This weeks Hasslefree miniature goes by the name of “Taylor” As with numerous Hasslefree figures this is not the first time I have painted this one. First time around she appeared in a little diorama called “Apocalypse: What The F**k Was That!”
On this occasion I decided to give Taylor her own stand alone spot and this is the end result. Nothing overly exciting but I saw an opportunity for some different freehand and settled on some psychedelic pants! In a post apocalyptic graffiti strewn world I figure she’d be well camouflaged and blend in nicely. Painting each colour in random patterns was easy enough but outlining each one in black to make it stand out was a more lengthy process.
As with most things I am doing these days the figure was based on an MDF square base before being stuck to an oak cube for a display plinth. In this case everything is 25mm square.

Very nice indeed! 🙂 Not sure I could manage psychedelic pants anywhere near that good!

Thanks John. Hopefully you won’t need to unless any of the army’s you do adopt a new uniform. 😉

I think the pants not only look great but give this mini a nice visual surprise. You don’t expect to see pants like that in the apocalypse and why not? You gotta make do with whatever clothes you can find after all! 🙂

Thank you. It was just a fun thing to do but I reckon in the apocalypse fashion will for some be just as important as survival. 🙂
