I began the week painting the CMON The Others’ Envy Controller.

I had a couple of extra infected/corrupted figures from the CMON The Others’ base game, so I decided to paint two more of the old lady hobo figure.  But this time I did some minor modifications that would allow me to use that figure in other ways… I carved off the evidence of infection so she is now just an old homeless lady.

I next decided to do another of the corrupted figures from the base game… another hobo.  I repeated this one in order to place it on a sidewalk base rather than cobblestone.

Probably my favorites of the 7 Sins’ figures are the Sloth avatar and abominations.  I did six more of the abominations on sidewalk and one more of the avatar on sidewalk.  For sidewalk, I used Evergreen plastic half-inch Sidewalk.

Through the week the work continued on 7 Sins’ figures:

·      3 Envy Abominations on turf

·      6 Slot Abominations and 1 Slot Avatar on turf

·      1 Wrath Avatar and 1 Avatar Controller on sidewalk

·      3 Wrath Abominations on turf

·      3 Wrath Abominations on cobblestone

I began the week painting my third and final CMON Captain Nemo.  I wanted one on a base that I think will be more compatible with the look of the Nautilus.  With Nemo done I turned my attention to a couple of CMON Rising Sun figures (Jinmenju the Ghost Tree Spirit and Yuei the Ruined Spirit).  I’m not sure how I will use them, but I love both figures.  I actually modified Jinmenju by giving it about a half-high addition to its trunk covered with scored Milliput.  The original tree looked a little short to me.

With those done, I returned to painting more CMON The Others 7 Sins’ figures… Pride: six abominations and the avatar.

Before moving on to more 7 Sins’ Pride figures, I decided to paint a Zombicide figure I purchased several years ago.  To my eye it has a strange steampunk quality to it.  It is called Grand Inquisitor Innsmouth.  I think it will work well with my CMON The World of Smog figures.

I ended the week painting three CMON Envy abominations, an Envy avatar and two Sloth controllers.

Let me begin this week by clearing up a mystery from last week.  The coffin figure I painted last week has now been identified as one of the figures from the Daily Zombie Spawn Set.  That said I will add that one of the figures I am painting this week is also from that set.  They identify those figures as a zombie gardener, bride and a cat lady.  I had done some light modification to the figure which I will be using as an infected GhostBuster figure.  I also did two of the Controllers from CMON (Pride and Greed).  I should note as a reference that the Sins Pride and Sloth come only as part of the base game.   One of those I will also be using as an infected GhostBuster figure. 

With those done I returned to painting another of the 7 Sins.  This group of Abominations and their Avatar are from the sin of Sloth.  These may well be my favorites.  Here is the color scheme for those.  As usual I am using Vallejo Model Color:

·      Green Grey (106)

·      Green Grey + Green Yellow Mix

·      Royal Purple highlighted with Blue Violet+Magenta+ Pale Sand Mix

·      Ochre Brown+Beige Mix (teeth)

·      Black Grey with London Grey highlight

In addition to the wonderful monster avatars and abominations provided by The Others, I also painted a multi-headed creature I think I picked up a while ago at a Brookhurst Hobbies’ Bring and Buy.  I have no idea who manufactured the figure but it goes well with those from CMON.

Before turning my attention to the seventh of the 7 Sins’ Avatars and Abominations (that being Envy), I decided to paint two of the non-sin avatars: Pestilence and Famine.

I ended the week painting the first of the Envy Sins (an Avatar and three Abominations).  Envy turned out to be the most difficult of the Sins to paint.  I could see the colors but bringing them together effectively involved a lot of trial and error.  Here are the colors I used:

·      Green Grey

·      Green Yellow

·      Saddle Brown

·      Khaki Grey=+Gold Brown+Beige

·      Brown Rose+Red

·      Pale Sand

·      Outlined the base of spikes/teeth with Black Brown
