Robot Archie

The Archie sculpt is a 3D print from a design by Random Miniatures on Patreon

The original a Robot Archie was portrayed with silver and then red plate. With his appearance in Zenith adding details to show his love of House Music and match him up with the other superheroes in the team Black Flag which he was now part of.

Zenith 4. The Blue Wizard and Tanya

 The completion of my first Superhero group within my Zenith Project, the Amazing Three!

I had already added Oakman who I picked up from Attica Games (as Timbre) and found that one fo the digital Patreons I subscribe to, Random Miniatures had released a set inspired by the Defenders of the Earth. The figure of Mandrake is a great fit for the Blue Wizard. For the final member, Tanya, I have used Eldritch Foundry figure creator with some GS to create her hair

Zenith 3. Thunderbolt Jaxon.

 Returning to my Zenith Superhero's in a gap between other projects, I have finshed off Thunderbolt Jaxon.

The sculpt is from Attica Games and their Champion superhero figure

Thunderbolt Jaxon in his original comic run had several colour variations on his costume but the all red one seesm to me the most common so I have gone with that one. 

In the Zenith story Jaxon appears in the grand gathering, third form the left with the circular belt buckle

He is later tragically murdered by the possessed Wyvern when his magic belt fails to activate

The full team so far.

Tri-Man, Leopard from Lime Street, Cat Girl, Thunderbolt Jaxon and Oakman 

Zenith 2. Cat girl and the Lepard from Lime Street

 On a roll with my Zenith Superhero, I completed my next two costumed adventurers, Cat-Girl and the Leopard from Lime Street.

The figures were based on another of the sculpts from Attica Games, ManxCat, with Cat girl being reposed and a tail added while I added some extra base scenery so I could add a nod to his Lime Street sobriquet.

Zenith. 1. Tri-Man and Oakman

 

If i was to list my top five Comics/Graphic novels Zenith would be there. Originally the story was serialised in the pages of 200o before being realised as collections and to me stands up next to Watchmen and the Sandman.

The link below leads to a fantastic resource for the story and the huge number of Superheroes that appear (abet some very briefly) as well a summation, needless to say it is a story that I have read countless times and I hope to bring as many of the characters as I can to (28mm) life

The Zenith story introduced not only its own original super team, Cloud Nine, and various descendants but also drew from a host of other older UK comics Heroes and a Cthulhuesque threat in the Lloigor. 

I first started thinking about this in 2019 but it wasn't until 2021 that I actually started moving forward and completed my first Superhero in the shape of Tri-Man

I wanted to try out one of the online miniature sites as well as a test for filling the future ranks and used Eldritch Foundry to create the figure and my Elegoo Mars 3D printer to build.

This year I am determined to make a better start of the Project and completed Oakman who is  a metal sculpt under the name of Timbre from Attica Games
