So next month is Forgotten Heroes, for the first time I'm hoping to participate this year, as long as work doesn't get in the way. For anyone who doesn't know what this is visit forgotten heroes
Anyone who regularly visits this blog will know I'm no stranger to converting or building from scratch a model I want to fill a gap based on a character that appears in a particular film or comic for my gaming needs.
I thought I would show a couple that I have not shown before as a warm up to the upcoming event.
VENOM
One of my all time favourite villains is Venom, and have seen a lot of models that I felt didn't captur the character very well, so this is the one I built
and here is the art I based my sculpt from
X-MEN
Another comic group I enjoy is X-Men for these models I used nexus-miniatures models as the basis, and using some of their head kits and some converting came up with these
Cyclops
Wolverine
Beast
Night Crawler
Gambit
Rogue
Storm
They didn't have a model that would easily transform into the Phoenix, so I made one myself, and released it through my company as "the rising"
I've also got a vehicle for them, which I still need to modify and paint. I couldn't find a suitable Blackbird so opted for a Quinjet instead
So what am I planning for this years event, well I want to start the Meknificent seven, you may recall I showed Ro-Jaws that I made for this project, but I want to make all the incarnations of the seven eventually, so I've narrowed it down to a choice of 5 at the moment, Mad Ronn, Hitaki, Nemesis the warlock in Gothic war attire, Purity Brown, or Terri. We'll have to wait and see which one I end up going for next month.
Until next time have fun !
Cheers Dave

As a big fan of the ABC Warriors I am now looking forward to your versions with bated breath!!
Cheers Roger.
Good work on the X-Men figures too. And why am I not surprised that you will be delving into the annals of 2000AD for your Forgotten Heroes entries?
Would be rude not to utilise this time to make some more 2000 ad characters ! LOL
I don't get out much nowadays - aka, read as.. I don't browse the blogs much anymore Dave, neither of us do really: what with the dark of the moon `silence` of the house move thing last January/April we did more than just pack boxes and stuff. We practically re-invented our hobby time and that included lots more time playing (a bit of time painting of course hehe) but it leaves little time now for blogs or computers in general. Actually, you`d be pleased to know himself has pretty much finished all the WTW terrain and minis he picked up from you wen he was last over and visited - yes all one hundred or so models, and it has all been well and truly added in to the adventures we play nowadays, and has seen many a game session outing. One day he will no doubt put it all up on some blog or other, but for now, we`re just having a blast playing lots and often: as its hard to do both - play and blog, or so we find anyway.
Keep up the great work Dave. The Game Cupboard looks to be in a nice healthy state. Even if I am a stranger to it nowadays :)
Always welcome to drop in and say hi whenever your around
