From TomL: Romance, Library cart (55 points)


Flo MacShane

Leading us via the library cart to the Romance section is another Bob Murch sculpt from his "Daughters of the Empire" pack.  Flo is here to help these star crossed lovers decide if hanging out in an ash wasteland is really a great life choice.

Tank Girl & Booga
 
 
 Sadly its all a wasteland.

Tank Girl and her nuclear enhanced main marsupial squeeze are doomed freedom loving fighters struggling against the man in all his self-serving ways. Booga and TG were sculpted for a charity event and sold via Frothers UK. The background is an actual coal ash waste area in Illinois. 

This rare second post of a week is for 55 points.

3 28mm figures for 15 points.

Romance for 20

From Millsy: A rare second post and certainly worth the effort Tom! I particularly like Booga who looks great in his Quadrophenia t-shirt. Bob Murch stuff is always fun to paint and the Frothers minis look great alongside. I'm fascinated by the background you chose too, really evocative and likely a first for the Challenge!

  1. Brilliant work. Tank Girl is an under-rated character and you've done her justice. You just need a giant pink tank for her now.

    1. While I do have a blaneblade it's not pink. I chose this very old tank as it has a bazillion barrels in a totally over the top configuration. The figures are very nice clean sculpts.

  2. Out of this world stuff Tom. Great work and the Bob Murch figures as always a joy to paint.

    1. The library is a great help in pulling random things from the lead mountain.

  3. Lovely and wacky work. Not sure you’re really selling Illinois’ finer points.

    1. Probably depends on the country but if your area burns this type of coal you likely have something similar nearby.
