Skiff is very nice :-* :-* :-*
You have been busy.
Has the website been set up yet? Link?

Better get a move on with that Skiff, my anti-martian balloons are nearing... almost completion :)
Show us some pictures then Dean.
We want proof :D

No can do, currently awaiting a delivery of plastic rods so that I can assemble the 'side bits' and put it onto a flying stand. They have to be shown in final configuration or the effect would be lost. I have to admit that with the Venezian colours etc, they've gone a bit art-deco but they'll look cool and have cogs!
So many projects..... so little time.......

Ooo, me likey.

Is it awful of me that the first thought I had was you could mix them with plastic Daemonettes as the females?

Exceedingly! Only topped by my first thought, 'Tau?'  ::)

Now that skiff is precisely what I've been imagining; I even gave the crew incredible skill at using laminar wind sheer between the upper and lower sails. In place of keel, don't you know...  :D

That skiff is EXACTLY what I have been looking for and wanting to try and build for myself for years for Martians. I love the lower masts, looking like wings and such.

Please get this in at a reasonable price point and I will buy two. Or three. Maybe four.

If I win the Mega Lotto, I'll buy a dozen and use them for Martian yacht racing.

Did a bit of work on the skiff master at the weekend but there's not much to show at the moment.

The skiff castings will not be ready for Salute but I'll be doing a couple of normal models that will be pretty much the same  :)

cheers

Great stuff, James!
 :-* :-* :-*

Missed this until now!

Looking forward to seeing these foriegners all finished and ready to go.
As previously mentioned, there are plenty of alternative uses for them.
Maybe a post in the Future Wars area would be a good idea too, they could very well make great Tau.
That skiff looks great so far, REALLY looking forward to seeing that finished!

Watching with interest.
Much interest.....

You realise that statement makes no sense at all without context? Possibly worse is that I still understood it  ;)

All back from the casters but with a minor hiccup I hope to resolve with them today  :)

Painted the leader and put together four troopers, piccies below. Not the best pictures but to be honest, I really haven't the time at the moment  ::) Hopefully better pics at the weekend.







Pack prices are £3 for the command figure and £9 for four troopers (you get four torsos, eight heads two sets of arms for each and about six weapons, maybe eight).

PM either myself of Malamute for more details or purchasing  :)

cheers

Very nice. Is that a pearlescent paint or have you been clever with varnish somehow?
