Zoiks! It's the Scooby Doo gang! |
They've been some time in coming but here is my latest bit of painting for Geoff. It consists of a few more Black Tree Designs British infantry for the Zulu Wars and the Scooby gang from Hasslefree Minis. Also included are Kick-ass and a couple of kids in school uniform with rather aggressive attitudes towards zombies.

Geoff wasn't sure about the colours of the gang - in particular Fred's white sweater, but as I started painting them I just felt myself going with the traditional colours rather than the planned more muted shades. I just couldn't stop thinking that I was painting the Scooby gang - anything else just felt wrong! Hopefully he is happy with the result.

All five figures together |
Geoff came into possession of a few more Black Tree Zulu Wars British figures. The bayonets were broken and so he converted them up and replaced them with green stuff and plasticard. Unfortunately two broke off in transit. He said just to paint them rather than try to replace them as they would probably just break off again, so that is what I did. He added green stuff NCO stripes to two figures as well and made quite a good job of it.
I took these photos on my phone rather than with the camera. Not sure if I might just go back to the camera as these are not as clear as I would like.
Next on the painting tray - 28mm Samurai civilians and a Russian regiment for the GNW.

Exceedingly good looking figures. Can't wait to see those Russians.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul. They shouldn't be too far away.
DeleteIncredible paintwork. The Scooby gang look like they've just stepped out of my TV screen. Where's the Kick-Ass figure from?
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim. Kick-Ass is the Aaron figure in the Hasslefree Minis Modern Adventurers range.
DeleteD'oh! If I'd bothered to look I probably could have figured that out for myself ;-) Keep up the great work!
DeleteWonderful painting Nate. I look forward to seeing these guys in the flesh!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rodger. I've still got a little more painting to do before they are dispatched - this is only a third of what Geoff sent me!
DeleteI would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddlesome and excellently painted miniatures! Bravo, shades of my childhood there.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how wetsuit guy fits into it. :)
Lovely figures all around.
Thanks Michael. I think everyone has fond memories of Scooby Doo.
