Repainting Cheap Train Figures for Slasher Gaming

As mentioned in my previous post I’ve been working on some figures for playing out a slasher movie scenario. They’re very cheap train layout figures I picked up from Amazon, 100 for £5.

I went for the standard basecoat, wash and highlight:

Criminology Professor Albert Fielding

Albert Fielding is taking his students on a trip to the abandoned village of Hobbes Fief to understand the unsolved case of the Raven Murders.

Student Ron Parker

Ron is quiet and shy, deeply involved in his art projects.

Student Alfie Rains

Alfie is confident and good with the ladies, he’s in good shape being captain of the cross country team.

Student Jessie Hamilton

Jessie is an aspiring criminologist herself, in between playing netball.

Student Sarah Jones

Sarah’s focus is fashion and beauty, but living on a farm she knows how to use a shotgun.

Student Beau Powers

Beau is a talented actress and as Juliet hopes to get Ron to play Romeo in the school’s production of Romeo and Juliet, but it will most likely be Alfie.

Student Hayley Coward

The new girl at school, Hayley is the social outcast, and her obsession with serial killers isn’t helping her make any friends.

The Killer

The Raven originally struck ten years ago slaying the entire population of Hobbes Fief 15 people in total, bar the Vance family who escaped. The father of the Vance family Conrad was eventually arrested, tried and hanged for the murders even though his family attested to his innocence and even heroism in protecting them from the Raven. Theories of a police cover up abound and the legend of Hobbes Fief being the location of an ancient druid treasure only add to the conspiracies.

The whole gang stumbling through the dark woods.

  1. Oh man, for such a larger scale, you think the molding would be better, I was thinking they looked more like N scale figures!
    Nice work on the painting and storyline!

  2. I think the scale is the same, it’s just the railroad track width difference between UK and US standards. I still love what you did with the figures, proving state one need not start with the “best” sculpt to achieve a great paint job!
