An MSB TOYS collection from the vault

Here's a set of figures from MSB toys that I painted between 2005 and 2006.

It is certainly a very eclectic collection! ;-)

Some of these were still fun to paint, though...

Gotta have zombie pirates!

And zombie Firemen!

And Angels...

All the fishes in the sea...

Here's one last set of Eastern Front Studios miniatures.  For a while, they had a whole sea thing going on.  You had the sea hag...

This squid/octopus guy...

And the seahorse riders.  I am sure these were sculpted by Gael Goumon.  Definitely his style!

Those seahorse riders were definitely fun to paint!

It's for the birds... Odin

OK, another colossal big guy from Eastern Front Studios!

This time, it's Odin.  I think the plaque is 4 inches across, to give you an idea of size.

Obviously, a big pile of baked sculpey carved away to create the ice base!

I will be doing an ice pile on one of the kickstarter painting videos "Painting the Blues away", since that will be a great exercise is painting many different shades of blue!

The freehand was very fun.

The Big Guy...

The Big Head...

More freehand...

Big Bird!

Touch this and you will get more than warts...

Time for another piece from the archive... a giant toad!  This was from Eastern Front Studios.

The base is a wooden plaque that is probably 6 inches across.

I think this is one of the first things I ever painted using my book of reptiles, amphibians and bugs as reference.  Eventually I would use it as a guide for all of my Lizardman army.

Since this was so huge, it let me choose a much more complicated pattern, which was fun!  You get a good look at that here.

I made the rocks, lilipads, etc., from sculpey.  Once that was baked and painted, I glued it to the wooden plaque.

My, what big teeth you have!

Close up of the base.  I painted several transparent layers on the 'water' part, using some gloss varnish in between each one.  This was faster and easier than trying to do it all with one of those water effects products.
