Lestat Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Howdy folks, long time no see :D I recently managed to pick up a very limited power armoured model from Anvil Industries called Bad Santa. They did a short run of 40 models - which is about the length of time the molds last. He came as a 2-piece model - Santa himself and the present he's resting his foot on. He truely is a fantastic sculpt - absolutely no air bubbles or flash to clean up. I decided to go for a more traditional colour scheme for Santa and so he's ended up with green robes although I did keep the red for the armour. http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/PC160001.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/PC160002.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/PC160003.jpg I used a metallic medium from Vallejo for the snow. I painted it on and then built up layers of Hawk Turquoise and Skull White to try and get a more crystalline effect with the snow. http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/PC160004.jpg I'll get him finished over the next day or so and he'll sit in pride of place amongst the Crimbo decs protecting the presents from any unwarrented attention :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267896-pa-christmas-project/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonkin Arenis Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 He'd do great as Telion! :) That's an awesome model, imo - but he could have had black armour with a red robe instead, but each to their own :) Great job!

Lestat Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks for the input folks - glad to see he's spreading some Christmas cheer! I'm in two minds whether to do some candy cane striping on the grenade launcher. Theres those lovely ridge details that would look great picked out in red with a white-ish barrel.

Lestat Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Been finishing off Santa today. I'm pretty happy how he's turned out - theres one or two bits I need to touch up but overall I think he's pretty much finished. And I've just spotted a hair hanging off him in the pics :tu: Anyway, let me know what you think.

alex567 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 "Your on his list, he's checking it thrice, he's gonna label you all naughty not nice, santa claus is gunning you down" He's looking pretty cool, he looks pretty badass especially with that icy expression, he's probably yelling "freeze" at his victims. All bad puns aside, you gotta nice model there sir! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267896-pa-christmas-project/#findComment-3267839 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All bad puns aside, you gotta nice model there sir! Cheers! A bit of tidying up and a coat of of varnish (should it ever stop raining here) and I think he'll be done. And the puns weren't that bad - they gave me a giggle anyway :o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267896-pa-christmas-project/#findComment-3267862 Share on other sites More sharing options...

elohimalpha Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 This totally inspired me to put together a grimdark harbinger of Yuletide punishment myself! Hope you don't mind, and thanks!

Lestat Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 This totally inspired me to put together a grimdark harbinger of Yuletide punishment myself! Hope you don't mind, and thanks! By all means, carry on! But he wasn't my creation - he's a limited model from Anvil Industries (go check them out) that I was lucky enough to get one of. All I did was build the base and slap some paint on in more or less the right places :lol: Anyway, WAES HAEL to you all!
