Movember continues with more pulp-themed miniatures. This time around, my last remaining Pulp Figures<\/a>: some Weird Villains!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From L-R, as Bob Murch has named them: The Crimson Scorpion, Stahl Mask, Dr. Price, The Creeping Claw and Mr. X! Also, a random Nazi officer that Bob Murch included with my last order, for no other reason than he seems to be a swell guy. (I mean Bob, not the Nazi. To be clear: there isn’t a fucking Nazi in the world who I would consider to be a “swell guy”.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can barely see Dr. Price’s “John Waters” mustache; but fear not, I have painted a miniature with epic facial hair in honor of Movember! Stahl-Mask’s walrus mustache is legendary; it’s a shame you can’t see it under his, well, his stahl-mask. Stahl-Mask is one of only a few Pulp Figures with more than one sculpt (Dr. Koo<\/a> is another). I’m pretty sure this is Bob’s original version of the dastardly German, but I could be wrong.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You may notice my Creeping Claw has a hook for a hand. This is my own addition. My miniature was missing his right hand, so I used the hook from the Heroclix Aquaman I cannibalized earlier this year to make my Aquarian<\/a> submission for Forgotten Heroes<\/a> (I never throw anything away). I like the way it looks; very pulp villain-ish. And now he has an actual claw!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Up next: some pulp doctors! These three are from RAFM<\/a>‘s old Call of Cthulhu line, and I’m pretty sure they’re also sculpted by Bob Murch! (Small world, eh?) These guys were a lot of fun to paint. I’m glad I decided to bang out all my pulp models this month, otherwise these fellows were likely to remain pretty low on my priority list. I really like the guy in the middle, as he could easily work for an Old West sawbones just as well as a pulp-era physician.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a “before” shot of the surgeon, as in “before he\u00a0applied serrated blade to his grisly work.” (Actually, I just like how this picture came out, so I figured I’d include it.) For the blood, I used Citadel’s Blood for the Blood God technical paint, which is\u00a0awesome (IMHO).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lastly, another “doctor” of sorts; this one a professor of Archaeology! Another RAFM miniature, this is “Drake Harrington”, from their new Call of Cthulhu line. His resemblance to a certain whip-wielding archaeologist isn’t accidental, I’m sure (even though there’s no whip to be seen). I like the miniature, but I would have liked some variety in his hand choices. I’m not wild about the lantern, mainly because I can’t paint object source lighting effects very well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I added this rope to the model because I think it looks cool. Then I mounted him on a scenic base, which unfortunately contains a human skull with dimensions noticeably bigger than Drake Harrington’s own head. Oh well.<\/p>\n

Next post: some real dummies!<\/p>\n
