Description
Plastic 32mm scale game miniature manufactured by Reaper Miniatures, painted with acrylic, and decorated with printed paper "signs" for junk armor.
This was originally Reaper Bones #77047 "Goldar the Barbarian," though I've modified it by swapping out the original axe with a "power-axe" bit and some wire for the handle, painting details, and then gluing on some paper sign scraps, and doing a bit of detailing to add some stains/distress.
I'm thinking of using this guy as a post-apocalyptic character for a Fallout-themed game of Savage Worlds -- or else "Deadlands: Hell on Earth" or "World of the Dead."

Awesome. I specially like the printed signs, they are very well integrated with the painting and the figure scale.

Thanks! I did a bit of web searching to find the typical size of a stop sign (about 750mm wide in the US ... translated into about 15mm actual print size for the micro version if I'm using a rough scale of 1:50 to loosely approximate 32mm "heroic" scale for Reaper minis). I used a similar reduction ratio for other signs, or just eyeballed it when I didn't have any measurements to work with.
(Technically, 32mm scale should be something like 1:56.25, but due to the chunkiness of miniatures compared to real-life proportions, anything shrunk down that small just doesn't look right. I've found that 1:50 or 1:48 scale looks a lot better -- and I've even been able to get away with stuff as large as 1:43 scale, though that's starting to really push it.)

Freaking awesome mini! love this one, the shelter sign idea is really great.

Thanks! I figured nothing would scream "post-apocalyptic!" quite like something with a radiation or hazmat warning on it.
