Hi All!
As I need to book balloon fare to Awdry's Atoll, I present to you another resolute heroine from 'Mansions of Madness'.
Amanda's a bit of a miss in MoM as her special ability is focused purely on solving puzzles. This is not bad per se, in fact it can be quite handy at times, but unfortunately it's an activity that only plays a very small part of the game so she often ends up not pulling her weight.
Like many of the MoM characters, Amanda is also featured in other Cthulhuesque games from Fantasy Flight, and her other renditions are often far more powerful (in 'Elder Sign' she is perhaps one of the most kickass characters in that game). Oh well, you can't be the belle of the ball all the time.
This all being said, here she is, bespectacled, fresh-faced, in a green jacket and grey skirt. Clutched to her chest is a red-bound book - maybe a university textbook, a novel perchance? But perhaps it is something entirely more significant and sinister...
Amanda should give me 5 points, and with this being my sixth trip on Sarah's Balloon she'll provide me another 10.
It can easily be deduced that I am irredeemably slothful as I've not yet traveled a step on any of the island roads! This is probably for the best, as with Lady Sarah's in-flight stores of champagne I'd be too smashed to attempt to stagger down any of these foreboding paths. :)

Amazing job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Scott!
DeleteGreat job Curt! Do you use anything else than just superglue to stick them to clear bases? I've been thinking about doing the same, but the test minis I did were super fragile and tended to fall off with even a small bump.
ReplyDeleteThanks Samuli. As to the bases, yes, I use a very light application of superglue in a dry, well-ventilated environment (I found that any trace moisture will 'frost' the clear acrylic). Also, I always pin one of the figure's legs to the base in order to help it stay put. It's a bit fiddly but I like the final effect.
DeleteThis is another kick ass figure, the collection must look really cool
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin. Yes, it's nice to have some of these done, but there are a boatload yet to get done. It's amazing how many characters they've created for their various Cthulhu games.
DeleteAnother lovely mini, Curt. You should show us the full 'Mansions' collection at some point, so we can see all its glory.
ReplyDeleteThanks Noel, I'll have to do a 'feature shot' of them when we do the Challenge wrap-up in April.
DeleteAnother lovely character Curt - great painting :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamsin!
DeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeleteCheers Lee
DeleteGreat story and acompanying figure!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sander.
DeleteExcellent work on Amanda Curt, love the glasses. She looks a very keen student, maybe direct her to my classes. Having driven with you I am not at all surprised by the pinball like way you've careened around the island.
ReplyDeleteYes, they did a great job in conveying her Best Girl attitude. I do love to careen...
DeleteLovely work Curt.
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul
DeleteLovely finish on your student!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain!
DeleteVery nice indeed and with the lack of a repaint I assume you double checked the character card before putting paint to brush? ;)
ReplyDeleteNo! If you look closely at the card you will see I screwed it up again, but I couldn't stand another wardrobe change so I let it slide. I figure the Deep Ones won't care when they're eating her. :)
DeleteAnother very lovely Cthulhu mini, Curt!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Benito!
DeleteShe might not be the most powerful character in your games but she definitely looks rather excellent in her green blazer. Well done my friend!
ReplyDeletethanks Nick. It's all about facing the Dark Gods in your best outfit.
DeleteGreat painting dude, well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks dude!
DeleteA real sharp looking figure Curt!

Thanks Christopher!
DeleteGreat work!
ReplyDeleteCheers Alex!
DeleteShe hasn't seen the table in my games either- great painting, though!
