Merry X-mas, Cheers

It's Christmas time again..

So I found a perfect lady for this occasion

on the website of Speirra Miniatures 

they sell fantastic 3D printed figures

She was my entry of a duel on Benno's Figures Forum

and for the first time since ages I won, WOW

I gave her a traditional red dress with white details

As you could see on the first picture of this post

I tried to paint reindeer on the mugs

On her back I painted a few extra gold buttons as a detail

I also painted the toenails red, it's Christmas after all 

 

I am very happy with the base, 

with different colors on the stones it shows pretty real

I made the beer head shine with some silver brush

but that's hard to see on the pictures

I hope you liked her, maybe next year another Asterix X-mas figure.

For now thanks for your visit and 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Who's hungry

This month a nice other non-violent figure

who just made some hotdogs...

I found this at the Crisis event in Antwerp Belgium

a few years ago, a nice metal figure

Discworld Miniatures has really cool figures

It was difficult to choose the colors, I wanted to paint him a bit colorful

Since Christmas is already around the door, that may have some influence

With some extra stripes I tried to make his white apron a little less boring

I tried to paint the sandwiches and sausages so tasteful and realistic,

with some lettuce to make it a bit more colorful

In the end I'm happy with the end result, 

so enjoy your meal before everything gets cold hahaha

Hobur the Partyboy

 

On my search of non violent figures

I saw this guy, awesome pose..

I found him here at Speira miniatures

This guy is self supporting i guess..

The figure is a resin 3D print in a fantastic detailed result

It was fun painting him, and a fine find.

I am sure I will order more here

That was all for this month, now I have to find another figure

for november, and still try to find and paint my Romains...

Librarian

And again a post about books..

But not a Asterix figure this time..

When I saw this figure on the website of Speira Miniatures

it was a must-have immediately, what a fantastic pose.

This figure is printed 3-D in resin, in a great quality.

This guy doesn't look happy, maybe he is still thinking about his last exciting book.

I made his shirt in a striped version, quite a challenge.

I kept the books a bit colorful, I guess these looked a bit more luxurious originally.

I hope you like him too.

Obelix with books

 

This month I was inspired by this Obelix

that you can buy as a small statue.

Because in my search for the Roman soldiers I found quite 

a few double figures, including this Obelix... Perfect!

I googled all the album covers and formatted them in excel. 

Best job I say...

Unfortunately the printer couldn't handle the small print, 

so I decided to make some thicker books out of it.

After pasting, the cutting of the books began.

And when all the books were ready,

the now painted Obelix could look at them.

The books were then glued together, 

and because they are so thick I had some left over to make a base.

The base got its firmness with a lot of glue.

And so this figure with a whole stack of books was born.

on a pile of books, with a pile of books.

Here you can see how messy the books are stacked.

On the back of the base I turned a book over, of course, all albums are on it.

And even though I'm going to make it again with thinner books, 

I'm very happy with the end result.

I hope you liked it too, thanks for visiting!
