Finally finished these guys!
These minis have been sitting on my desk for I don't even want to know how many months. I started them...got distracted...had Real Life issues intervene...numerous times...got discouraged...worked on them a bit...wasn't happy with how they were going...painted some other models...Real Life again...more discouragement...bla...bla...bla... Maybe some of you know how this goes. But, finally, here they are all finished and ready for my zombie games.
These are Big City PD from Tactical Miniatures. You can find them
here. They are great sculpts and perfect for depicting the Toledo police department. They've armed themselves for a firefight as 2 of them are carrying shotguns and 1 has an M-16 assault rifle. The 2 with pistols make excellent beat cops. In all, I think they are well prepared for the apocalypse.
Once I got going I enjoyed painting these models and each began to develop a character or persona as I painted them. I will write up some character profiles in a future blog post. These heroic officers will feature in some zombie gaming sometime soon.

Thanks for reading. Until next time, carry on.
They look soo good. I have this set, and love em.
ReplyDeleteThey are great models. Looking forward to using hem.
DeleteSplendid, 'real life' can suck and blow at the same time!
ReplyDeleteTrue enough!
DeleteHeavily armed - but no body armour? I guess they were in too much of a hurry. Anyway, nicely painted :-) .
ReplyDeleteThanks! There is another set that goes with these models. Narcotics agents or something like that. They are in body armor. I have them still in the pack. Will paint them...eventually... : )
DeleteLooking good, cops always come in handy when it all goes to hell!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Indeed they do!
DeleteLife can suck sometimes, good job with the cops though. Whatcha gonna do when the come for you?
ReplyDeleteThanks! That was a ridiculous show but a catchy tune... : )
DeleteThese look very good and you're right real life does suck and it does get really hard sometimes to get motivated
ReplyDeleteThank you! One day at a time, as they say. I'm hopeful my motivation is returning.
DeleteThey look great. I though most cop duo's carried a shotgun in the car. Or is that just on the tv?
ReplyDeleteThese are some of my favourite police figures. I nearly got some off a guy of lead adventure but got pipped to the post.
Love the paint jobs on them and certainly look forward to reading there backgrounds.
My next two survivors figures are dragging along at the moment there will be no Zomtober post this week I feel.
Thanks! Typically in the USA police keep at least one shotgun in their cruiser. The assault rifle seems a bit much but in the apocalypse...who knows?
DeleteI think these are the best modern police I've found out there. Thanks for looking and taking time to comment.
Nice work. Don't beat yourself up too much, the figures come when they come.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they do, Sean. Thanks for the encouragement. Not beating myself up so much as stating facts. : ) Thanks for checking in.
DeleteGreat cops - I might have to buy these minis as they look brilliant. Nice paint job as well
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kasper! They are great models. Excellent detail. Well worth picking up for any modern games you may play.
