I have no idea if there will be Bounty Hunters in the Apocalypse but this Hasslefree figure gives off the vibe of being one I think. Evolution being what it is I can imagine Zombies becoming organised with leaders popping up here and there. This being the case human survivors would surely put a price on the heads of such zombies, but what would that price be? Money would have little value, food maybe? Karl just strikes me as someone who would do it just for the pleasure!
Karl Drax is another excellent 28mm Hasslefree sculpt and if it is based on anyone then I really haven’t a clue who it is. If anyone has any ideas then please let me know.
As to the figure itself I liked the irony of giving him a freehand Peace T-Shirt.

Great looking piece, TIM. Not sure if it’d supposed to be someone specific but knowing Hasslefree I’d say there’s about a 50% chance at least… love the freehand as well!

Cheers mate. I’m with you on the odds but if it is based on someone then hopefully someone will enlighten us. 🙂

Looks great, and yes – vaguely familiar, although I can’t place where from. Some film buff will undoubtedly know. As for what they pay him with I reckon it’s protein shakes and gym membership!

Yea I reckon you are right but I suspect at the end of the day he just takes what he wants anyway! 🙂 Personally I can’t see myself saying “put that back there’s a good fellow”. 🤣

Another great model, no idea who he is though if he is based off a movie. The flesh tones are very nice, is that just lots of layering or do you use many washes / inks?

Thank you. Generally I do layering and finish with a flesh wash. When that’s done I often tend to use an ink between things like the fingers to help define them further. 🙂

Intresting you do the washes and inks last, I normally do the just after base coats. Clearly worked well for you!

Generally I only tend to do it on areas of flesh. I just feel it brings it all together. I guess there is a right way and a wrong way of doing such things but being self taught I just go with what seems to look OK to me.

Excellent work on the freehand TIM, not sure who he’s based on at all with this one

Thanks Dave. Not sure who the figure is either. Not all the Hasslefree figures are based on characters so perhaps this is one of them.

The freehand really adds to this guy and of course, you have to love the irony of his shirt. I’m with others in that sculpt looks familiar but I can’t place who Hasslefree based him off of. Either way, its a great post-apocalypse vibe and you don’t want this guy to have your number or bounty, whatever the case may be!
