erm.....sorry about the title of the post.... I blame Dave Stone, after all my suggestion was simply that we should compare the various paint jobs of Tweak, a character from the pages of 2000AD, by Simon (Blaxcleric), Bryan (Vampifan), myself and Dave - who sculpted the figure. Dave was kind enough to gift each of us with a copy of the enigmatic Tweak, who joined Judge Dredd in his trek across the Cursed Earth. I did have a load of blurb prepared from Wikipedia but Bryan beat me to the punch so here's a link to his excellent article instead here.
So it was my idea to compare each of our paint jobs of the same sculpt for fun, Dave named it a "Tweak off!" Bryan has displayed his version and Dave's as Dave doesn't have a blog and you can find a link ***
Anyway here's my version.
Anyway here's my version.
I went with a Vallejo Saddle brown for the main body and mixed it with some GW Emperor's Children pink for his snout and hands, washed in Army Painter Strong tone and finished with yellow claws.
I have got another Dave Stone special to show but he'll have to stay under wraps until I finish him off.
hope you enjoy
dGG
Really nice paint work on him Andy, this was great fun and glad you like him. What a tease in your last sentence ! LOL
ReplyDeleteHaha yup, as I said to you Dave nearly done but essays are getting in the way now :-(
DeleteSoon be finished Andy, Then you can get back to having fun
Deletesix months mate and I get my life back!
DeleteWorth it at the end though mate, upgrade for your job ?
Deleteyeah I go from EMT to paramedic - more skills, more money, more job security
DeleteThat's awesome hope all goes well for you
DeleteI remember Tweak, nice work!
ReplyDeleteCheers mate, I recently reread the progs online and there he was! Dave's sculpt is really cool
DeleteNice. The joy of comparing the different styles of you and Simon. One of the best things about reading blogs is how you become familiar with different peoples styles.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Martin, you can recognise a blogger by their paint style, basing technique etc
DeleteGreat work, Andy. I hope you had as much fun painting him as I did. As Dave suggested, we must do this again.
ReplyDeletei did have fun with him. most certainly have to do this again!
DeleteBrilliant job Andy. such a great fun miniature.
ReplyDeleteHe is a fun miniature Michael, a cracker
DeleteNot my favourite character from the Dredd series, but he (it?) has c come out looking the part - job well done I'd say.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, he definitely looks the business
DeleteThis is a really fun miniature! Nice job, but I was expecting some music to go along with the tweak off!
ReplyDeleteNext time Rod, next time
DeleteExcellent stuff, Andy. Its incredible how differently we've all interpreted the same character from a comic book. Looking forward to the next 'Tweak Off' ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon, it is strange isn't it! I'm looking forward to it too
DeleteI do recall the 2000Ad character but he was never a character I liked.
ReplyDeleteBut the pint job has come out very well and he does look very good.
Thanks Clint, I think Tweak is a bit marmite. Some people love him, others don't, but Dave's miniature is cracking anyway!
DeleteVery nice work mate. Not heard of this guy before you and Bryan posted about him. Good luck with the studying etc :)
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy :-)
DeleteSadly, I have no prior knowledge of Tweak or his exploits. I do like what you've done with the miniature. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks Finch
