Old West Quantrill Outlaw
My first post of 2014. I hope you had a good New Years and wish everyone a lot of luck on the coming Year. I've also updated the project status in header for 2014 listing my new approach.
The figure above is both my villain entry and admission figure for Curt's Analogue Hobbies painting challenge here . Each person is required to paint a figure as kind of an entry fee and this time Curt choose Sam Peckinpah related films as the subject matter for the entry figures. I decided to do a western figure, because Mr. Pechinpah did a famous western film called The Wild Bunch.
Also each Fortnight is a Bonus theme and the upcoming one is villains which I'm currently not doing anything that would fit that, but then a rare thing happened and a light bulb went off in my head and I realized that I could use the entry figure for this as well as he is an outlaw so fits the requirement for villain. So I decided to move him up in the production line so I could meet the deadline.
I painted the figure up to look like an ex-confederate Quantrill raider(considered villains by many) that has now taken up the occupation of an outlaw murdering and robbing for personal profit.
The figure is from Wargames Foundry was a joy to paint up with nice wide smooth surfaces to paint.
Thanks for viewing!

Your gunslinger is terrific! I certainly wouldn't want to be staring into his eyes with his "hand cannon" pointing at me.

As a diii-rect descendant of one of those so called "villains" I can say you've done a nice job. And can also say I never cared for the Foundry sculpts. Not enough guns. Most of Quantrill's boys carried several braces of pistols as they were easier to to fire from horseback and you could fire a lot without reloading. Keep the Black flag flying.

Thank you very much Baron and perhaps he left all his spare pistols in the saddle bags.

Great painting on a bad man! I don't think this fellow misses very often.

Nice work, very smooth paint job. I really like the color of the trousers, may I ask which paints you used on them?
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Iowa. The colours on the figure are a mix of Foundry(my fav) and Vallejo with the trousers themselves in Foundry Rebel Grey.
