A very simple one this week and not a great deal to comment upon.
This is the third and what I had originally thought would be my final figure under my loosely linked Apocolypse mini series. I have now got another idea festering away so a fourth, possibly even a fifth could be on the cards.
Some of you might think the title is in some way linked to the movie District 9, it isn’t. I recently finished building a Tamiya motor cycle, a model you will get to see futher down the line perhaps (I say perhaps because the whole thing has been sitting around for months), and I had a few decals over of which the number “79” was one.
The yellow and black hazard lines were done free hand. I kept them as precise as I could but the plan was for most of the base to be covered over so I didn’t get caried away with masking tape this time around. The figure is from Hasslefree, Winter Dionne. The industial background contraption was a piece of plastic packaging which came with a new washing machine! Quite what purpose it served I have no idea but painted up I figured it looked OK.

The Imperfect Modeller 
Very nicely done! Her face has got a look that says you wouldn’t want to mess with her! And that looks like a 50th (Northumbrian) Division sign on the industrial gubbins if I’m not mistaken, obviously a throwback to an era long ago as far as she’s concerned!

Thanks John. I’ll have to take your word about the signage but I would put money on you being right! Hasslefree do some great figures and really get some expression into them. How they do it I don’t know but I wouldn’t mess with her either.

Thanks Alex. It’s a simple piece but as always a great Hasslefree figure steels the show. Don’t know how they do it but their figures all convey a story of sorts.

Thanks Pat. Sadly over here and elswhere as well far too much rubbish isn’t recyclable. That said it is oddly rewarding to take something no longer needed and find a modelling use for it. 😊

One thing that gets me Dave is unnecessary packaging ,like that really hard plastic that you need an angle grinder to remove ,what are they thinking ,someone’s going to drive over it !

Couldn’t agree more Pat. Individually we can all do what we can but governments need to put a stop to it to make a real difference.

Gives me a blade runner-esque feel. Long coat and chunky guns. Love the Hasslefree range. You should share the image to the Hasslefree Facebook page. They like seeing what is being done with their range.

Looks fantastic – there’s a real dystopian/cyberpunk feel to the piece as well! Very Blade Runner!

There’s something about the Hasslefree range, the figures stand out and almost seem to tell you how to base them.

I really like that. The miniature and colour choice is very understated and I think that adds to the way everything ties together to tell a story.

In all honesty I kept it simple due to a lack of alternative inspiration but I think I got lucky on the less is more front. Another lesson learnt I think!
