Flying Witch

Years ago the special figure of FIGZ 

was this awesome flying witch with her cat.

Sculped by my good friend Alex.

Since she is flying, I had to present her differently. 

I chose confirmation through her back.

After I had drilled the hole and glued a paper clip into it,

I could start painting.

I opted for a purple version, supplemented with some pink. 

Of course the cat is black.

It had been a while since I had painted 20mm,

it was fun to do (although I really prefer the larger scale)

For the presentation I had opted for a deep photo frame,

I glued a haloween picture on the back wall.

I made the frame black, so that it gives the right depth and atmosphere.

When the frame was ready, it was time to add the witch.

(the bumps will disappear later)

Determine the right place and start drilling ...

During this execution, of course the broom broke.

Yes the figure is very vulnerable. 

After that was glued again, this is the end result.

I made this for my girlfriend with whom I have been together for 13 years today. 

She loves witches and has been looking forward to 

the painted version of this witch for a long time.

Naughty Witch

As the title does say, a bit of a naughty post this month.
But it must be the warm weather I presume
why this witch is wearing this outfit.

I am talking about the special FIGZ figure 2019.

For those who visit FIGZ every year my good friend Alex

does sculpt a figure in scale 1/72 in a limited edition.

This year he send me a mail, he was a bit carried away...

Now you can see what he ment....

And for me personal it was something new to paint.

Okay I admit I had a lot of fun doing her.

Hours of research for this uniform, hahaha

Not really my scale to paint, but she looks fine to me.

I did put her on a wooden pedestal, and kept it simple...

A big thanks to Alex for making this special figure.

Hope you like her, next month no nude by me, lol

To Be or not To Be

The special figure for FIGZ 2013!!!

As most of you know, I organize once a year the small event FIGZ

to promote this hobby in the Netherlands.

I am proud to say that my Rusian friend Alex made again

a amazing figure in our theme "Game"

a real colectors item, cause only 50 are made!

So I had to paint this guy fast, cause I wanted to show him at the FIGZ shop.

Because of the timelimit, I personal am not pleased by the result.

The text "Bennos figures" had turned out unreadable, but the FIGZ sides turned out well

But it was the first of the only 50 who was painted.

And like the happy wargamer again a suberb figure to paint.

The sculpt of this 1/72 figure is amazing, thanks Alex!

Hope you like it, and will see U at the next FIGZ!

Happy Wargamer

This figure is specialy made by Alex for members of Benno's forum who did visit FIGZ 2011.

For me as Benno's dad its extra fun to see his name on the pedestal,

so it was right away clear for me to paint the text gold.

We even did sent the figure by post to a lot of members, but the strange thing with colecters items is that nobody wants to paint them. Such a shame, because this figure is realy worth it.

After painting this guy, I am sure to do a knight made by Alex in the future, the details are suberb, and it was realy fun to paint. The only thing what was hard to do was the dice, stupid I know...
Alex is in my eyes a master sculpter, and I would like to thank him for making this figure for us.

More painted Happy Wargames you can find on Benno's Forum 

and personal I hope more will folow.

Thomas Leatherboy

Cheers on this wounderfule figure made by Alex as a gift and limited edition for the forum meeting in Kampen (NL) 2010.

The idea of this figure was born in the chatroom of Bennos forum, where my good friend Thomas showed his picture wearing a lederhose. His plan was to visit us in Kampen, so we asked Alex to make this small German beer drinking figure. I am proud to show this figure here, even some of my friends did a much better job as you can see on Bennos forum.

This figure deserved a peddestal, so I bought a small beerglass, filled it with foam, and some gleu for the drops on the glass.

A special thanks to Alex, who did make this posible for us!
