Title: Heroes In A Half Shell
Post by: jdeleonardis on 17 November 2014, 08:00:38 PM: I loved TMNT as a kid, back before they made more kid friendly. I thought I would give them a go (all red bandanas, prior to changing the colors so the kids knew which turtle was which!) These came from the Greebo minis kickstarter, and were fun (but tough) to paint.

And no, I have no idea how he can wrap a pizza into that.... :D

I wish they had a webstore somewhere...

Post by: jdeleonardis on 18 November 2014, 12:31:56 PM: Thank you very much for all of the kind words!

Looks like the black balls that Tiger Hunter has around his neck may be the winner!!! Although, could be 'pizza balls' too :)

Thanks very much! They are probably slightly smaller than 28mm? Perfect in my opinion. I dont have a picture, but they scale nicely with Crossover's ninjas.
