Armed Civilians

 I think I want to get back to posting on this here blog versus social media. First, it's better for my mental health to be spending less time on those other sites, and two, I think it'll help me with accountability in terms of painting versus buying. 

To that end, here's a mix of armed civilians I dug out of my various project boxes and threw some primer on last week. Painting concluded last night - with the basing dry I just have to dust the edges clean. 

"Maria," from Hasslefree Miniatures. A very animated-yet-relaxed pose!

"Jean-Baptiste," from Hasslefree Miniatures. 

"Billy Ray" from Hasslefree Miniatures.

An unnamed goon from Brigade Games' "Drug War Z" range. Loved doing the sweat stains!

Another "Drug War Z" figure.

This last figure's jacket reminded me of Cliff Clavin from the show Cheers, and so he's been painted as a United States Postal carrier. My dad was a mail carrier for almost 30 years, and so when I showed him these pictures, his only comment was "I know what he's going through."

So what's next on the table?

Well, it is almost Christmas...

I'm personally not that keen on watching "Die Hard" as a Christmas movie, but I love Alan Rickman and this figure from Crooked Dice is an incredible likeness. He's been clipped off his tab and glued to a resin "industrial" base to represent the roof of the Nakatomi Tower.
