WizKids WK90047 Deep Cuts Miniatures Raptors (D&D Monster Manual 100)

WizKids WK90047 Deep Cuts Miniatures Raptors

OK, so these are not exactly the “big moment” I was hoping to have for my 100th D&D Monster Manual post, but these are the models I got painted in January that fit the bill, and so it is very much a cas of it is what it is.

This pair of chicken precursors were found in a tub of figures when Marouda and I were searching for a specific robot-type model (that we still haven’t found) for a whole different sort of project. I spotted this pair, in their pre-primed “glory” and decided that the pair of them would probably paint up pretty quickly, and even if I have no specific use for them right now – painted is always better than not painted. So that’s what happened shortly afterward.

As with the last post’s model, these two count as fodder for Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26,

Update: Tried the hot water to fix Spidey’s posture and it turned out pretty decently.

It’s been a good while since I finished a Marvel United figure, and this one had been on the painting desk for some time.

This figure has a bit of an issue with leaning. In that it’s leaning forward at a ridiculous angle for any kind of miniature, as you can see in these photos.

I guess I could dunk his upper half in boiling water in an attempt to reset the model with heat – the issue with that of course is the risk of completely screwing up the model as well as the paintjob. It’s the sort of thing I should have done before painting, if I’d noticed it at the time.

Still, looking at his shins and calves there, they’d end up with quite the weird bent-back shape if I did that as well – so I’m not entirely sure what to do about that. Quite annoying, since aside from the weird angle he’s perched on, I’m not at all unhappy with the paintjob on this figure.

On the other hand, this photo shows a bit more of how the model will look from the “above” angle that you’d see when playing with the figure in the game. Not exactly endraring, is it? Either way, this figure counts towards Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26, and is the first in my little “Men in Black” series of models for January. Unusually for me, the next two posts will NOT be the Marvel Zombies and Crisis Protocol versions of this version of Spider-Man.
