Clint Eastwood as the "Good" Man With No Name and Lee Van Cleef as the "Evil" dude - always for some reason being mean to helpless extras - with Eli Wallach along for the ride - are my entry for Coruscant - completing the Middle Ring. Time for a Warp Maelstrom journey to the central ring in a desperate attempt to catch up and complete the quadrant quest before winter has gone!
The figures are from Artizan Designs - after I'd started painting them I found that they're not the cleanest casts - especially poor old il Cattivo whose 2 halves didn't quite go together in his mold. Nothing that a bit of paint can't mostly hide.
Although this is a squirrelly project at only 15 points won't be worth a Squirrel Point. At least for now.
3x28mm foot = 15 points plus 20 for Coruscant = 35 Total
Squirrel +0 (Total 6) (+4 incomplete squirrel points)
Skulz +0 (Total 1)
Excellent work on these classic characters! Really like the faces on these sculpts. Well done.
Nice trio, Pete! :)
ReplyDeleteHowever, unless they're not very well, shouldn't it be "Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo"? It's also interesting that the Italian translates as "The Good, The Ugly, The Bad". ;)
How do like the Finnish translation: Hyvät, pahat ja rumat, where the order is the same as in English, but they are all plural? And there's "and" between the last two.
DeleteThanks Tamsin - good point about the illness - not sure what Artizan was thinking.
ReplyDeleteI just looked - they have called them that! :o
DeleteMay be they don't have rights for the real names?
DeleteGreat to see some Western figures ....nice painting!
ReplyDeleteCheers Jez
Some classic movie characters, nice work.
ReplyDeleteWe don't talk about Bruno 😉
ReplyDeleteNice work
These are wonderfully characterful figures!
ReplyDeleteIconic figures, I couldn't hazard a guess to how many times I've seen the film.
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff, Pete, I swear I can hear Ennio Morricone as I look at these pics! Very atmospheric.
ReplyDeleteCheers, MikeP
Great painting, I do remember saturday evenings wayback watching these with my Dad thanks for the trip down memory lane!
ReplyDeleteA nice trio, Pete! I have seen the movies countless of times, I like your gritty approach, the poncho is great and the face of the Ugly especially!
ReplyDeleteSplendid looking western trio!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
