Hobby-wise, to break up mostly prep work, I did add this detective to the Cairo Constabulary, an Artizan Designs sculpt.
I also picked up a couple more hills at Salute, with a mind to carving them up a bit. The first went from this:
To this:
Yup, much cursing as I carved it in half, splodged some wood filler to cover the polystyrene interior that I discovered inside. Useful as I can either have impassible rock faces or run hills agains the board edge, they won't sort the greater issue that all of my boards are variations on 'pretty flat'.
Anyway, I must get back to it, Gharak has me building an arab market for a Pulp game at the end of the month. While he enjoys the good weather no doubt! It is coming along nicely, I've even managed to find some stallholders and civilians to mill about in it.
That detective is bloody lovely work mate.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you *doffs cap*
DeleteI love the figure and the "broken hill" is a very good idea : perfect for some ambush!
ReplyDeleteLove the detective. The skin colouring is superb.
ReplyDeleteThanks kind sir. I'm a little in two minds about it, been trialling different methods for non-Caucasian skin. This is scorched brown, devlan mud wash, highlighted with dwarf flesh.
DeleteGreat job on the detective (especially like his jaunty kerchief). I have a schwack of those Artizan sculpts sitting in the wings - must get to them as they're great fun to paint. That bisected hill would make a very nice railway cut as well.
ReplyDeleteThe kerchief was plain blue until I was struck by an urge to 'jauntify' it!
