Assorted ElastoWit painted
The following are pictures of assorted ElastoWit figures I have recently painted.
First up is an insurgent chimp based on the film, The Conquest of the Battle of the Apes. This was when the servant chimps and gorillas rebelled against their human masters. The firearms are 20th century and differ from the firearms of the apes in the first two films.
The chimps are generally smaller than the gorillas and dressed in green overalls as contrasted to the red of the gorillas.
I have ordered a new set which includes mutants from Beneath the Planet of the Apes. My favorite movie for wargaming purposes is Battle for the Planet of the Apes which has the humans in the city suffering from radiation illness but not yet mutants. They attack the apes by using clapped up school bus and jeeps plus assorted firearms and mortars. I am hoping for some figures based on this.
The Island of Dr Morreau is another ElastoWit set and these are the figures I have painted so far.
The armed humans are very suitable for various 19th century conflicts with armed civilians or mililita. Two of them are shown here.
These two figures are my resin copies of ElastoWit. I sometimes make temporary molds from glycerin and gelatin to make a few extra resin figures. The figure at right came out of my mold without the tip of his rifle so I had to build it up with wire and putty. The face also was deformed so I added a beard!
Here are some other ElastoWit figures that show a nice variety of poses and individuality of personalities. The sergeant has a multi-barrelled weapon.
By the way, the building is a painted wooden block with added plastic door and a window made from a Warhammer 40K Dark Elder/Drukari vehicle spare part.
These are two figures from the Forgotten Heroes set. They are based on comic heroes, but I don't know the background of the Indian with crossbow. The other figure I painted as the Rawhide Kid. I am not sure if that is the intention as the comic references I saw did not have face masks. He could also be painted as the lone Ranger, if given a grey outfit. The Rawhide Kid also had some colored, patterned arm bands that I have not yet added.
This is one of the cannibals from the Robinson Crusoe set.
I'll be posting more figures from these sets when I get around to painting them.
PS
I have been shown the colors of 'American Eagle' the mutated American Indian, and they are mostly blue, so I am going to do a partial repaint!
Great figures and paintjobs! I'm impressed by howmany you manage to paint in a reasonable time. I'm doing a couple of 1:19 scale figures now, and just the 2 of them have taken me several days already.

I usually paint between 8 and 24 figures at a time. I just do all the same colors on all the figures then move on to the next. I usually do any shading and highlights whilst paint is still wet. The main color is quick to do as I use a largish brush.
