On this blog I have expressed on many occasion my love for
the MM90 sculpts and the original paintjob. Recently I found out where the
originals are located and wrote about this here:
Also I have said many times that it was my intention to
replicate the original paintjob, but for this I first need two complete sets of
MM90’s because I also want one set naked. Well I finally started this project
and our first candidate is MM90 5C, or as I dub him: Underbite (you see because
the helmet looks like a face with a…. ah well, you get the picture….).
The plan is to countdown to the last one of the 24, whilst
at the same time I’m stilling finding the last few duplicates that I miss. I
will choose my candidates at random and this one was only lucky enough to be
the first one just because I repaired him recently and wanted to see how paint
would look on him. See this blog entry:
Here is the result so far, I have only done the armour, red
blended into yellow highlights. My highlights are a little smoother and less
yellow than the original, but in real life the yellow highlighting stands out
more.
The left one is the original (duh…) but for some reason this
miniature is always in the background, evidence shown here:
and here:
So the only full body picture I have of this miniature is the
well know page from the Marauder catalogue, but that one isn’t very clear. I
going with a sort greyish for the boots, with the folds being a more light brownish
tint. And for the beard with a black grey combo. Here is the end result (sorry,
couldn’t resist putting him on a goblin green painted base J).

well, that's one down, 23 to go!
