Kevin's plaguebearers.

[Wilbur the Red]

Quick snapshot of one of the two plaguebearers already on my painting table. This one is a lot more brighter than the four others, I'm just having fun with colours (transparencies and all), because the first Great Unclean One will be more or less like this.




Also, the model had lots of rough edges (I’m pretty sure it's not a recast, because it was old bendy lead, but maybe it was a bit mistreated by his original owner) so I'm trying to paint it in a way that makes it look round and smooth. Wish me luck.

Disgustingly luminous. Great work

And a bit blurry now that I see it on my phone…

Images on screens rarely if ever match what the eye sees.
My phone screen over saturates photos, my laptop seems to wash them out.

Both allow zooming beyond its actual size and that shows the flaws which the eye misses.

Don't sweat the small stuff, it still looks great!

not bad ^_^

the lead content isn't really a way to tell. Leaded metal is cheaper anyway.

Oh, nice to know (another reason not to trust sellers anymore).
On a more serious note, I don't buy models that I've seen in Spanish recaster catalogs just in case.
But these plaguebearers... I snipped them at a random 2 AM look as they were posted minutes ago, the first time Kevin's PB were on sight for at least a year. That doesn't mean anything, but at least I know they're not sold frequently, so the national recasters haven't reached them yet.

(I'm sorry for speaking the R word so openly, I guess this is a delicate subject to bring here).

^_^ it's a bit delicate cause it's 100% illigeal.
that said.. commenting on them might being recasts etc isn't too big a thing. Just so everyone knows where we are (and people who sell recasts as originals with high prices are the nasty people... or some are probably just ignorant on the source of the model)

The first time I thought I got a recast (because of double mold lines on a squig) I more or less shamed a person on FB only to discover that back in the day that was a thing even in original models. At least I painted it nicely and gave it as a present for a friend (HE SMOL):
