Ultra Cool!

I just finished another member of the band of brothers.  This model is from Hitech Miniatures.  It is the ArchFather Theodor Madera figure.  The model overall is pretty cool as far as detail and pose.  It is roughly the same scale as the Scibor figures although perhaps a tad less clunky looking.

I dug out the model's head and replaced it with one I had from an old Heroclix figure (the one that came with it was small, bald and had a goatee which didn't quite fit the part as you will see).  I painted it in the colors of the Lucky 13th and added some decals to complete the look.

I'm super happy with how this particular bad boy turned out.  I'd appreciate it if you would take a second and check out the picture.

Anger Is The Enemy

One quarter of the way done.  With this Berserk Knight from Kabuki Studio completed, I have found five of the family.  This particular model put up one heck of a fight (as one might expect).  Where the ax connects to the model on the right side is an extremely small area that became a nightmare to keep together.  The same problem occurred connecting the tiny feet of the figure to the base.  I'm sure these will be areas that I will need to revisit in the future.

Much like the Preacher Knight, this model is on the smallish side.  Like all the other Kabuki KOL models, the figure has nice details.  The pose is decent.  However, the scenic base was really stupid looking so I converted it with some Sculpey.  I'm happy with the overall rock base look that I created.  I was tired of painting with gold so I went with black for the armor.  I gave the armor brass trim and did the leathers in red.


I am mostly happy with how this wayward warrior looks especially in contrast to his siblings.  As always, thanks for checking out my blog.  I am honored that you do!
