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..."
;D
Okay everyone, feel free!
Sorry not inventive this morning
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)

'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.

'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.
Nice job!
I have the same figure plus the sci-fi version of the Hasslefree kids to use as my 20mm Jedi equivalents.
That's great! Very fierce looking bear.

Because it's a bitch ?.....I can't figure out what on
earth that 'balloon' is supposed to be doing, or covering.
Maybe ectoplasm ? A pseudopod from a giant amoeba ?
Is the dog an Akita ?

I think it's a blurred out indication of the original attribution of the image.
I've seen simlarly shaped and oddly positioned blobs on Pinterest. Then seen the same image with a "Title" by "Name" attribution elsewhere on the net.
The more I look at that...(image)....the more I see badly done photo-shopping.
The belly strap on the Akita.....That's completely fake.
I'll believe the 'puss' image....Puss.....Obviously zonked out on handfuls of Valium....With a 500 volt lead to the poor sods chest.
Cheers - Phil. ;)

A pity, I was contemplating a Sengoku themed Frostgrave warband - complete with armoured dog.
I can't find it now (inevitably!) but I have seen video footage of their dog and cat armour "in action." The dog seemed completely unconcerned, the cat was clearly pissed off. Pretty much what you'd expect!
Twin crossbows, wonder about the accuracy.
Not lead, but it's done.

"Creedo!"

I got hold of two of these on Evil Bay, one uncommon (yellow base rim), one rare (red base rim), so I trashed the rare one (and kept the base elsewhere).
(https://i.imgur.com/K9ptX7r.jpeg)
This is a simple conversion of a heroclix figure, Excessus, Sword Sinister replaced, base ripped off and new one sculpted, undercoated figure, completly repainted, flying stem attached.
(https://i.imgur.com/D3stPJC.jpeg)
Sometimes, you just need a serious demon prince!
I like that miniature and what you did with it. Looking at the sculpt, and how you paint/present it, made me think of the Metallica song "King Nothing" which is entirely appropriate for poor MacBeth. Good stuff indeed Speedy.
From Brian's collection that he gifted me. No idea, on the base it says Grenadier 1984. It's about 32mm tall.
(https://i.imgur.com/m5mFicu.jpeg)
A bit WWE, a bit Borat!

No idea what the figure's meant to represent but I like it, and how you've painted 'him'.
Really random.
