Draconis: Spring Clean 2024 and onward

18th April 2024

Another post covering the last few days….

Spring clean prompted me to look at my pending projects, odds and ends etc. One thing on my list has been to paint up more Deadzone Strike Teams. A lot of my stuff is from the first Kickstarter, so has a lot in the ‘resin plastic’ material that can be quite hard to clean up. But anyway, I grabbed a few of my marauder commandos and sent pics to some friends.

One friend said she thought this guy looked like he was having a great time, and could do with an Hawaiian shirt…… Even though I don’t think I can replicate an actual Hawaiian shirt I thought I’d just give it a go. It (likely) wont be the scheme that I roll out for the Marauders though (which will probably be in a separate project anyway I expect), so rather than being a test piece for the scheme it will just be a bit of fun.

I don’t have a name for him yet, that will come to me at some point I hope. However, he has had his combat coat made out of the same material that he has seen on documentaries about the ‘ummies, so that he can blend in easily. Also, he grabbed his quietest gun, for ‘stelff’. Then he had the kunnin’ thought that if one gun was stelffi then two guns would be double stelffi! So he grabbed his next quietest gun too! There will be a couple of other stelff things that I may try to add – just see how it goes.

Snipped off the cast on plastic base and got him sprayed up, ready to work on.
