Sticking with the theme of “ancient
Egypt” at least… sort of…
Okay not really for wargaming…
but making use of those same mad-hobby-modeling-skillz…
This is actually an old Aurora
Monster Model of “The Mummy” I assembled and painted for a friend. I’ve had it –
working on it a little bit every-so-often – for an embarrassingly long time (I
should just never promise I’ll paint things for friends…). But now, finally, it
is finished. Huzzah!
(Now I just have three more to
finish up!)
(Hopefully they won’t take
nearly so long!!)
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Back to gen-u-ine gaming stuff
Very cool, it reminds me of a model I had as a kid. All long gone now.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sean. Yeah, I never had any of these as a kid, but I knew other kids that had them... or maybe knew other kids whose older brothers had them...? I can't think of too many friends I had that were that much into modelling... ? Anyway, I remember seeing them at other people's houses and probably at hobby stores, but at that time I was more interested in building models of tanks and stuff...
DeleteJust goes to show that some of the old stuff still compares well with the new. I remember converting a Phantom of the Opera into Adam Adamant (who remembers him now?) by substituting a Black Knight head and making a sword stick out of sprue.
ReplyDeleteNice!
DeleteThat's a beautiful mummy, excellent work, the skin is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, I was trying for ancient and dessicated, but ended up worrying that it looked too much like the sand on the base... I thought perhaps I could have gone a shade darker... but looking at it now, that probably would have been too dark and looked odd.
