Charles 1st Execution.

A 54mm project with figures depicting the scene outside the Banqueting House, Whitehall, London on January 30th 1649.
This was the execution of Charles 1st.
Made a little dio with a wooden scaffold made from balsa and ice lolly sticks. Backdrop is a picture I found on the internet. Figures are Call to arms Pikeman, Charles, executioner and bishop by Replicants and the Ironside is one I bought from an odds and ends box at a fair, unknown make.

Cuban Revolution

A set of ten figures in 54mm from russian manufacturer Engineer Basevich. Nice sculpts as usual, only a couple of things, first the figure with grenade in hand and thomson on his back has no visible sling, so I added one using a bit of milliput. Secondly I'm not keen on the two figures without bases, kinda odd one's out so I added them to each of the kneeling figures.

The Cuban Revolution was an armed revolt conducted by Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement and its allies against the right-wing authoritarian government of Cuban President Fulgencio Batista.
26 Jul 1953 – 1 Jan 1959

Garbage Pail kids - Minikins

Garbage Pail Kids is a series of trading cards/stickers produced by the Topps Company in the USA. They were designed to parody the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls, which were immensely popular in the mid eighties. Due to the popularity of the cards, in 2013 Topps started to produce little minifigures, called Minikins based on the cards and are sold in blind bags of x2 and x4 figures. They are small at about an inch high, and a mixture of plain coloured and factory painted figures are available. So far two series have been produced each with x26 characters in the set. The factory paint jobs are very basic and just cried out for a custom job by yours truly !

"Alien" Muscle figures - John Hurt

I had almost finished painting the last figure in this set of "Alien" Muscles by Super 7, when I heard the sad news that Sir John Hurt had passed away.
As a tribute to this fine actor I attach pictures of the three variants of his character "Kane" from the set, ...... Spacesuit, Face Hugger and Chestburster. I will post pics of the rest shortly.
