Been on a bit of a building and painting binge for figures to use in my Pulp games. This time, I assembled and painted a couple of large scorpions and a Rhino. Unfortunately, as these have been unpacked for many years, I have no idea what manufacturer they are! I think the Rhino is from DeeZee miniatures….maybe… No idea on the scorpions. All the figures are metal. with that said, this is more how you can use very simple paint jobs to get some Pulp figures on the table.
The scorpions required some assembly, as the legs and claws were seperate. I attached them all with some super glue, then gently bent the legs around to give a little movement and variation.
The Rhino paint job was simple. I sprayed the mini with grey primer. I then hit is with a GW black wash. Once that dried, I wet brushed the model with medium grey. I then hit the high areas and horns with a light grey dry brush. I went back and painted the eyes black. Followed up with a little basing, some spray dull coat and now I have a Rhino!
Can not get any easier than this paint job! Black spray paint, dry brush of dark grey, light drybrush of medium grey and spray the whole thing with some satin coat (I think a little sheen looks better on insects) and I am done! I have not decided on the basing yet, as these may end up in a fantasy army at some point. Maybe not… However, I can use them in the meantime for Pulp
So, both paint jobs are very simple and only take a few minutes. The key is to look for models that this fits with and go for it. It is an easy way to expand a collection without too much time.
