Meet Bertha!


Hello,

before we move on to lovely miniature that Bertha is, I'd just like to thank everyone that has ever found interest in my posts and even more so to people that regularly read my posts and comment on them. It really is appreciated and helps me slowly work on my projects. While I like converting and sculpting, I need a real kick to get things actually painted. I would also like to mention Brummie's pimping post and let you all know you've got it wrong. Brummie is a popular lad and sending him a little something was a step closer to WORLD DOMINATION! Hra hra hra (evil laugh)!

Anyways, I've been repainting (some more than others) horrorclix miniatures I got at Vampifans (hope you're holding on up there mate!). I've got three done that I'll show in separate posts, again, to keep up with my Strange Aeons bestiary "format".

Bertha will be used as a blasphemous construct, i.e. big zombie. And big she is. Also not at all feminine and quite disturbing. To make her fit better with my painting, I've decided to completely repaint here. I am not much of a painter and painting her was a huge fun (pun intended)!

Apart from being as hilariously gross as an obese naked undead can be, she also holds a cleaver - she is taking "Femme fatale" to a whole new level!
Nothing special on her front, some exposed skin (groovy!), a bib and thats about it.

It appears she sat somewhere else before, judging by a stuck lollipop, mmm cherry!
I've painted the ooze yellowish green for some added "eww" effect. As any true zombie, she was finished with a coat of TCR!

Below, a brave agent's hair rise as he sees the construct in the dark...YIKES!


Thanks for looking,
Mathyoo

  1. More of a "femme fatal" than a "femme fatale" then Mathyoo ?
    Well done on resisting the urge to over-do the gore.
    Great addition to you figure collection

  2. Nicely done. No-one i going to miss her in a hurry! She is looking surprisingly healthy for a zombie, maybe a watered down layer of green wash over some of her skin would give it an unhealthy glow? I've done something similar on my servitors (http://mythostransmissions.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/servitors.html), which seemed to work nicely. Sorry for the pimp, it made more sense to show than tell :)

    1. Thanks Paul, and welcome to the blog! I do get your point and now I can't really think of a reason for painting her skin as I'd do any other, healthy and living human. As for pimping, it never hurt to learn about another great blog, need to dig in those WWWII articles!

  7. That is a very scary figure no matter how many times I see it mate. Thanks again for the great figure and Beef Noodle soup!

    I can't help but think of all the classic horror films Hills Have Eyes, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original) now I've seen this figure.

    1. I really like it, it is one of a kind and spotted from a distance! :D

      No problem mate, and again, if you wouldn't told me about those hitmen, it would probably take me much longer to get you anything so it really isn't just me being all that thoughtful :P

  8. Exquisitely grotesque. Well done.
