Hasslefree Miniatures HFA042 Frank Cisco (Clint Eastwood as “Dirty” Harry Callahan)

A quick one for today – this model is one of Kev White from Hasslefree Miniatures’ sculpts. Named “Frank Cisco” it’s pretty clearly based on Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry Callahan in his outfit from the action scene early on in the film.

This one.

I picked up this figure some time ago to use in Zombicide, but it sat around in a case (like so many others) for years before getting the paint.

Now that I’ve painted the “official” *cough* Zombicide models, it was time to paint the more nicely detailed and proportioned Hasslefree version.

A nice thing is that the two figures have different outfits from different parts of the film, so there’s both the aesthetic choice based on the sculpt as well as the colour scheme when one of us draws this character for the game.

Daily posts for a bit now as I try to get the September backlog posted before we get too deep into October – here we go!

Marvel Crisis Protocol: Logan, the Wolverine - Rival Panels CPE03 Weapon X Program

Time to get some September models posted up, eh? Today’s post is the version of Wolverine in his civvies, so really in his alter-ego of Logan from the fancy Rival Panels boxed set.

I liked this model. It was a straightforward one to assemble and then also to paint. I based him on one of the generic city bases (after clipping off the curb) rather than the base that’s more specific to the Diorama base from the set, since I’m not really interested in displaying the models in that manner. I did leave the small tactical rock next to his heel, since I often add a little bit of grit and/or debris to my MCP bases.

The model also came with two head options – one with the cowboy hat and another bare-headed version. I felt if we’re doing Logan in his civvies I may as well go all the way. It also leaves me with a spare head to perhaps swap into a future Wolverine model as well for that cowl-off look that’s not uncommon to the comics.

I don’t think we have any painting challenges going for September, so I’ll just keep kicking along and painting my stuff until next month.

I know October usually gets loaded up with Orktober being at the very least an “unofficial” challenge between a few of us (I plan to be in on that one this year if others are doing it – IRO? Wudu?), Dreadtober usually running (and me failing to finish anything for the last few years!) and sometimes Zom’tober (Apocalypse Me?) because, I guess, Halloween being a thing. Anyone running that one this year? Dave?
