75mm sci-fi pinup figurine - Morrika

This 75mm sci-fi pinup figurine brings Morrika to life as a ferocious warrior ready to tear through the battlefield with a massive chainblade and flame-belching exhaust pack strapped to her back. Standing at 75mm scale, she is a commanding centrepiece figure with wild flowing hair, studded pauldrons, and armoured boots planted firmly on a debris-strewn base scattered with skulls and broken swords. Every detail has been captured at a high level, from the rivets on her shoulder guard to the chain teeth running the full length of her oversized melee weapon.

This is a physical resin miniature. It arrives with supports already removed and surfaces cleaned, ready for assembly if needed and straight into your painting queue. The sculpt suits grimdark sci-fi collections and sits perfectly alongside other heroic-scale infantry on a standard display or gaming shelf. The dynamic pose and expressive face make her an ideal showpiece for painters who want a challenging and rewarding project.

Morrika is a single character release suited to collectors who enjoy painting individual hero models. Her sculpt rewards careful attention to fabric, metal, and fire effects, and the large weapon surface gives plenty of room to practice freehand or OSL (object source lighting) techniques. The 75mm sci scale means details are generous and accessible even for intermediate painters working without magnification.

Dimensions: 75mm from base to top of head approximately. Supplied unpainted. Painting and assembly materials sold separately.

The following guide walks you through a recommended painting sequence for Morrika, designed to get the best out of her sculpted details and create a striking grimdark sci-fi display piece.

1. Prime

• Apply a zenithal prime using black from below and light grey or white from above at roughly 45 degrees to establish natural shading across the armour and hair.
• Allow to cure fully before moving to base coats.

2. Armour Base

• Block in the armour plates with a dark steel or iron base coat such as Leadbelcher or Scale75 Speed Metal.
• Apply a secondary warm brown or leather tone to the straps, boots, and body suit to separate the panels from the metal clearly.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out rivets, studs, and raised edging with a bright silver highlight, working with a fine detail brush and edge-loading technique.
• Paint the face and hands with a warm mid-tone flesh, shade the recesses with a diluted brown wash, and highlight raised areas including cheekbones, knuckles, and the brow.

4. Weapons

• Basecoat the chainblade in dark iron, then apply a directional drybrush of bright silver along the teeth and upper blade edge to suggest wear and sharpness.
• For the flame effect on the exhaust, begin with a deep orange at the base, transition through yellow toward the tip, and add small touches of pure white at the hottest points. A glaze of Lamenters Yellow helps blend transitions smoothly.

5. Weathering

• Stipple chipping fluid or apply sponge chipping with a torn blister foam to the armour edges, using a dark brown beneath exposed silver chips to simulate paint loss over bare metal.
• Add streaking grime with a thin brown enamel wash, drawing downward lines from bolts and vents, then remove excess with a damp brush once partially dry.

6. Bases

• Drybrush the debris base with successive layers of dark grey, mid grey, and a final light bone highlight to bring up the skulls and stone rubble. Add a dark brown soil wash to the recessed areas and finish with a few tufts of dead grass for contrast.
