I'm a collector of old plastic figures and I was happy I could find this two figures from the Italian brand Dulcop between some other figures I bought on the second hand market. They were partly painted but as you can guess not as I wanted. So I cleaned them and gave them a good brushwork. I hope you like them.

Thanks for watching!
PS: the green base is because of nostalgic reasons. A lot of these old figures had a green base and best example is the brand Britains. That is why I paint the bases of my 54 mm figures in this color.
Points: 2 x 54 mm foot figure = 20 Points
TeemuL: Excellent work, Pete! I have never painted 54mm minis, but it seems that it is possible to give them a very lifelike appearance, even when they are rather old. The poses might be a bit interesting, but they clearly have lots of details to pick up. The shadows on the light grey pants is especially great.
Really nice to see this larger scale get some love and attention, great work!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, I fondly remember those britains figures you mention and their bright green bases!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff - reminded me of the old Airfix plastic large figures (were they 54mm?). Sure I had the French Guard figures.
ReplyDeleteNeat, they do look like old airfix figures
ReplyDeleteGreat example of the cool stuff you see during the AHPC - I was not familiar with these figures, so it was really neat to check this out. That pose is a bit wild...but also seems very "plastic figure"...great brushwork and excellent result.
ReplyDeleteI had never seen these before. Your painted version is perfect.
