Two leaders who seem to be bent on watching the world go down in flames. So when I noticed that Red Star Coven had a Kickstarter for miniatures of BoJo and Trump riding A-Bombs into oblivion in the style of Dr. Strangelove I just had to get them.
Quick paintjobs just to get me on the board as Christmas has been pretty hectic and I'll be travelling for a couple of weeks at the start of next year so painting time will be quite limited. Luckily with suits and black bombs the palette was extremely limited anyways so I managed to crank these out fast.
"I never understood wind. I know windmills very much, I have studied it
better than anybody. I know it is very expensive. They are made in China
and Germany mostly, very few made here, almost none, but they are
manufactured, tremendous—if you are into this—tremendous fumes and gases
are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right?"
"Voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts and increase your chances of owning a BMW M3"
I must say I was slightly tempted to put these in for the Reidy's Reef Challenge Island task. As both of these world leaders seem to promote environmental politics that seem to lead us towards us living in Waterworld with the rising temperatures and melting ice caps they could probably be considered a nautical subject ;)
Anyways two mounted 28mm miniatures to get me started with 20 points.

Fat Man and Little Boy, indeed. Great work Samuli. These two figures are sadly very inspired, but you've done a terrific job on them (though one could be a tad more orange imho). I seem to recall that bombs would often have witty epithets written on them, we should have a poll for the best one-liners for these two. ;)
