Flushed with the success of finally finishing my 'Penguin Crew', I set about unearthing the other Batman Miniatures that I picked up at 'Salute 2015'. Having carefully unpacked them, I tentatively shook a small file at a couple of pieces and duly stopped - I just wasn't ready to do battle with them quite yet. Instead I set about prepping and basing a small flock of Dodos from 'Freebooter Fate' range. I know that there was a good reason why I ended up purchasing these, but for the life of me, I'm struggling to remember!
Some painting has happened today though with the 'Rocket Penguins' getting a little colour on them, but I'm afraid progress has been painfully slow of late.
Don't forget to visit the rest of the 'Paint Table Saturday' community here.
Those penguins are looking rather nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you Roy, had a good day on them yesterday so hopefully a post during the week!
DeleteSplendid looking penguins... rather dangerous-looking, and I like the dodos too.
ReplyDeleteSelf detonating penguins are never good to have around the painting table for too long!
DeleteNicely done with these splendid penguins Michael!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil, hopefully be able to have them finished today.
DeleteGreat to see you ticking along Sir Michael. Lovely penguins by the way!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bob, I won't say things are quite back to normal, but hobbying helps.
DeleteP-p-p-pick up a penguin!
ReplyDeleteSome progress is better than none Sir Michael :)
Too true Tamsin, thank you.
DeleteCool, Kamikaze penguins! Looking forward to Dodos all decked out in Awdry colors for an adventure only Sir Michael knows.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jay, The Dodoes are a blast and shouldn't take too long to paint.
DeleteDodos! Obviously!
ReplyDeleteYes, that was what I was thinking, still I like to keep everyone on their toes! ;)
DeletePenguins and Dodo's?? I'm intrigued!
ReplyDeleteClearly my mind is a little confused of late!
DeleteA p-p-p-perfect p-p-p-paintjob on those p-p-p-penguins Michael.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat, hope to have more to show you soon.
DeletePenguins look fantastic Michael! Dodos would be interesting too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rodger, I know I have a scenario somewhere for the Dodoes, just need to find it!
DeleteNice blending on the penguin's chests.

Thank you FMB, tricky little blighters though!
DeleteDoes one NEED a reason to purchase dodos? I think not sir.
ReplyDeleteThat's a dashed good point and eloquently put Sir, feel free to drop by anytime and justify my hobby expenditure to the Saintly Mrs. Awdry! :D
DeleteLet me remind you why you bought the Dodos. Simply because they are lovely and will feed a ships crew, what other reason would one need?
ReplyDeleteI knew there was a perfectly good reason Clint, thank you. Somewhere there is a scenario I was hoping to play with them adapted from a 'Beer and Pretzels' game involving Turkeys, I just need to find it!
DeleteRocket penguins! Fiendish! They are superb Michael. Great concept from the start. I know you are taking influences from different Batman productions, but were they in the Adam West Batman show or a totally original design? I can hear Burgess Meredith's cackling laugh right now!
ReplyDeleteHola Amigo
ReplyDeleteSI señor buena mesa de pintura,esos pinguinos molan
un saludo
Lovely work on these aquatic birdies, Michael. Who can resist penguins, particularly when they're painted so beautifully like yours.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I detect a "flightless bird" theme. Can a pack of angry, angry emus be far behind?
ReplyDeleteOh, these penguins are awesome! The basing is especially well done.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the Penguins! I don't think you need a good reason to buy Dodo's. The fact that there are such minis is already reason good enough :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice work on the penguins, Sir! You really keep seducing me to that Batman thing...
ReplyDeleteThe Dodos are nice as well but honestly I see no need for them... ;-)
The base looks great. And yes, the penguins too. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat painting on those penguins!
