Traders Galaxy 2024 Painting Challenge - Botwar, Beat Em Up and Rise of the Democracy miniatures

Sorry to all those people that thought it was over. ?
So I wasn’t going to lie down and go out with a whimper, instead I cranked up the Ghetto Blaster with Survivor – Eye of the tiger and once again pumped some paint and generally got glue everywhere!
Swordana Ascendant was first. As I previously said I had altered the stance because I was always seeing a She-ra transformation, so I printed off a whilrwind to go round her lower half, then a made a kind of flaming spiral around the sword and then stuck some lightning at the top and bottom. I did have a 3D printed Grayskull entrance printed out, but alas, sometimes my ideas are bigger than the base! ?

Next up, I annoyingly found the Mongoose base, so I couldn’t use that excuse anymore, so I hurriedly made up the base with some standard scatter and a shot to the side of the vehicle.

After that it was back to Boston Jones. I started on him early on in February, but I wasn’t really happy with the print that I’d made, so gave up on him. But then 3 days ago he stared at me with those puppy eyes from the painting table and I thought I can do this. So yet another last minute change of plan. I managed to get him painted up to look a little more respectable. I added in to his empty fist a sword, because it was obvious what his base should be. So I made a rope bridge from cut up lollipop sticks and some garden twine. Then last night I got some Green Stuff and moulded a couple of cliff edges. painted a tiny river in the middle and if you really squint you might even see the 2 crocodiles.

The 1 Destroyer tank not destined for my diorama got a real simple base, but I took a picture with his brother that I did for my first Democracy force, last year.
I’ll get some group shots tomorrow and then I think I’ll enjoy a cold beer in a warm house for a change. ? Thanks for all the support and goodnight!
