Indiana Jones 32mm

"For fortune and glory,"
-Indiana Jones, Temple of Doom

If adventure has a name, it must be Indiana Jones, and as a huge fan of the adventure genre, Indiana had to be a character I'd handle. However, finding a specific miniature for the character proved to be a hassle, seeing as though I wanted him to be in scale with the other Heroclix figures that I've repainted rather than in a strict 28mm scale. After some digging, however, I figured the best place to find a fedora is on a cowboy! This figure is a western figure from Black Scorpion, with a few modifications that made him turn out pretty Indiana-ish if you ask me.
Here is is, front and back, on some raiding adventure. Note the R2-D2 hieroglyphics on the base...


Not happy with the bullets on his belt, but I guess you can't win them all, Otherwise, a little greenstuff made for a pretty convincing whip and satchel.

And that's Indiana! Sound off in the comments if you like the choice in mini or if you've found a better one that fits the scale!

Captain America--Repaint

"When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world -- No, YOU move."

                                                                                         -Captain America, Civil War: The Amazing Spider-Man

Here is a Captain America figure I painted up for Heroscape. 

Captain America has always been a favorite of mine. His WWII roots make him all the cooler in my eyes, and his throwback stories are sometimes the best ones in that respect.

We have some big plans with Super Heroes here at the Fellowship, but I personally have found from a hobbyist's perspective it's just WAY too hard to copy Hasbro's machine paint jobs, baseplates, or cards. So, we're starting from scratch: new style, new methods, same Scaping ;)

Captain America from the front

The Figure is a straight repaint of the Horoscope original (and not a terribly complicated repaint.) The baseplate is cardboard with dollarstore gravel flocking over part of it to serve as the road.

Cap from the back

One thing I tried to do differently with the figure, however. For example, I shot for a more muted, 'Old Glory' color scheme rather than the popsicle red white and blue the original figure had. Additionally, as a nod to the movies/modern costumes, the white on the shield is replaced with metallic silver, and is covered in dings and scratches showing it's 75 some years of use.

'Murica

Pose for maximum patriotism (even if it is a blurry shot.)

The Good Captain's Card

We've developed a whole new Card for super heroes now as you can see. It's the same heroscape design on a new, more easily replicated square card. Cap looks about American as it gets... leaping right out of the panel with the constitution in the background. You can almost hear the eagles screaming... or at least those fake red hawk things we were all told were eagles.

So what do you think? Is our new Cap setting a good precedent for our more outlandish super customs?
