Zoid the Pinhead Barbarian

This was an old (1988) mini from a series of humorous minis. He was titled "zoid the pinhead barbarian" but his name-bracelet says "oid". He is 40mm foot to crown, but his head is true 25mm scale. I painted oid for Klute's skin up with Klute class and since I hadn't put any wip photos up I entered him in the Total Testosterone comp. The base was just flat and I wanted something simple but more interesting. I sculpted the stones out of Cernit and baked them on after having painted the rest of him. I made it so they are breaking under his massive feet. Back in 1988 this guy was remarkable for the details. He has the bracelet, the wrist-sundial, a pinkie ring, and a tear mended on his boot. That was just phenomenal detail 17 years ago. I did NMM frankly because I think a passable NMM is easier and much faster than good metalics and this guy became a rush at the last minute. Well, I hope you enjoy him and leave comments.

Nice clean paintjob on a weird miniature! I little more contrast would help a bit, but otherwise a fun piece for your collection. Did you ever stick him onto a larger base?

Its just too bad there weren't any flesh areas for you to paint....LOL. This guy is so over the top, its hard to take him too seriously.
