Inner Earth adventurers

Assuming he is happy with what I've done, these fine chaps will be headed for a plane to the UK in a couple of days time to find their home with Tim Knight of the world famous Heropress blog. The figures are by Antediluvian Miniatures and are lovely sculpts to paint.
The three adventurers together
Raquel Scotch appropriately attired for prehistoric frolics.

Professor Peter Cushion, armed with an umbrella and a Death Star (no? wrong movie?)
Shug McClure, spear at the ready.
And just to prove that I do paint the back side (ooo...er), the three from the rear.
Don't ask me what possessed me to paint a pinstripe on the professor, I guess it didn't come out too bad. Peter Cushion had an adventure of his own to get here. On her sixth birthday my daughter thought it would be fun to throw a bouncing rubber ball around the house. I believe that she was seeking vengeance for Alderaan, and got it, knocking off the professor and breaking his umbrella. Despite a pretty good repair job I decided that it was only right to replace the figure, so this is actually a second figure delivered in very speedy fashion by Antediluvian miniatures. The ball has since been appropriately punished.

    A terrific trio Natholeon. I'm a big fan of these minis and the range and you've done a top job on all three of them :-)

      You should never let balls get away with anything... It only encourages them.

      Thanks Rodger. The kids haven't even asked what happened to the ball yet. Out of sight, out of mind.

      Well, you are on the other side of the world, so I guess that meets the definition world famous. Glad you like them.

      Thanks Michael. Certainly ordering the replacement was no hassle at all, so if you needed an endorsement...

      Thanks. They took me an evening to paint - well worth it.
