I've finished the figure itself so it up to throwing some paint around. I've been doing some more browsing to check out the colour schemes and this is when I find that a figure does exist for Sandman in the heroclix range.
I' reckon though that my figure still meets the criteria as I am using a different model that I've based mine on and my inspiration is drawn from a different comic era.I was chatting with Craig and he tells me the figure I'm going for was from a 90s revival rather than the original 30s/40s version.
Definitely aiming for the black and tan version now. I've added a whiff of sleeping gas to his modifed weapon, some straps to his gasmask and cuffs to his trousers. I'm not sure about the cuffs though. I see them on some illustrations but not others - and I still haven't seen any cuffs on actual gangster photos on the very limited research I've done. I'll see how it looks with a bit of paint on...
Great work HotT and I'm delighted to have found another blog to follow :-) Looking forward to seeing how your Sandman looks with a bit of paint.
ReplyDeleteYep smashing yet subtle work, John, so glad you took up the challenge I knew you'd turn out a corker.
ReplyDeleteCheers Roger. (I'll post this across to the FH site in a bit.)
Thanks guys :-) I've started the paint job and I'll do another update soon.
