I am a fan of Bob Murch's Pulp Figures. This was 3 packs of PCS-09 Chinese Bearers from his China Station range. It was intented to be completed as part of the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge but due to time constraits it wasn't finished in time. They are intented to serve as for a backdrop for Daredevil Adventures taking place in China of the Warring Warlords period. Ideas flow, a party of porters hired by a scientific expedition, a forced work gang for a local warlord, or dockhands on a river side seaport.
I choose to work on these figures as I completed the Sampan. I figured a work crew unloading the boat was a great combination. I also tried something a little different with some of the bases. The other night I saw a Youtube video where it was suggested using cut up stir sticks to provide a wooden planking on the base. I applied this effect to approximately six figures to create the impression that they are engaged in work on a wooden wharf or pier.
I also completed a separate barbarian warrior miniature. I'm unsure of its origin, but it was a slot-a-base mini. I wanted to experiment by clipping it off at the soles of the feet to see how it would attach to a base. The inspiration came from the concept of mounting figures on clear bases. Although I didn’t have any clear bases at hand, I was eager to test how straightforward the process would be.
