Rose Tyler - Doctor Who Miniatures

This month I have two miniatures meant to represent Rose Tyler (played by Billie Piper) from Doctor Who. 

First is Warlord Games' Rose Tyler from the Tenth Doctor and Companions set. 

The likeness on this sculpt is excellent, but like other figures in the line the lack of exaggeration makes the faces really difficult to paint.  I left out some of the clothing details but based my color choices on this picture:

I also happened to have Crooked Dice's (no longer available for obvious reasons) Daisy Taylor figure, which is obviously based on Rose as well.  So I went ahead and painted her up at the same time.

The likeness is not nearly as good, but the deeper details on the face made it much easier to paint.  I decided that rather than have two figures with exactly the same clothes, I would base her colors on the outfit seen below.

If you've been paying attention, you'll know that I have one more companion to paint from this set, so that will likely be my next post.  I've got a lot of other figures, Doctor Who-related and not-related, that I am itching to paint, so stay tuned!

Female Soviet Super Soldier

Just a quick Heroclix repaint this month.  I took a Heroclix figure of Marvel Comics' Mankiller and painted her to look like a cheesy 1980s-era Soviet super soldier type of character.

Here is a stock photo of what it looked like before the repaint.

 

 Hopefully my next post will be of some of the Doctor Who minis that are currently primed and covering my painting table right now.  Stay tuned.

Wilfred Mott - Doctor Who Miniatures

Back to Doctor Who miniatures this month, with Wilfred Mott, Donna's grandfather and a very endearing character from the show.

I'm relatively happy with my work on this one, although I find the faces on this line of figures difficult to paint for some reason that I can't quite put my finger on.

I'm glad to be able to find time to get back to painting again and promise there is more to come.  Stay tuned.
