HeroQuest Mummy
28 mm
I did most of the work on this guy while laid up with a cold, and then (unrelatedly) recovering from having a long skinny medical instrument jammed through my body via some of my larger blood vessels. Not optimal painting conditions, but this wasn't exactly a groundbreaking paint job either. Still, I like the results.
Size comparison with an old Citadel mummy from "Curse of the Mummy's Tomb". HeroQuest figures are a lot closer to modern "heroic 25/28mm":
Do you realize sometimes you over-criticyse your own works? looks between 6+ or 7 on CMON basis and freaking awesome for a HQ figure (you know old fashion paintjobs, no basing, mummyskin = green or purple and just drybush all over the place).
ReplyDeleteLike it alot, reminds me my very own mummy (the one I sculped when I was back from Cairo lol)
Thanks! Don't worry, I think I did a decent job on this. But it's just, well it's basically one colour with some shading and highlights.
ReplyDeleteI sure do think it beats the pants off my previous mummy, as seen above, though. That one's drybrushed all over!
Super nice work on that - I received one in a lovely random lot from eBay - it's currently on the workbench and will likely be battling a repainted Hellboy :)
ReplyDeleteThis is by far the best paint job I've seen on that particular miniature, and trust me... I've seen a lot. I really like the skin tone, definitely unusual but it works very well.
