Grenadier Umber Ripper / Mirliton Tasmania Devil

For this update, I present Grenadier's Umber Ripper (MM87 from their Monster Manuscript line from the mid 80s,) which is currently still available from Mirliton Miniatures but is listed as "Tasmania Devil."

I went with a mostly naturalistic color scheme, although his tongue was highlighted with a florescent  pink.  I somewhat regret this color scheme now though, as I think it might be interesting to see this figure painted in some really wild colors.  Maybe on flaming base.



Overall, a fun and relatively fast figure to paint.  Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more.

    Gorgeous, nice earth tones, then that tongue is screaming (nice that some classic Grenadiers are on the Mirliton range). Do they have all of the Monster Manuscript figures?

      Thanks! I wish they had all of them, but no, they have a random assortment.

    Hmm, Mirliton have some fun stuff. I like their "Fungoid". This guy is an enjoyable oddity even if the sculpt is very old school in style. I don't have a problem with your colours, monsters can be brown for the same reasons bears are brown, right? And that tongue really stands out this way.
