How did you get such a smooth finish?

How did you get such a smooth finish?

Loads of thin layers, lots of filing and halfords auto primer.


Not in that order  :D

Orange and (especially!) grey are hard to do well, and here they're both done superbly.

Neat figures, too, although I note a lack of probes for the "Bend over, Mr. Streiber" portion of the festivities...  :D

I think adjusting poses and adding the odd probe or ray gun wouldn't be too tricky.  We need to get Mr Tengu on the thread.

Great stuff. Really nice clean painting. I did plan to increase the range to include Grey's with weapons though not got round to it yet, sculpted a couple of character types though.. and went off at a tangent and made a group of grey zombies  ;D Not sure if they'll go into production though.

Lovely stuff :)

I have often thought about getting some of those but have far too many projects on the go at the moment :(

My only other idea was to have an albino 'grey' (?) in the group.  Perhaps for the next lot  :D

Wow! Really wonderful paintjob there. I'm also really fond of the bases. It makes me want to buy the grey with helmet in his hands as well to go with the grey with helmet on which I already own.

Great work! :-*

Awesome paintjob, not only the orange, the grey skin is perfect too.

Will you play a specific game with those beauties ?

They look really nice. Well done!

Ditto; the possibilities are endless. Some sort of invasion game in the big city, or Copplestone's red necks versus greys or an Area 51 style game. Hmm

Cheers
Andy

They need some strange walker vehicle with a glass cupola and some death-ray cannon.

Not in that order  :D

Seen the Halfords primer mentioned in lots of places recently (and i know you've been an advocate for a long while) so bought a can of grey primer yesterday. Blasted a hanful of minis with it and it's done a great job. Not used a grey primer before (normally use black) and i can immediately notice how much more detail i can see on the primed mini. Whether this makes a difference to my finished minis remains to be seen  ::)

Oh yeah, as said elsewhere i love the job you've done on these minis  :D

Thanks for all the comments, no I don't game I just liked the idea of having a group of these sinister little fellas in my painting cabinet  :D

Nicely painted miniatures indeed. Tengu I assume? I would love to have these as well, and will propably get them one day or another. I can see many great games where these could make "guest" appearances! :)
