28mm North Star Goblin personalities.

[HEADING=2]28mm North Star Goblin personalities. Where there’s a whip, there’s a way….[/HEADING]

Hi all.
While on light duties I have got back into painting the little blokes…..I was surprisingly rusty on the first couple, but got faster as I went on. These are white metal 28mm one piece figures from North Star, and they have been in primer since before the Russian Armour GB…..still, they never held it against me :tongue-out3:

No more drivel then, bring on the lads……



A shaman, complete with skull on a stick…..supposed to be wearing a striped hyena skin, but it hasn’t come out that well. Quite like the skull though.


Ginger Baker, the signal drummer…..had a bit of fun with the trousers…..after all, a drummer needs loon pants doesn’t he.


Big Bruce the king, with a large helping of extra chin…..not my favourite sculpt, but he’s also got loons on.


Ron Harris, known as chopper for obvious reasons…..


Billy Bones, with his mate on his shoulder…..


….and last, but not least, Willy the whip….after all, where there’s a whip, there’s a way…..

Title song here….

Hope you like them

Forgot the calibration shot…..

I just love 'em Tim. Getting so much character, colour and movement into such tiny figures is testament to your skills.

Heers Jim. Very kind of you :thumb2:

Tim,

Again simply brilliant work.....28mm sounds so much larger than 1/72..... Until you put it up against a bottle of paint.

And obviously very pleased to hear that your heading in the right direction and feel able to get back to table, even if only in a small way!

ATB.

Cheers Andrew. I’d say they are about a third bigger than 1/72s, chunkier too.
Yep, feeling much better, but it will take a while to get my stamina back up. Not much effort needed to sit at a bench and push paint around though :thumb2:

Lovely, as always Tim. So sharp, so clean. The stripey loons are very impressive, especially at this scale. And love the metallics, too. Ron Harris's chopper is so smoooth!

Tim, it's hard to pick a FAV......like 'em all! nice little bit of irony with them "Uglies" dancin' through the "Posies" though! :tongue-out3: :smiling5: :smiling3::thumb2:

In scale as well ! Congratulations.

Cheers lads. Not going to reply individually I’m afraid. I got hit with a nasty RA flare overnight and struggle to hold the iPad steady at the mo.

Hi Paul
Cheers mate. Stripes loons are actually quite easy, it’s all down the getting the paint consistency right…..
Ron’s chopper is just Vallejo metallics brush painted, steel basic and a brighter one for edge highlights. The golds and brasses are Dark star metallics. The Vallejo gold and copper coloured metals are pretty poor compared to the silvers.

Hi Rick.
Cheers bud, glad you picked up on the irony :tongue-out3: It’s why I gave Ginger Baker the pink and purple trousers.

Cheers John and the committee. I am suitably humbled……and simultaneously grateful.
