In-de-structable...

 Captain Scarlet (dun dun dun dun - that May or not be how the theme tune actually goes)



So during the previous lockdown (my preferred one, if I’m being honest, as I got to stay at home, as opposed to the current lockdown, where I’m spending more time than ever at work) I found myself rewatching the original series of Captain Scarlet whilst doing the washing up, one of my favourite series from childhood. Around the same time, I saw that Crooked Dice had this lovely figure in the Bargains section of their online store, and I seem to recall that whilst idly browsing when I should have been sleeping he fell into my cart...


So he got cleaned up, undercoated, had a base coat of flesh applied and then spent the rest of the time sat on my painting tile watching me do other things. 

We’ve hit that stretch of the year now though where I realise that I need to get a wiggle on if I’m going to hit my target of 52 finished miniatures for the year, and so I focused on getting him finished rather than flirting from figure as they take my fancy as is my usual way of working!

No plans for any project in particular for this figure, although I know I could always expand out with some more Spectrum agents from Crooked Dice of the fancy takes me...

Finishing him brings the Tally to:

44 vs 115 = -71

So what’s next? The Tally sibling further into the negative, truth be told, as there may well already be more miniatures on order at this point...
