KIDS ON WHEELS

 


Here are mine & Julie ( my wife’s) latest KICKSTARTER. Kids on Wheels, based on young kids in the 1980s inspired by “Kids on Bikes” RPG, “ Tales from the Loop” RPG & such TV shows as “Stranger Things”. I enjoyed painting them with a 1980s palette

Citadel The Lord of the Rings ME-73 Barrow Wights

 


Taken with flash on Canon 200DD. Repaints, I tried out different ethereal coloured glow effects.


Same position & camera though without flash. Kept both because I think they both work.


A selection advert showing part of The Lord of the Rings range which included the above Barrow-Wights form 1985.
