Top work Terry

Very good, suitably scary!

Thank you all! Bill, Emmett Kelly will always be the most famous clown I know of, even surpassing the one with the Golden Arches by a long shot! I studied quite a few pictures of Emmett Kelly, but his costume did not match what I had to work with, but I was considering doing his face make-up.

They're great fun.

Just wanted to share a work in progress report on the new Purger elements. They are far from finished, but will give an idea of where I'm heading.


The clowns base coats are now final, with a few minor changes and tweaks from the last picture. Will start the shading and highlighting on them now. When I do that I will focus on just these three figures.


First view of the "sport's Warband element. Univ. of Texas, Atlanta Brave, and SMU.. Need lots of work still.


The first Shooter element.  Flag face, skull face and a character taken form the second Purge movie, Anarchy.


Second Shooter element. All variations taken from the various movies, although the last guy was taken from the Indian in the latest remake of The Magnificent Seven, but modified. (FYI - the remake is terrible so stick with the original!!!)


Behemoth element, the NFFA troops from the second movie, Anarchy. I know, pretty exciting.....black! Here are a couple of screen shots form the movie so you can see just how exciting they are. Hopefully some highlighting and bits will make hem look a little more interesting. But they are a big part of the story.





I know, they're hard to see, so maybe this will give an better idea.

Here are four more elements finished for my Purge army. These four elements were truly fun to paint due to the various masks and face paint, not to mention the clowns. There are two Warband elements and two Shooter elements.

Only four more elements to go to finish the army and am hoping the buildings I ordered for the Stronghold will arrive so I can get that done too.


Clowns – Warband


Sports Purgers – Warband


Ganger – Shooters


Another Ganger element – Shooters

Nicely nasty Terry. 

 

Nice, Terry. Strange that we've come to a time when the clowns appear, by far, the most threatening, total nightmare material! 

 

Those clowns look creepy!

VERY creepy.

Great job on those, Terry.

Thank you all. I am finding it interesting that it seems a common thought about the clowns being creepy! I hear it a lot, but hadn't thought of them that way. Actually, my being a zombie story fan I have over the years purchased a lot of zombie figures, of which these clowns are part of. They are intended to serve as zombies as purchased, but also seemed to work fine as living people, and since the fun theme of The Purge is a Halloween type theme where the baddies dress up and wear masks, etc. that seemed a perfect use for them (and the cheerleaders), as I didn't see a clown as a zombie I would want to do. They are made from a single pose casting that I tried to modify each a little, but the middle guy with the hunting knife on a broom handle is the stock figure with the weapon added. The cheer leaders are also sold as zombies.

Finished two more elements for the Purge - the "Smileys" and the Government Troops. Only leaves three to go, and it's finished. The buildings for the Stronghold arrived, so I'll start working on them too.


The "Smileys" - Mercenary troops brought in to help reduce the lower income families so the government doesn't have to take care of them!!! (Told you the scenario of the movies is appalling!!!) Sadly, the smiling faces painted on their Balaclava don't show up very well, but in person it make them very creepy looking.



The "Smileys" from a screen shot of the movie.




The Federal troops, brought in for the same reason as the Mercenaries. They are basically overall black, but in reality are painted a black-gray, shaded with true black and highlighted with a medium gray and then in a few key areas a lighter medium gray.
