As mentioned in my previous post, I have also completed these two Chinese figures for the Pulp Project, one by Pulp Figures and the other from the Copplestone Back of Beyond range. They are both great sculpts, full of character, and will be perfect opponents for the ladies of various other contingents, when the time comes (they will probably be more than a match for most of the men too!)
The figure on the left is Copplestone, that on the right Pulp Figures
Four views of the ambidextrous swordswoman
Bob Murch is a great sculptor of individual figures like these
Here are four views of the Copplestone figure
I think we all agree, Mark Copplestone is another great figure sculptor
Lastly this evening, I assembled RCW field gun and tidied up the Bolshevik crew
Painting may be a bit in the future but this is going to be a great addition to the forces of freedom, equality and brotherhood!
Those Chinese figures are great, nicely posed and a lovely paint job Keith. Looking forward to seeing the artillery and crew painted up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve - lots more to go, plus the extras en route from Noble Knight in the US when they eventually arrive, but next up will be some Italian and French troops
DeleteNice to see your efforts coming along for your PULP FICTION- good going there KIETH. Cool here at present- just the right temperature for comfortable painting. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kev, it's pretty warm here currently but WET. We have had rain for over a week, although the gaps between showers are gradually lengthening
DeleteYou are gathering a very good collection of characters. That gun / crew is going to make a nice base.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm! In all honesty, I probably have too many characters but they are fun to paint!
DeleteMurch is a terrific sculptor with a very distinctive style. I am interested in seeing where you are headed with your Pulp project.
ReplyDeleteYes he is Jon. Hopefully I am headed towards a game or two next year, but who knows...like many collections, once completed, they may languish in their storage boxes, not seeing the light of day!
DeleteI wanted to get some of Mr Murch’s cavemen but the postage costs eventually put me off. His sculpting is excellent. Really like all of the stuff you’ve had from him - full of character.
ReplyDeleteHi JBM. Totally understand your hesitancy...but you can get a lot of his range from Caliver, and any they don't have can be bought from Northstar...that's where all mine came from!
DeleteVery characterful young ladies… I’m sure that they will cause some trouble.
ReplyDeleteThe gun is very nice as well… I look forward to seeing it all painted up.
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly, plenty t keep me occupied over my three week summer holiday that commences on Christmas Day.
DeleteNice painting on those classic Pulp figs, Keith.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dean.
DeleteGreat looking minis sir!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal
DeleteVery characterful figures. Look forward to seeing the artillery piece completed
ReplyDeleteThanks Scotty. It might be a wee while till I get around to painting it, but hopefully the results will be worth the wait.
DeleteNot familiar with the Pulp line of figs, but I have dabbled in Copplestone: they are fantastic! And of course, your rendering of these warrior maidens does both sets of sculpts justice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ed - they are both nice ranges - I just wish Mark Copplestone was adding to his ranges but what he has produced are very nice indeed. Bob Murch also has some nice historical ranges - he has some greens of 1066 Normans on his website that look impressive!
DeleteLovely work Keith, and they are great figures as you say. I especially like the lady with two swords; very dynamic.
ReplyDeleteCheers Lawrence, yes, she is probably the most dynamic of the ones I have in hand, although there is another standing in a Kung Fu/Karate type stance (or whatever the Chinese version of unarmed combat is...!)
DeleteUm, that would actually be Kung Fu........:)
DeleteYeah I think so Andrew!
DeleteLovely pair of Oriental ladies and the artillery piece looks useful!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks a lot Iain :)
DeleteCharacterful and beautiful figures rross!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil
DeleteAre you painting in batches of 2 these days? 😀
ReplyDeleteBut hey, it’s more than I’ve done lately so keep it up!
These look especially cool.
Hi Stew, when they are individual characters like these I tend to paint in smaller numbers
DeleteSome great new additions to the force Keith.
ReplyDeleteBatches of two certainly get them to the table quickly.
Cheers
Stu
Haha yes that's true Stu...or, at least, gets them table-ready...when they will actually see any action is another matter entirely!
