AHPC Bonus Round Film Characters - Inglorious Rejects

Curt bamboozeled all entrants of the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge this

year with his last bonus round. "A Character(s) and/or Scene from a Movie,

TV Program, Book or Piece of Music", but the little twist was you have to

 partner up and both or all have involvement in the piece.

Well BigLee was an easy choice to partner up with as we are both members

 of Posties Rejects, I'm sure if Fran was in the Challenge this year

 he would have joined us too.

I'd seen these figures in Wargames Illustrated the month before and knew

 they fit perfectly. They are based on two characters from Inglorious Basterds,

 the 2009 war film by Quentin Tarantino. Lee agreed to the choice as

 long as he could paint up the baseball bat wielding Staff Sergeant

 Donny Donowitz. Although in his version of events, I wanted to paint up

the Brad Pitt figure, when in truth, it was him who was blabbing 

 " I wanna paint the figure with the bat!!"  

We both decided to use our figures as our Curtgeld entry too, which for those

not in the know, is the price we have to pay for entering the Challenge.

We were both unsure of how to base the figures up, in the end we decided on a

scenic base, with detachable figures. So at Cavalier a few Sundays

 ago we made a few small purchases, Lee took the figures and basing materials

 away and finished off the base.

I've gotta admit, I think we both made a great job on the figures, Lee commented on

 Lt Aldo Raine's leather coat, on how it looked.....leather! To give it an extra

 sheen, I mixed a small quantity of both Matt and Gloss varnish to make the

coat stand out from the rest of the figure. I'm very pleased with the result.

There are once again some really excellent entries into the bonus round, if you feel the

 need pop over and cast your vote, here!

BigLee's version of events can also be found here as well!
