Close combat marine...

Here's a WIP pics of a RT era close combat marine I've been working on. Reckon he's pretty much finished just a little more weathering perhaps. Painting the yellow parts was tricky. Not a colour I'd look forward to painting again! I've painted the blue/black and white stripe pattern on the lower leg to link him to the two other marines I've currently painted up.

Orks and a bot...

Just a pic for the fun of it!

Space fox 2...

I finished the gun on Foxy and also did a bit of prep on a vintage Ral Partha robot from 1977! Lovely vintage true 25mm figure. The arm was pretty weak so I replaced the cast powerline to the gun with one made from copper wire. Added strenght to the arm as well as being thinner. The gun was pretty basic looking, like a retro hairdryer, so I added a few doodads to tech it up a bit. He's gonna be a great little robot when he's painted up.

Space fox!

Received this mini from KillerB today. She originally had a cigarette in her right hand but I wanted a little more firepower for the lady so in the process of making a laser pistol for her to wield. I reckon her funky clothes won't look out of place in a sci-fi setting. The only other thing I'm thinking is to add a holster on her right leg. Could be worth the extra trouble.

New recruits!

Received some new figs throught the post this week and managed to get them prep'd. All off ebay I managed to get the laserburn fishmen figures that were cast up by foundry recently. Lovely old sculpts with great detail and the integral type bases I much prefer to slotta tabs. Along with them I got this minifig Earth conscript sci-fi fellow. These old figures have a real charm about them.

Backpack prep...

Photo says it all really! I had been prepping marine backpacks indiviually as I needed them but decided to get a batch ready all in one go. The speed I paint this is probably a years worth of backpacks!

Sci-fi floors...4

I made a room tile with a hole in it to act as a spawn point in games. Could have all kind of creatures popping out of it or just be a hazard when travelling through the space. Have some cast up now so deciding whether to paint the edge in a metallic "aliens" style or more of a hardened putrid goo! Will have to see once the floor parts are painted.
