vindicareassassin Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 What I have here is the Four horsemen of the Apocalypse, mastered by Michael Kontraros in 54mm. I've decided to do a WIP thread for these as it's going to take a while to do all 4 and build a display base for them. First to the bench is Pestilence....... ( I apologies for the half-bottomed phone camera pictures, I will make more effort next time I promise)...... While the horses pose is very dramatic I can assure you the 'Boing!" factor is annoyingly high 😒 Thanks for looking Sean 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only attached by one leg to the base and its made of resin so when you try to do anything to him he springs are around like zebedee from The Magic Roundabout 😉 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vindicareassassin Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 WIP update.... 54mm scale, The Riders of the Apocalypse have all been made, and Pestilences steeds flesh and cloth are well on their way, B&W to check tonal values. Personal challenge with this project will be basing, as I detest doing it at best and this set didn't come with its originally intended base as it went out of production before the riders and geegee's did!?

vindicareassassin Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 Apologies but I dropped a boob and only took WIP pics of Pestilence himself on my phone so they've not made it to here. That said here is the finished piece..... I'm doing a bit of deliberate practice on a pallet cleanser before starting the next rider so stay tuned Thanks for looking Sean 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critique has been varied on the ethereal glow from not at all, to just the eyes, to not bright enough, I've gone with sorting the not bright enough and it looks a lot better now, than in those pics, a lot brighter and more "glowey" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just so incongruous and ordinary, it really brings the hideous, plague ridden beast and rider into stark contrast with the mortal realm. Painted to perfection! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vindicareassassin Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 A small update..... Put the finishing touches to Pestilences eyes as I didn't feel they glowed enough, and finished Famine himself..... I think Death will be next.....
