I think I may have found my next painting project!
Eaglemoss' Rick Grimes is a simple, well-sculpted figure. The 3-D modeled design of this piece paid handsome dividends as the basket-weave tooling on the holster and gun belt is beautifully reproduced (note: this was readily apparent on the promo shots of the figure, but all the delicate detail was obscured by the heavy paint on the production piece!). It is comprised of 4 total pieces (body, arms, and base): if OOB is satisfactory, then it should suffer but a relatively brief sojourn on the workbench. With me, it will take longer before it is ready for priming.
The figure is based on Rick in the Season 3 promo poster. While I am toying with the idea of re- producing a "slice" of the poster in miniature, if memory serves, at no time did Rick climb atop
the overtuned [Thomas] prison bus--in Season 3 or 4.
Stay tuned!
