The Project Project

So the first set of minis I’m working on this year don’t have their own project log on the site but there was always an intention that they would. I’ve had the Brother Vinni Mutant Turtles (https://brother-vinni.com/products/copy-of-vigilante-miniature-brother-vinni) for a while and the intention of playing them in Pulp Alley 2nd edition. That means painting up the minis, working on some terrain and learning the rules… let’s aim for a month turn around shall we?

The Minis:

I try to take a week’s holiday in January as we don’t close over Christmas except the public holidays. One of the benefits of taking time off after everyone else has gone back to work is you don’t need to come up with lame excuses for staying home and painting toys. Here’s what I’ve got to work on this week then:

Good guys – all four turtles, Splinter, April and Casey Jones

Bad guys – Shredder, Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady, and 9 Foot Clan (3 each of pistol, katana and bo staff)

So 20 in total. Obviously the least fun ones to paint are going to be the foot clan so that’s where I started.

Paints used:

• Cloth
  • GW Contrast Black Legion, highlighted with Warpaint Fanatics Deep Grey
  • Vallejo Royal purple, highlighted with Warpaint Fanatics Alien Purple
• Wood Warpaint Fanatics Oak Brown
• Skin Warpaint Fanatics Barbarian Flesh
• Eyes Warpaint Fanatics Daemonic Yellow
• Foot logo Warpaint Fanatics Pure Red
• Metallics GW Leadbelcher
• Pouches on rear of models Warpaint Fanatics Desert Yellow
• All over wash with Marine Juice. This is a wash made up from different products that I have multiple bottles of. Originally it was one bottle each of Nuln Oil, Reikland Fleshshade and Lahmian Medium. The products have changed over the last few years so the newer version that I’ll have to switch to eventually is found here https://youtu.be/kDOkiEcNcik?si=xOQnURCY72VE9dRS
