Very cool! Love the way you painted the skin.

A really nice mini.

Post by: Hitman on 02 October 2012, 12:38:14 AM: That figure sort of reminds me of Lou Gossett Jr. in enemy Mine.

Nice work on your painting and basing.
Thanks for sharing.

It looks really good anyway. It really feels "Martian".

Post by: Sinewgrab on 02 October 2012, 03:20:05 AM: Beautiful. This is a dangerous thing, because now I am picturing them as Narn, and that may overcome my resolution not to to buy them, as I already have 3 Martian races...

That is fantastic!

The skin has already been mentioned and its great, it is kind of becoming your trademark, but the patina on that armour takes it to another level.

Superb!

You have really caught a sense of movement in the posing of the miniature.

The painting is not too bad either......

We have some swords and other blades in the works to allow you to do just that, so no need for conversions. :)

Superb work on these, can we add them to the Red Planet blog?

Why do I have dread of a bad YouTube coming out of this?

Artifact of the camera position, of course, but for a sec, in the first piccie, the knife almost looked like it had a hypodermic opening instead of a double blade. Bit of a double take, that.

Oh, yes. Before I forget...

Wow...
