Hi guys!
I knew the moment I saw the Mighty Jaxx Mountaineer toy that I wanted to make it into a monument for my Trench Table.
It's a great toy, with a solid construction, quality heft, and good, clean details.
I used some of my Hirst Arts gothic molds to make a suitable pedestal for the monument, which works pretty great to my eye.
Trick: I often have troubles priming rubber and vinyl with spray primers. The wrong stuff reacts badly, making the toy a sticky mess with paint that never cures. For me, Rustoleum gray auto primer did the trick. (Their plastic paint did NOT work.)
I used Citadel's Nihilakh Oxide to do the verdigris on the copper. It worked better than any of my own mixes, so I'd recommend it.
As always, I'm not quite done with him, but I was too excited not to share him with you guys.
