and I'm not likely to have anything finished to post up... the ghouls have some paint on them (but not enough) and my first attempt at a fairy ring hasn't quite worked so need to have another bash at that... Angel's gang has slowly been getting some recruits as well, but they need a bit of a g/s session.
It's all very Folk Horror at the moment, especially as I've been given the Lore of the Land as an early Christmas present - lots of bits about English folklore that has given me some ideas... to hell with brooms, I need some hurdles!

+++INPUT+++MECHANOIDS+++INPUT+++
some classic Who Mechanoids...
from an admittedly not so random question now I think about it to a 3D print to this, now available from Ainsty as the Mechanot... and it's the same shiny silver problem I had with the Giant Robot, shading and super shiny are beyond me so they have more of a lived in air to them...
I've change a bit from the Ainsty model/original design (which has three sensors in a triangular pattern) - I want to do some identifiers on the front panel, so filled that in with g/s - need to work on those decals at some point... another divergence is the area below the antenna... I did toy with paint in the white balls (or could have done some conversion work to add them in), but decided to inject even the slightest bit of colour in there so tried for a pale blue glow to suggest a power source within...
have also left the bases for now, as I'm entertaining ideas on doing a space station build again... so they could be deck plate or they could be dirt/gravel and grass...
so, pending decals and deciding on the base, done for now...

ECW Ghouls...
have been slowly g/s stuff to get some ECW ghouls from the Warlord placcy stuff and the Mantic placcy Ghouls...
first off Mantic Ghouls with g/s puffy trousers and shredded Llewellyn-Bowen shirts, some of the orginal rags should make for decent enough shredded stockings...
a mix of Mantic and Warlord bits for a more recently departed (or more careful) ghoul... sadly, the Mantic stuff is a little too big for the Warlord plastics, but with the more action poses you can get away with the head and arms ok... I do have some more planned, but the pose means they may have to use the original Warlord head and I'll need to be a bit more creative... but I've g/s'd out at the moment...
and finally, the above, mixed in with some standard fantasy rag Mantic ghouls...

introducing the Mechanot...
remember this fella?
now in resin with some lovely brasswork...
I have to say, it looks great, the brasswork has really brought this up to another level... even if I do say so myself ...
I should be getting hold of some shortly, so painted versions to follow, but it's available from Ainsty now.

Angel Blake again...
Angel Blake now with added prongs...
removed the old crown, losing the top of the hair in the process, and added a new one made from some etched brass cedar twigs from Hasslefree... replaced the missing hair with greenstuff, slight superglue accident and then was regretting my choice til it got painted... looks much better now... the heavy handling wasn't much good for the nipples though, so they got painted again and heavily glossed before the dullcote...
have noticed a few other spots of dirt now on the skin, and I've dullcoted, so need to have a worry at those... dammit...
and also been working on getting some of the Mantic ghouls upto the 17th Century...

Angel Blake...
another one for my vague Folk Horror project...
Angel Blake from Blood on Satan's Claw
one of the sub-boob shadows looks a bit heavy handed there, so that'll get touched up... but quite happy with the skin tones
not very happy with the crown of thorns (or hawthorn or whatever it is... any botanists in?), it was never going to be as fragile as in the film... (actually, is it mistletoe?)
but what looked ok when I was working on it (it's actually some 28mm scale barbwire), not so much now... has lost it's pronginess and pale grey wood I'd intended didn't really stand out very much against the pale hair and pale skin... am half considering some leaves to make it a bit more bramble-ish... not sure...
and got a bit more adventurous with my basing and added some purple heatherish touches...
UPDATE - new prongs here
