Hasslefree Post-Apoc Scoobies & Jayne Cobb

Hi, friends. I recently got the Hasslefree Miniatures Post-Apoc Scooby Gang and got them painted up. My son Mark also painted a Reaper Mini version of Firefly's Jayne Cobb. I did a little work on it to finish it off. I love these minis.
Here's Jayne first. I love the way Reaper made him with the cool hat from the Firefly episode "The Message".




I didn't include a close up of Fred. I need to fix his face some more.


I'll soon be working on the Armorcast Mystery Machine but will give it a Post-Apoc theme.

On an unrelated note I got a Continuous Ink Supply from CIS Inks. I had heard about it over on Morbious' blog. I've been wanting one for a while and got it hooked up and running today. I've got a bunch Of Stoelzel's Structures I still need to build and this should help a lot with that.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you have a great day out there.

  5. I love the Scooby gang, brings out memories, hehe. Can't say I'm familiar with the first miniature, I'm afraid.

  7. @BrutPaul: Thanks! I actually found a place that sells those hats. I think I found a Christmas present for one of my sons. :)

    @Irqan: Thanks. Yeah, maybe all that painting practice helped. :)

    @Brummie: Thanks. They are very cool. I'm so glad Hasslefree did them.

    @Vampifan: Thanks very much. I was looking for some more of the Reaper minis for more Firefly folks, unfortunately they only have one more, Mal.

    @Jay: Thanks, these fun to paint.

    @Mathyoo: Thanks. The Scoobies bring me a lot of good memories, too. The first figure is a representation of Jayne Cobb, a mercenary and crewman of the spaceship Serenity. It was from the short-lived Firefly, Joss Whedon's Fox TV series.

    @Anne: Thanks, I'm almost getting as good as you. Even though I've been painting about 20 years longer. :)

    @Fran: Yeah, you're right. He named it Vera. Vera featured prominently in a couple of episodes. One cool gun. :)

  11. Excellent paintjobs Joe! While it was a good episode and that hat became iconic for him, I still like the episode "Jaynestown" the best.

  13. I have been eyeballing these WIPs from HF and am jealous. You did a great job on the painting.

    As for ink, I think you find the CIS helpful. I did the halfway upgrade and went with spongeless re-fillable tanks, and am happy with the change (though I do miss my old laser).

    We're about to get pummeled with the storm coming up after the hurricane. I'm sure you'll get it right after us. Stay dry!!
