I finished up 3 figures over the weekend from Recreational Conflict.
First, the good news....this was my first dog, and I think he turned out pretty well. I tried to paint him as a German Shepherd.
Now, the not so good. I should have known this figure wouldnt go well when I bought it from the guy at Cold Wars. I said 'I want that dog, and the business lady, and then this chick'. He kinda gave me a dirty look, sold them to me, and didnt say another word. Looking on Recreational Conflict's website, 'he' is 'Nicholas'. I should have painted 'him' in all black leather and called 'him' Trinity from the Matrix.
He turned out ok I guess, but the cast was kinda meh.
Finally, Mrs Butterface. My intention was to get a business woman that sort of looked like my wife, and paint her wearing the same outfits my wife would wear. I know I could count on my wife in a zombie outbreak, so I thought it would be a good 'homage'.
Well, turns out, this figure (THANK GOD) doesnt look like my wife at all. Im really disappointed in this sculpt, especially the face.
This is teh 'good side'! Well, it doesnt look TERRIBLE from this view, right?
Ugh! Mrs Butterface! Queue the Psycho music!!!
Looking back on it, maybe I coulda sanded the face down a little bit, maybe tried to add some putty??? I dont know - didnt really seem worth it.
Im not putting this post up on my regular forum sites for the world to see, but needless to say, I probably wont be buying from Recreational Conflict again.
