it's a start!
Holy crap. I got here first????
ReplyDeleteYes girl!
DeleteVery nicely done!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you sir!
DeleteThose are wicked!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Alex.
DeleteYou've got to love the blood on their feet. A nice touch, Fran!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan.
DeleteNice Work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Thomas!
DeleteNicely done Fran - I'm guessing you didn't use those brushes from Ian for these?
ReplyDeleteNo Tamsin, did you get my email?
DeleteI'd love a few of those in my garden, to keep away neighbour's dogs and cats and Jehovah's witnesses :)
ReplyDeleteFine work , love it Francis .
ReplyDeleteGreetings .
Thanks Vincent!
DeleteGreat looking models. I think painting is a lot like stretching. Really hard to get good at with diligent practice, and really easy to lose when you take time off.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree Sean.
DeleteI like them. Interesting looking miniatures. Will be cool to see them in a game.
ReplyDeleteNice one Chris!
DeleteThey're fekuing huge and scary as fek ! - Great models and great paint-job on them.
ReplyDeleteThanks very fecking much my friend:D
DeleteLovely work, great colors...and nice basing too!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying new things...see me grow:D
DeleteNice paintjob, the bases are cool too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andras!
DeleteAnother nice acquisition, General. Your new-used dry brushing tool has done a magnificent job on these metal war machines. .
ReplyDeleteThose brushes from Ian were so helpful....for stirring my fecking tea!
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteThey would sure poke a hole in anyone, awesome job
ReplyDeleteA big hole too!
DeleteReally fine work, sir.
ReplyDeleteThanks Juan!
DeleteThey look great to me mate. I don't think you lose skill as such I think it just takes a little time to get back to the same standard I usually find its the' eye' that you lose.
ReplyDeleteProbably right there Simon.......
DeleteVery nice walkers Fran! Excellent bases as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonas!
DeleteThey are very nice..
ReplyDeleteThe word Feku sounds a bit "Austin Powers" Japanese twins..is it so or have i just got a chronic sense of punning?
I'm admitting nothing!
DeleteSuperb! Great job on these Francis.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael old boy!
DeleteNice paint job mate. Good to get back in the saddle and those brushes Ray gave you really must have helped (Sorry mate I could not resist).
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing but crying a little too.
DeleteHola
ReplyDeleteComo me gustan,buen trabajo
un saludo
Cool!
ReplyDeleteOh, I like these two. Good work, Fran! I didn't realize how huge they were until the 15mm snuck in!
ReplyDeleteThey got bigger when I redesigned them differently from the website.
DeleteLove the name Fran and they look good too
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Pete.
DeleteThey're pretty awesome. Remind me a bit of some modern War of the Worlds type things.
ReplyDeleteYou're right sir.
DeleteNot sure about Feku? but certainly a bit freaky lookin' !
ReplyDeleteI must admit that was the appeal!
DeleteThanks for explaining the red...lol. Pretty cool! A little like Walkers but more spidery and thus even creepier.
ReplyDeleteLovely paintjob. You can't beat great big stompy aliens.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Matt!
DeleteKick arse work Fran. really nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul!
DeleteLooking very good !
ReplyDeleteBest regards Michael
Thanks Michael.
DeleteThose are nifty - very much a War of the Worlds vibe.
ReplyDeleteFMB
You're right mate!
DeleteOh those are very cool. I believe that painting becomes a habit. Once you break the habit, you fill that time with something else.
ReplyDeleteA large habit!
DeleteI didn't even notice the bloodstains until you mentioned it. What a great detail. And you might be a tad rusty, but I don't think the skill goes away. Same for us writers. I may not write for a while, but when I come back to it, it still comes to me (pretty) naturally.
ReplyDeletePainters block?
DeleteNice work, as always!
ReplyDeleteThanks Trey.
DeleteCreepy, but cool! Well done Fran!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Thanks for that Christopher!
DeleteThey look great, Fran. Placing the legs closer together to get that higher raised effect is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris!
DeleteThese guys are pretty creepy. Creepy in a good way. I think it's the blood….
ReplyDeleteThe blood always creeps.....
DeleteExcellent work on these Fran. I like the little touch with the blood stains
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Scotty.
DeleteGG WP NO RE.
ReplyDeleteWe're fucked.
Pretty much!
DeleteYo Fran ~ fekking nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks girl!
DeleteI like it when you paint such kind of stuff! Not my period but I like it!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
