Ironclad Miniatures's Martians and a Martian Ruin
« on: February 13, 2013, 05:35:01 PM »
This week I completed two 10-man GASLIGHT units of Ironclad Miniature's Martians, as well as a ruin constructed from some styrofoam packaging.
The ruin was made from the top half of some packaging used to ship wine bottles in that fellow HAWK Greg Priebe gave me. I thought it had a neat industrial look to it, and since it was partially broken when I got it, I decided to break it up further and make a ruin.


Also coming off the workbench this week were the last figures remaining in my two 10-man Martian units for GASLIGHT, using Ironclad's interesting Martian figures. I really like these figures with their kind of Pathan-inspired look and their unusual breathing apparatus and masks. I will use them as some sort of tribal hill Martians, and their unique appearance will help differentiate them from my other Martian units from Bronze Age Miniatures.

Stirring stuff! I really like the way you've painted the Martians.

The ruin looks very funky too - nice bit of packaging there, I can see I'll have to get people to send me more wine if that's the result (no, really, it's just the packaging I'm interested in)!
