The next figure from my Reaper to do pile.
Here we have Rafael Maladoni who on the face of it fancied a take away, a light lunch! Well the figure was certainly one I could get my teeth into (all puns welcome!).
I liked this figure and enjoyed painting it. Not a lot to say although for the last photo I took onboard IRO’s suggestion of placing a backdrop behind. I went for a black and white graveyard scene and have to say the photo for a first attempt doesn’t look to bad. I will definitely look to do more photos like this but it may not be for a little while. I think I shall take it on as a project to eventually do all new models with a backdrop but I like the idea too of backtracking to do some of the older ones as well. An ideal subproject to keep me out of mischief during the winter months.

Nice, the old metal fence really adds to the scene too.

Thnak you. I did toy with the idea of a bigger base and the whole graveyard scene but decided that would be an idea for another day!

Looking good, I can’t say I have seen the figure before. I like the contrast between the colours of the vampire’s and young lady’s clothing.
As Davekay stated, the fence really adds to it. Looking forward to seeing the next one.

That’s the thing with a film crew you can do anything you like with them. Definately something to do again.

Love it, the face especially is excellent and as others have said the fence in the background really helps to frame it. I really enjoy the way you make each piece into a little diorama.

Thank you. Strange doing a face in none flesh colours but great fun! I guess as I’m not a gamer I rather like the idea of just doing a bit more with a base when I can.

Great work on the figures, and as the others have said – the simple addition of the fence gives the setup a nice sense of place (and your lighting gives it the sense of time!)

When I first saw it I had a “coffin” fit 😂
I bet he loves a “stake” sandwich but hold the garlic innit.
He’s brilliant mate and good on you for doing the backdrop thing it works an absolute treat and to be honest it’s my favourite picture of the bunch. It really adds to it without taking anything away from the fabatatsic work you’ve done. 👍🏽

I knew you wouldn’t let me down! Yea I like the backdrop and as I said, at some point I might revisit other models and see how they look.

Sounds good man. I think as long as you keep it subtle you can’t fail. I also find it fun trying to find the right backdrop.

So iconic. Reminds me of the old Hammer horror films from your land. The backdrop makes a nice difference and accentuates the diorama. Love the legs on the victim, so nicely done. Just in time for an early Halloween!

Much as I don’t like to give kudos to IRO in one of your posts (😉), the back drop does look good. It’s a great diorama with it (back peddling rapidly!).

Very nice, can’t believe I missed this, but I’ve been trying to backtrack on all the posts I’ve missed.
The interesting thing on this one, is the lady’s face. Downright morbid. I guess it’s a Hollywood thing, where even if the lady is dead, they are going to have her all made up to look beautiful. So it was a bit striking to see, that she is in fact, dead, and looking that way. Nice job, man.

I get what you mean. The piece is very Hammer Horror and as best I can recall the leading ladies, generally the victims, were always glamerous. Just make a note to watch a Hammer Horror, haven’t done so for years.
