Meet a Mummy!

Before I start- 20,000 hits! THANKS GUYS! It is but a minor milestone, but a milestone nonetheless! Next goal - a million! :D

Today is my little country's 22th Birthday. I wanted to make a bit bigger post about it, but to keep things hobby related, I've decided not to. If anyone is interested there is an "okay" article about our War of independence on Wiki. I'd just let you know I'd be more than happy to chit chat about it on private, if anyone is interested :P.

Back to hobby, not much has been done lately. I am doing some basing and a bit of painting, but luckily I got this and one other post prepared from a while ago!

Got another horrorclix "repaint" for you today. It is a mummy. Comes in handy in Strange Aeons and I really like this sculpt. Actually I am really into lots of horrorclix stuff from the sculpt perspective, as they're very original. This one carries a sarcophagus with it!

There isn't much I can say about it, I tried washing and drybrushing the mummy and its sarcophagus, but it didn't really work out. So the biggest change I've made is pain the glow on the eyes. I am thinking about making a net on the sarcophagus from UHU glue strings or something, but I am not sure yet. It is based on 30mm base and that is about it.


As usual, here is a daring shot of explorer finding the reanimated Pharaoh! Had my painting skills been better, I'm sure you'd think it is from the movie!

Thanks again for all the support, just posting this post gives me a little boost to go finish what's on my painting table!

  2. Happy B Day for your country. Many happy and peaceful years to come I hope.

    Now on to the important things..... The figure looks really good. The blue headdress is spot on (Lapis Lazuli was mined in Afghanistan and gives that very distinctive blue colour). You have obviously done your research to get the colours right.

    1. Mined in Afghanistan? That's interesting! I haven't painted the mummy itself, it is a prepaint. I only did the eyes. But then again, I would use the same colors, as Tutankhamon's death mask just screams mummy :P. I always wanted to be an Indiana Jones :(

  3. The mummy looks great; I've never really considered Horrorclix models before, but I may have to investigate them in more detail. Out of curiosity, is the arm actually sculpted into the sarcophagus lid, or is it possible to remove it?

    1. Neither did I, but when I got a chance to pick some up, I've quickly changed my minds.
      Mummy's arm and one foot are glued on the sarcophagus, I think you could get them apart...but then you'd have a dancing mummy :P

  4. I still say that the adventurer is pointing his gun in the wrong direction :-) . Still, that's a very nice mummy (and happy country birthday).

    1. You need to turn your imagination on, Colgar! It is dark, he moves towards right (gun pointing), hears something behind him, turns the lamp to see better and thats it.

      You didn't see too many horror movies, did you? :P

    2. All the ones I saw had stupid teenagers going to investigate noises instead of running away ;)

    1. Cheers mate, hard to blow it when you don't do much :P. Time does run by indeed. I can't say I remember much from those times, but I surely feel like it's been centuries since I was a little lad :D

  6. Congrats on your country's anniversary of independence and the 20K hits. Well done. I also like the Mummy. The Brendan Fraser movies are a staple at our house, well mostly the boy and I.
