I recently painted up a a bunch of "Dead Man's Hand Down Under" miniatures for a customer. The figures are 28mm from Great Escape Games. First up I present the Kelly Gang - I don't know which one is meant to be Ned, perhaps someone will spot the difference in his armour or something?
Although they are all dressed in a similar fashion, I have endeavoured to paint their long coats and trousers in different colours/tones. I'm pleased with how they turned out, and they were fun to paint.
More Bushrangers and State Troopers will follow in future posts.
Excellent work. They have a Gothic Horror or Steampunk vibe about them. The different colours used on the long coats really set them off.
ReplyDeleteHehe, I guess they must of looked pretty disturbing to the State Troopers who were out to get them.
DeleteI glad you liked them.
They came out great Jacksarge, interesting figures!
ReplyDeleteCheers mate - very familiar or iconic to your average Aussie :-)
DeleteThey look very nice. According to Frank Clune (Ned Kelly's Last Stand) only Ned had a helmet.
ReplyDeleteYes, a bit of a fantasy element to this version by Great Escape Games.
Deletevery nice. could you tell us which base colors you used, it looks like contrast paint?
ReplyDeleteThanks. I can't remember what colours I used as these were painted 10 years ago, before Contrast Paint was released.
