My random stuff from my painting pile thread

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Hi all,
As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain.
I decided last year rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escpaed socks, I would actually paint some of them.

This time my offering is two Essex miniatures (I know they are Essex as they say Essex under their bases) - guess they are 15mm giants/minotaurs? Anyway, they are painted now.

This one is crying out for a caption contest.

Top picture:

Human man: "Come on Minnie, let's go say hello to the nice big fella over here. You can't be moping around after that Theseus boy forever!"

Bottom picture:

Human man: "Come away, I can't believe you said that about his teeth! By Zeus, I can't take you anywhere! You'll never find a nice man at this rate..."

Ellien 'Elf' Foxworthy from Schlock Mercanary at the point where she was using prosthetic legs.
It's a long story... 20 years long to be fair, but one of my all-time favourite webcomics! Agin, the figure has been sitting there waiting to be painted for a good 8 years.

This month's random offering...
I ordered some weapons from Alternative Armies for 28mm conversion work, and this came attached as a freebie.
No idea why someone sculpted a figure being attacked by chemeleons, but you know...

So, here is Sir Kenneth the Permanantly Surprised. A reclining 28mm knight with beasties!

Bought this sometime before 2010.
Then lost one arm,
Then lost the Scythe that had come detached.
Gave up.
Sat in a box...
Eventually (last weekend), I was looking for something else in many other boxes, and found all the bits, one by one, so...
My two/one favourite Discworld character.
DEATH (and the DEATH OF RATS)

DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I COULD MURDER A CURRY.

I AM DEATH, NOT TAXES, I ONLY TURN UP ONCE


'You can't give her that!' she screamed. 'It's not safe!'
IT'S A SWORD, said the Hogfather. THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE.
'She's a child!' shouted Crumley.
IT'S EDUCATIONAL.
'What if she cuts herself?'
THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LESSON.

Rach, my youngest, fairly said I had not painted her a figure yet.
True.
What did she want, "A panda!"

Slight head scratch later, and Hasslefree ordercome in.
It's tiny, but it's a panda!

These are looking great, love these wee single pieces just for fun.

[Ithoriel]

Nice job!

I have the same figure plus the sci-fi version of the Hasslefree kids to use as my 20mm Jedi equivalents.

[Raider4]

That's great! Very fierce looking bear.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Anyway, they are painted now.

Can we has a 2nd opinion on dat from the nastyest frog on the forum...
