This week (well, technically last week, but I’ve been so wiped I was only able to snap a pic a full week later) we have another offering for the Firefly Stargrave project, à test model for one of the enemy factions:
He was originally a Rezolution APAC Enforcer Lieutenant (as you can probably tell from the micro crop top and tie combination), but for my purposes he’s going to be a fixer and potential bounty target that is a mid level boss for a vaguely future Asian themed crime family - I haven’t yet decided what they’re going to be called, but I vaguely recall planning (back when this project was originally planned, fifteen or so years ago) to call them something like the Pan Asiatic Crime Syndicate or Pan Asiatic Syndicate Tong (because, y’know, acronyms).
He’s a beautifully sculpted little mini, from his abs to his tiny cigarillo, and the back of his jacket also has some sculpted detail. I think it was supposed to be a dragon, but with some careful brushwork I was able to turn it into a tiny rendition of a tiger:
In order to reference the most famous jacket worn by a forklift certified individual, Ryu Hazuki from Shenmue. It’s not an exact copy, but I think is close enough in vibes:
Which brings the Tally to:
20 vs 29 = -9
What’s next? Probably painting the other dozen or so APAC mooks I have undercoated for him to boss around! Or some other low level enemies, or the rest of the crew. I finished my for research rewatch of Firefly a couple of weeks ago (very handy, as there are some law enforcement types that appear that I can paint some Grenadier cops to represent), and now this week they’ve announced that they’re going to being back Firefly as an animated series - it’s nice to be ahead of the zeitgeist curve for once, even if only accidentally!
