Well almost, a flat coat to cut the sheen and some coffee in a cup. Otherwise these were the little folk that held me up. I'm new to them and not good at it to boot, so time stood still with them...Should be clear sailing from here!





They will be "dusted" once they are placed in the dio

John. You say you cannot do figures. Well I am sorry mate you are wrong. These figures look fantastic to me and will suit the clubmobile down to the ground.

I totally agree with Cliff's statement John. They look great.
When can we see it all together?

Thanks Gents on the compliments! This cast of characters is my first real try at figures and I was really hesitant on how to do them ,as well as how they came out! I guess I'm my own worst critic? I see figs here on the site all the time and it amazes me how folks get them to look so good. Dio is now coming along..more updates soon..Thanks again!

Ciao John,

Holly Molly John, they look great..... !!!!!

I like the face of the one guy, looks like he's got it stuffed with donuts, who makes him? Did you make the face? Where did you get him?

I hit the art store over in Dover yesterday, certainly not Pearl Paints, but prices are cheaper than Bolin's. No Series 7 brushes, but had airbrushes on sale, so YEP, bought another one.

John

In a word, outstanding! I really like those figures. I've been watching this dio come along, and can't wait to see it completed. Are these stock figures or conversions? The poses are so relaxed they fit right into the theme of the dio. You say that you are not to good at doing figures? If this is "not so good" I can't imagine what good looks like. Heres to a job well done.

Another great post. Well done figures, I'll have a donut or two please

Really small nit pick. The figure sitting and leaning on one hand, the boot 'gator' strap that goes under his boot should be the same color as the gator (OD).

It has been a while since the word Clubmobile was on my screen, but what a lovely bunch of figures are they...

I think you did an excellent job on painting them ! Can't wait to see them in the diorama.

Great work !!
