And a few more Pulp figures muster off the painting desk....

 My last weekend of freedom before the dreaded return to work tomorrow ....imagine Muttley from "Wacky Races" swearing amusingly.....! In between eating and drinking sessions, I managed to paint a few more of the Reaper figures for the Pulp Project.....


Chinese Villain - who will be added to one of the Warlord factions


Female Samurai number two from Bad Squiddo  - red themed clothing to tie her in to the Japanese faction


The last of The Three Samurai - Bad Squiddo again, dressed in red - not too sure about her lips, I may redo them


Bob Murch Pulp Figures Evil High Priestess - dont know what she will do, but perhaps the focus of a scenario at some point?


The High Priestesses assistant, with sacrificial dagger on a scarlet cushion....


The Reaper Femme Fatale - I decided she will be a French agent, hence the blue clothing


I have yet to decide on an appropriately suggestive French sounding name for her!

As an aside, here's an image of one of the major causes of delay in my painting ...


That's my painting chair she is sleeping on.....!

      Cheers Joe - I saw a painted example where the guy had written something a la Chandler " At 30 feet, she looked all class....at 10 feet, she looked all made up to look all class at 30 feet.....!"

    Great additions once again Keith and the first figure reminds me of the old Fu Manchu films we used to see as kids. As a retiree and now full time carer, I'm sort of not at work but at the same time am 24/7, if that makes sense. At least I don't have to worry about office politics but in contrast dealing with local government is, shall we say, rather exhausting and stressful!

      Cheers Steve - yes I can imagine - have had some exposure to dealing with that type of bureaucracy here too!

    Keith, you produce yet another fine group of Femme Fatales. The Japanese Samurai look superb and your Evil Priestess sublime. I try to imagine how you will fit all of these interesting figures into a game.

      Hmmm...I think you are over thinking it Jon - I am just buying figures I like the look of, and painting them! I suspect some may never feature in a game - OR they will just be extras as scene dressing.....

    Hi Keith, although I’m retired I’m part timing in a local dairy and I’ve 30 ton of Mozzarella to shift tomorrow. Wouldn’t go back into an office again whatever the pay was. That Japanese girl is hot. Love the kimono dress details. Keep up the good work.

      Cheers JBM - I have a notion I might carry on doing some kind of paid employment after my indenture expires in about five years - but it wont be anything like what I am doing currently!

    More great pulp figures Keith, and your choice of colours on these seems spot on.

      Thanks Lawrence - most of the examples of the European Femme fatale have her in red (A scarlet woman!) but as I have chosen red as the Japanese team colour, I had to do something different - I think she has come out well!
