HAPPY 72ND BIRTHDAY NICKO MCBRAIN (5 JUNE 1952)

One of the big ones today. Started by bass player, Steve Harris back in 1975, Iron Maiden should be familiar to even people who aren't metalheads. With hits such as 'Number Of The Beast', 'Powerslave' and 'Two Minutes To Midnight', the band are still going strong today. 

The Derek Riggs mentioned here is the original artist who came up with the band's mascot, Eddie The Head. Seen here as part of my recreation of their second album cover, Killers. He also provided covers for their other albums, including Number Of The Beast, Somewhere In Time, and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. 

Quite pleased with this one! Yes, it's my interpretation of something that already exists but I still like how it turned out. The pose is slightly off and some of the background isn't 1 to 1 accurate, but it's alright. Also nice to see what I can do with some dying pens...

OH SHIT IT'S CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE DAY TOO? good day for senseless cavalry charges resulting in horrific mass casualties I guess.

To celebrate finishing another paint job, I thought I'd had a pint 🍺

This is The Trooper, Eddie from Zombicide and Iron Maiden + their beer.

I think I'll be using this little Chap in my Praetorian Guard army as a company standard bearer.

21 YEARS AGO THIS MONTH -- MCFARLANE TOYS UNLEASHES "THE TROOPER."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a print advert for the Eddie the Trooper 6" action figure by McFarlane Toys, based on the 1983 vinyl single by English heavy metal band IRON MAIDEN, and which was also included on the band's "Piece of Mind" studio full-length.

Ah, Eddie Maiden, and more than a far cry from the utterly unimaginative, lamestream franchise tripe that McFarlane has been spewing out over two decades later, which as a result makes me really glad I got out of collecting toys when I did. These were the golden years of McFarlane Toys, alright, back when MT could do no wrong, on top of being the mightiest, scariest, goriest, and unholiest of all toy brands.
