I think the lighter toned one is more Alien 3?

That was the idea!
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - http://www.adpublishing.de

Ok, i think tonight I have to watch it again. Aliens (Part 2) left the strongest memories in my mind. And the last scene of Prometheus with this little beautiful alienbaby.

That was the look I was aiming for.


The next mini will be a bit more brown and less flesh like.

Fantastic paint job as always. I actually like the flesh color one. Since the stalker is based on the "dog alien" from Alien 3, you captured that look perfectly.

Wonderfull.
I like the look of the fleshy one, but I'm a purist so the origional is the way to go for me.
Looking forward to the rest and glad you got your toys.

Bloody awesome painting. Really pleased to hear it arrived.

Who knows, maybe one day I may be equally excited about this product. For now, it just induces panic attacks. :)

Nice work, Aegis. I must confess I didn't occur to me to use metallic paints for the aliens, and I was kinda dreading the day when I actually might have to paint them.... not that the day seems any closer yet.

Would 'tin bits' or equivalent work with/instead of boltgun?

Don't really know...
If tin bits is lighter than Boltgun just use an additional layer of ink, that should do it.

(And who is Aegis?) ;) ;)

Yyyup. I assumed Alien 3 myself. I also have one of these somewhere - a gashapon of a 'new warrior' from Alien Resurrection - and it's not too far off either.

See here. A 'biomechanical insect' made with metallic pipes, rolls royce parts and bottle caps. (Albeit painted over) And chrome-plated teeth.  :D

If we're thinking of the same tin bitz, it's a pretty dark, brownish metallic colour. Personally I'd use it more for a 'brown' alien, like those of A3 or A:R, and even then I might want it a bit lighter to stand up to multiple/heavy washes. Though that's without trying it, first.

Ups, sorry AGIS! :D

Tin Bitz is a kind of dirty metallic, slightly more 'brown' or maybe dark bronzy than boltgun, but about the same level of darkness. It used to be a GW paint, but that was from the pop-cap era. I still have a pot that works. Have to make some experiments, if I ever gets my minis.
