Another nice long post title today. I actually went out of my way to shorten it by putting these two BBT homage models together rather than posting the models in chronological order of getting ’em finished.
Painting Raj and Bernadette brings us 4 of the 6 BBT models painted. Remaining are Amy and of course, Sheldon. Unfortunately, while I’ve managed to get the Zombvivor version of Sheldon (or “Dave”) I haven’t got the living version and haven’t yet found a particularly good proxy aside from one half-decent STL on MMF.
Painting both of these was pretty straightforward in the end as their card art was very repesentative of some of their common outfits in the show.
Bernadette’s busy, floral dress is the biggest reason that I took so many years to even attempt her, but a potential solution came to me one night a week and a bit ago while trying to get to sleep. Stippling with a few key colours and then some tiny dabs.
Ultimately, it’s not a perfect representation or Golden Demon-winning, but I think I pulled it off – certainly well enough for a tiny boardgame model.
Raj’s outfit is likewise taken pretty much directly from the show. Perhaps the fatigue pants on my model are a little greener, but GIS appears to shows a few shades of green/brown/olive/khaki, so again, I’m happy with it for the tabletop.
I’m out of interesting things to write about these two. I guess I should get (back) onto painting Amy and have another poke around to find a suitable Sheldon so we can have a Big Bang-themed run through some Zombicide missions!

Very nice! 🙂 The floral dress has come out really well! I may not be a fan of Austin Powers but I do like the Big Bang Theory!

Thanks John! Two more characters to go – one is on the desk right now and I’ll have to figure out a Sheldon Solution at some stage…

Excellent work on both sets of figures, and your solution to the floral dress works perfectly, before you wrote how you did it, I was thinking that pattern must have taken ages ! LOL

Thanks Dave! Well, it kinda did simply by causing me to put off painting the figure for several years! 😮

Unlike John, I’m not a fan of Big Bang Theory because I hate fun in all its guises! With that said, the dress looks top-notch and I could recognize the character right away so that has to be a sign that you nailed it, mate.

BBT is one of those shows that I came to late, enjoyed it well enough because – hey, references to things I know! (even if a lot of them are slightly incorrect) and then eventually just never got around to watching anymore.
I’d actually like to rewatch it from start to finish sometime, but I doubt I’ll ever have that kind of time spare…

I can certainly relate to what you’re saying. TV shows and movies fall beneath gaming and hobbying for me. There just isn’t enough time for all of them!

Nice! Great work on both figures. TV is just research for gaming isn’t it?

I haven’t really ever watched the show, just some brief clips. But I do recognize the characters/actors. Have to say really nice freehand on that dress. While it might just be a bit of stippling, it easily reads as a floral dress pattern. Fantastic!
