Amazingly, I managed to finish more models from this set before 2024.
I finished Gozer and Slimer late last weekend, and so they were photographed and ready to have a post written about them, though I hadn’t had a chance to write and queue one yet. Both are a little more nuanced in hand than in these photos. Gozer’s skin and outfit have a ferw layers of pearlescent purple in the midst of the rest, so she has a nice sheen in hand that you only get a hint of in these pics. Slimer was painted with layers of mixes of Vallejo’s Mecha Colour Flouro Yellow and Green, with Citadel’s Tessaract glow added in towards the end for some shading.
We haven’t yet used any of these Ghostbusters models or characters ingame, but Gozer is a custom Abomination, while Slimer is actually a companion card to the Ghostbusters. Not sure how that works in practise, maybe something similar to the Zombicide Dog Companions?
Then there’s the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Unsurprisingly, he’s also an Abomination. I just completed this one late on Friday night/Saturday am. A tricksy one to paint, as it’s a large model without much detail and a smooth soft form.
I used Contrast Apothecary White with some greys mixed in at some points over a white prime, then drybrushing over the top. It’s a little manky, but I figure that’s okay since it’s representing an animated advertising dummy… thing in the “real world” rather than a fully-spectral creature like Slimer, so it doesn’t need to be perfect.
While neither Gozer nor Slimer are extra large and so may or may not count, Stay Puft certainly is large enbough to count for the Monster MAYhem challenge. This just leaves the four Ghostbusters to go for the three sets to be completed. They’ve been cleaned up, spray primed and given a wash, so once I complete the two “regular” Zombicide survivors and their Zombvivor counterparts that are on the painting desk, they’ll be next up!

Wow! That is a clean Mr Stay Puft! White is usually a pain to get right but I think you nailed it here.

Thanks mate, it’s far from perfect but it worked out okay – especially on something with such large smooth areas. It’s a perfect model for airbrushing, methinks! 🙂

Those are brilliant! The clean-ness of the white on the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man is really impressive and Slimer’s green is exactly the right shade. Bravo!

As said you nailed the white on Mr Staypuffed, but for me Slimer is the stand out! love how you ‘ve got him looking so “luminous”.
Cheers Roger.

Cheers mate – it certainly helped to use fluorescent paint to get that effect!

Slimer looks incredible! They all do, of course, but Slimer pops (as I’m sure you intended). I’ll have to note down your paint formula in case I ever need to recreate that neon green color.

Thanks mate – the keys are really the Vallejo Fluorescents, I think – and the Tessaract Glow for shading of greens/yellows.

All very nice, but I think Slimer has to be my favourite! 🙂

I’m with John in that I think Slimer looks a lot like the movie. Though having said that, he(?) is just about the only Ghostbusters character I know so I’m hardly an expert.. Its always cool to see something from a video game or movie in miniature form though and you did an awesome job on this slate of Ghostbusters minis!

Yup, Stay-Puff is great but Slimer wins it for me hands down, he actually looks like he would glow in the dark.

He actually appears a little bit luminous in low light thanks to the flourescent paints! 😄

Excellent work on all mate, for me Gozer is the stand out as that is a very tricky scheme to replicate.

Thanks Dave – the model’s pearlescent sheen just doesn’t come up in the pictures, unfortunately.
