This 28mm metal model is manufactured by "Crooked Dice Game Design Studio" and can be purchased either as part of the four-figure SKU: DEAL 339 Resistance Fighters, or separately as SKU: MINI 1192. A "fourth-year medical student and protégé of Doctor Rudolph Metz", this miniature has clearly inspired by Faye Grant's character, Juliet Parrish, in Kenneth Johnson's 1983 American science-fiction television miniseries "V".
The founder of the Resistance in Los Angeles, Parrish was initially undercoated using a mixture of "Vallejo" Surface Primer Black and "Warlord Games" Pitch Black, before being layered in "Citadel" Abaddon Black and enthusiastically dry-brushed with "Vallejo" Heavy Charcoal. I then applied plenty of "Citadel" Nuln Oil to her jumper, before re-applying some lines of "Citadel" Abaddon Black to her gun holster and shoulder-strap so as to slightly contrast them with her slightly shadowed clothing.
In addition I simply 'picked out' Juliet's trousers using a combination of Cold Corpse Blue by "Two Thin Coats" and "Citadel" Nuln Oil. To try and capture a likeness of actress Faye Grant's hair colour I also used some Skulker Yellow by "Two Thin Coats" on her locks, and darkened them down with "Citadel" Reikland Fleshshade. Finally, I gave them a quick dry-brush with (more) "Two Thin Coats" Skulker Yellow.
With my latest entry into the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge (AHPC) completed, I have turned my attention back to the two 28mm resin Volgan Yaks I recently received from "Warlord Games". My plan for these fearsome flyers is to utilise their silver paint-job as a zenithal highlight and then splosh them in Algae Green speed paint by "The Army Painter".
I haven't used any of these "revolutionary all-in-one" pigments before personally. But saw a Sonic Sledgehammer Studio video on "You Tube" where he used them, and thought the colour was spot-on for that of the comic book "fascist Russian government" robots. Unfortunately, what I have also noticed though is that I've super-glued the legs on my PPRK Burp Gun carrier the wrong-way round - and they aren't going to budge any time soon sadly, even with the sharpest of modelling knives.
Alongside my "A.B.C. Warriors" (or rather their hated opponents), I've also been progressing some more "Doctor Who" figures by "Black Tree Design". I'm planning on bringing this current sojourn into my backlog of the Penzance-based company's science-fiction sculpts to a end soon, so I can focus on other piles of potential. However, I still have a good score of miniatures I aim to complete now I've started putting my brush to them...
