Completed Capt. Otto from ZabaArt

[Larsen E. Whipsnade]

One piece 1:9 scale (93mm) resin bust. Great character and sculpting. Well cast, very little clean up required. This "otto" be a lot of fun. (Oh, ha-ha! make funny joke - I'm sorry.)

Hey Kev,
Thanks - I'm looking forward to how I do the octopus myself! At the moment I haven't a clue. But that's what makes these fantasy pieces so much fun. You're not trying to recreate with historical accuracy. You're free to let your imagination roam where it will.

Another super choice Rick, you're going to have loads of fun painting him.

Thank you, sir. Otto is going to be a challenge, that's for sure. But there are only two kinds of things in life: joyfers and kinardly's. A kindardly is like "I kinardly stand it". A joyfer is like "a thing of beauty is a joyfer ever.

Otto is definitely a joyfer.

"Are you young and handsome, sir?" cried the fair, young maiden.
"I'm old, I'm rough, I'm dirty and tough," said Barnacle Bill the sailor.

Thanks, Kev. Had a lot of practice when I was younger.

Best zit I've seen in a while.
Good luck with the hat.

Enjoy the show.

... Otto has a hat. The octopus on the hat is actually the color of dried blood, it's only the lighting that makes it appear to be black. But I like the black. May have to reconsider the color of the octopus.

 

[MalcC]

I like the weathering on the hat, very nicely done.
Agree that you need to reconsider the colour of the Octopus.
Maybe a light purple or green.

Malc

 

[Larsen E. Whipsnade]

Thanks, Malc. Still thinking about the right color for Octopussy Galore. Think I'll do a little on his uniform before I make that final decision. That's the nice thing about paint... never too late to make a change
