They're "Ray" heroclix figures, with jetpacks and pistols added, with the Rattrap Productions' emblem for Star Command freehanded on the scratchbuild banner.

The second entry has a great scene. It all works very well on the photo. I really like the coloring and overall look of the scene. Well done.
But the first entry is my favorite. It shows how good the clicky sculpts can be if one paints them well. The group looks very nice together and a freehand always scores well in my book. Very cool.

Buzz is not currently present, having had to deal with another Ingram-caused diplomatic incident.  By "diplomatic incident" I mean "fistfight".

The backpacks are made with two wings off a 10mm APC from Reaper's "CAV" line, plus a missile pod off a different model in the same line.  the pistols are from Reaper's "Futuristic weapons pack", a product for which I am privileged to have sculpted two of the three sprues and therefore have rather a lot of laying around.

Not a bad banner Froggy, but it needs to be bigger in order to be appropriately heroic.  lol

The zombies are really nice and, in my opinion, deserve a higher portion of the vote.  However, the rocketrangers are great.  I'm impressed as hell that they all, if I understand Froggy's comment correctly, started off as the same figure.

Thanks.

I pulled five rookie-level Ray figures out of the discount bins last Wednesday and entered a sort of fugue-state of converting and painting, till I got these finished midday Saturday.

Second lots of nice things said.

However, I need to know who makes that dead little girl, please?

Rocketmen look nice, decent background and nice layout. The hero in the second entry really caught my eye...looks just like Van Helsing. The set up looks really great as well.
Victory is guaranteed to the last man standing, but always remember those whom you stepped on to get there!!
