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

He's looking good. :D

Only another twenty or so to paint before Salute (which is next week) ;)

Varnish  :) Had a look for pearlescent paint but no joy  :(

We're looking at squads of eight for now.

Cracking stuff.  :-*

Looking forward to fondling these in the flesh at Salute which is only 202 hours away at the time of typing. Do you need much sleep ;).
Don't!

I am also particularly fond of the cloven hoof you have used on their feet. This has all sorts of interesting implications.

Such as "did early Martian contact on Earth lead to legends of a cloven-hooved evil being"?

Just thinking here...

But it is an original sculpt idea, and I applaud you for it. If I were not already so heavily invested in other Martians, I would be looking quite closely at these.

Maybe Venus needs another sapient lifeform. Only have three in my fluff background right now...

I'll jump ahead of Bibbly and say, Bugger off!

Just lost 4 days that had been set aside for Salute preparation due to wife and daughter emergency hospital call and illness respectively. Everything is looking fine (find out for sure tomorrow afternoon when tests come back), but it's made this upcoming week a bit tight... Like it wasn't going to be anyway  ::)
So many projects..... so little time.......

So do I mate, odds are good that all is fine, test results come back later. Just typical that it all happened on the days where I was free and at home with plans to do stuff.

Just had a call from the doctor, sounds like the initial problem is fine but they've found something else :( Both of us have to go into hospital tomorrow to give blood samples so they can run comparisons.

That'll be another day lost then!

Health first, mate!

That is the really important thing.
