The next nugget to be unearthed from the lead mountain was yet another Grenadier sculpt (they were the largest distributor of figures in the 1980's):
As with all of the later Grenadier sculpts, it is beautifully detailed and has an interesting pose - it looks as if it has just caught the scent of its next victim!
An easy figure to paint, too - base coats of red and yellow, then ink washes and finally dry brushing to finish. I put it on a 45mm base to be consistent with the rest of my mini's, but that left the ends of the base a bit bare - hence the skull and bones, which are just spare bits from a plastic skeleton.
Pleased with the way this one turned out!
Very cool.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI love Grenadier miniatures and miss John Dennett's work. To this day his sculpts stand above many of the current release from other manufactures. Great job bringing this piece to life:)
ReplyDeletenow he's nice, I'd like a small force of different sculpts of him, your paint job helps with that decission :)
