So this is a miniature that my wife Gina requested I paint for her, because she feels like this is a good representation of where she's going with her life (though so far at least, we've been able to keep things to a manageable one cat at a time). And it's...been a bit since she made that request. To the point where she's probably forgotten that she requested it.
I found the blister pack while tidying and organizing the other week and said to myself, "self, you need to get this painted tout suite." So I got her cleaned up, based, and added two cats (off a sprue of six provided) to the base at her feet. I got her primed on a warm day last week and got to work.
None of the cats were painted to match any current or deceased cat that we've had in our lives; instead, we've got a Russian Blue, a Tuxedo, and an Orange.
Just gluing her inside an acrylic case to protect her, and she'll be done. I'm going to surprise Gina with this figure as one of her Christmas gifts.

Bill, I sent this photo to a friend whose wife owns a half dozen "inside" cats, and probably an equal number of outdoor ones. I told him Heidi HAS to get this figure. He replied (naturally) -- "She already does!"
ReplyDeleteHah, that's great Mike! There's a lot of hidden gems like this in Reaper's "Chronoscope" line. I'll probably be placing an order in December for my annual restock on their limited edition "Coal Black" paint and grabbing some modern civilians for my table while I'm at it. A troop of Boy Scouts would make an interesting objective to rescue!
