This is a model I have had on my wish list since I first saw it, Puppets War's Fat Plague Gentleman. This is the first model from Puppets War that I have ever painted. I have to say that I am really impressed with the quality of the model. There were very few mold lines and no noticeable air bubbles; plus all the pieces fit together without gaps. This model is pretty big too. That is a 60mm base that he is covering up.
I chose to paint him with a human skin tone because I find a realistic color to be more upsetting than greens or other unnatural colors. I did a lot of the painting with different colored washes, red in the sores, green on the rotting skin, and purple in the recesses.
In this side view you can see that I added a lizard creature to the base. This model is very reminiscent of a certain Star Wars villain who always has a pet at his "feet", so I wanted to include one on my model as well.
This model has a lot of things that I really like including the humorous and disgusting qualities. It was a real pleasure to paint, and now he will make an appearance in my Chaos Space Marine army as a Daemon Prince or a Greater Daemon. I hope you enjoy the model.

This model is gruesome yet fascinating at the same time...I can't stop looking at it!
ReplyDeleteIt't like what if Jabba and Nurgle had a baby??!!
Well done Michael!
What a ‘cutie’! Wonderfully disturbing, but brilliantly executed. Top work Sir!
ReplyDeleteFantastic model. Very nicely painted too!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like Pizza the hut from spaceballs.
ReplyDeletePestilence... WITH STYLE!
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon this model recently myself, and instantly loved it. You've done a good job of making him look pestilent (particularly in the entrails). I really like the highlights you did around his skin though.
ReplyDeleteAny chance we can get some size comparison shots?
Thanks for the comments everyone.
