LOCKDOWN CHALLENGE 1 - THE LAST GUBBINS

In answer to Geoff's clarion call mentioned in my last post to paint a shonky figure from your lead pile. I present the last member of the Gubbins clan, Cousin Scruton. Not sure if he was the worst figure I have but he is pretty flaky. An Irregular chap I think which is a shame as they do produce some good figures and the service is excellent.

  1. I watched Geoff’s video yesterday. Your figure is a flaky fellow indeed who has responded well to your TLC. Well done!

    1. Thanks. I feel a bit bad as Ian Kay at Irregular is a top chap as you know, but if this is his sculpt then it's not his best.

  2. Great paint work - from the front he looks like he's in a bobblehat which is rather endearing

  4. Love it - I inherited a box full of shonky old minis that are begging for this challenge but like you say, you don't necessarily want to go shaming the poor old sculptor!
