This base was fashioned in honor of the "crashed plane" sculpture that the city, in its infinite wisdom, placed right in front of the main bus/train terminal that leads into Midway Airport.
I am not sure what it was supposed to be, but it is made of polished steel of some kind, and looks just like a plane has crashed, with the tail sticking up out of the ground.
So, I could not resist making one as a base for the Archon's Venom!
It was a very fun base to make, and must be the most painting I have ever had to do on a 60mm base!
I continued the same "Broken Blade" color scheme and freehand as I have done on the smaller bases.
I also started to slap some colors on the Archon's venom. Yes, I realize that I will never be able to hide this thing behind cover, but it doesn't seem to matter much with the new rule set anyway...
I figured that I would just have myself some fun with the bases instead! :-)
As a side note to Jim's explanation of the modern art sculpture at Midway Airport, which we both agreed looks like wreckage, as soon as I saw this base, I asked him if it was supposed to be like the "crashing plane" sculpture. Great minds twist alike, I guess. :D
ReplyDeleteI have been so tempted to paint an airline logo on that thing...
