This week we move along in Paradise. First we visit the second circle where the Ambitious reside. Here we meet Team Chase from Pulp Figures, otherwise known as that keen as fresh mustard, an overachiever's overachiever: Johnny Quest
“Join brave and brainy 11-year-old Jonny Quest as he travels the world with his scientist father Dr. Benton Quest, his adoptive Indian brother Hadji, his bodyguard Race, and his faithful dog Bandit. ”
Bandit's face was unexpectedly quite the personal challenge. Next we visit the Third Sphere: The Lovers. Together through trials and setbacks, plane crashes and uncertainty - A fisherman & his wife.
These figures were from Akula’s “Apocalypse Isle Miniatures”. As I recall they were part of his “Lost” or apocalyptic line he commissioned for his own collection. I picked these up with his other civilian figures (painted last AHPC). Everything was painted with a mix of ProAcrylic, Two Thin Coats & Foundry acrylics. Picture background is from Jon Hodgson's backdrop painting books.
Points: 75
Ambitious & Lovers: 40 points
7 x 5 point 28mm figures: 35 points.
Will definitely return to the ACW painting for next week.

Johnny Quest? looks like some Johnny come lately version of Tintin! - he even has Snowy in tow! No Captain Haddock though sadly - all quality adventurers know at least one dodgy sea captain (don't they Alan and John...). Seriously though, what great characterful models and your bold colours make them look like they've stepped right off a comic page :-)
Looking forward to seeing more of your ACW next week - the project is really going great guns! :-)

Love the Jonny Quest models, great work!
ReplyDeleteWow, Jonny Quest! Great submission Tom.
ReplyDeleteOoo Johnny Quest. Lots of Saturday morning cartoon nostalgia. Excellent work.
ReplyDeleteLove those Quest models. Can I confess that I am a little disappointed that they weren't sculpted in a bent over running pose to match the poster?
