The latest addition to the team is apparently called Dr Friedman, and is a 'mad' scientist (apparently specialising in chemistry) from the Reaper Chronoscope range.
He was given to me as part of the annual 7TV Secret Santa on the 7TV Productions Facebook group, where willing participants are paired up and exchanged unwanted miniatures from their lead pile as gifts. It's a nice little tradition I've taken part in for several years.
This year I sent off and eclectic group of Grenadier Sci-Fi cops, a suited pulp thug, a mummy and a dog. In return I received three Artizan Designs field agents from their Kiss Kiss Bang Bang range, and the esteemed Dr Friedman.
As with all Reaper Miniatures, Dr Friedman is I really crisp and clean sculpt which needed minimal cleaning. The model lacks extraneous detail and so was quite quick to paint, especially as I mainly used contrast paints as my base coats and highlighted up.The bottles were hit with a touch of gloss varnish to give them an appropriate shine.
I used to really worry about large expanses of white, but I've become a lot more calm about the whole thing. Yes, the pain could be smoother, but this isn't a dress uniform or a superheros cape, it's a lab coat. It's going to be a bit worn.
All in all I'm happy with this one. And unexpected arrival, but pleasing nonetheless.

Great work on this madman, and nice when these gift swaps work out.
ReplyDeleteI'm the 7TV group they usually do as it's such an eclectic game.
