We’re almost at the end of August’s models today. Posting got derailed by a combination of work being busy and Marouda having the plague – necessitating us living in different parts of the house for 2 weeks, so I’m now trying to catch up on things.
First up we have Zombicide’s take on Amy Farrah Fowler from Big Bang Theory – The card art was actually pretty accurate to one of Mayim Bialik’s outfits in the show, so I just copied it outright.
Both of Amy’s figures are pretty mediocre in my opinion, and there are STL equivalents out there that I may look into sometime later on. Still – as I do often say – this one is finished and ready for gaming and will look totally fine at tabletop range.
Our next figure is another slightly disappointing sculpt – this time it’s based on Nicolas Cage’s Cameron Poe from Con Air. I guess you already knew that from the post title, though! The sculpt isn’t bad as such – it’s just kind of middling. Or “mid” as the kids these days say. The living sculpt might be a bit better if Nic didn’t look like he was falling backwards, because his leg position and centre of balance is all wrong for taking a swing. Ironically, the dead version does it much more effectively!
Let’s not forget, though, that while neither of these are true works of art in their completed form, they are just boardgame models in the end, and my own interest in painting them well does vary by how nice the models are – they are all subject to the “good enough” rule.

Excellent work on all four mate, the sculpts may be mediocre, but your painting of them is not !
Hope Marouda is feeling better soon.

All look more than fine to me! 🙂 Hope Marouda’s on the mend!

Oh, but your paintjob is much more than “good enough”! Amy Farrah Fowler’s sculpt is recognizable at once (which is the ultimate purpose of the mini), but I’m afraid that Cameron Poe’s face would need a more accurate sculpt. Anyway, both of them are delightful! Hope you enjoy them and you leave plague and quarantine home issues behind!

The sculpts might not be the best but your paint job has brought the best out of them.
Cheers,
Pete.

Agreed on the sculpt quality. They just don’t quite capture either person’s likeness. Your paint work really brings them to life however and I reckon there isn’t much more someone could do to elevate any of these minis.

Great painting as usual. You must have hundreds of these by now, no?
