Title: And now for something a little bit different...
Post by: OSHIROmodels on December 04, 2014, 08:31:18 PM
Mars in 10mm!

 :D

My personal shopper got me carried away at Warfare so I had to buy a box of Pendraken Sudan colonials. I thought they'd be too fiddly to paint but they're not too bad, the only hard bit was the basing.

They're a bit of a shit to photograph and they need a flag but fairly happy with them  :)

Ha, all well and good (and they are very good) but speaking as someone who has fallen down this 10mm road a few times will you be able to sustain it as an on going project?  I hope so.

To be fair my interest has waned due to lack of decent models for my needs but these look more than suitable for Mars.

Thanks chaps  :)

With any luck we'll be getting some scaled Martians done  :D

They look good, ya mad fool...!

But 10mm??

Are you losing the plot completely?
Has Dr De'Ath been hypnotising you again?
Does Dobbie know what you are proposing?

Mad, I tell ya.
Bleedin' bonkers!

When I read the title  - my first thought was I hope it's not a photo of his dinner. :P

Great figures - Martians?

Probably my Pendraken Frenchies until we sort out the Martians!

Nice start. What's the base size?

James is going on a diet and has chosen smaller figures to compliment his smaller meals  lol

Thanks again gents  :)

Does Dobbie know what you are proposing?

Yes, yes and yes  :D

What's the base size?

20mm x 40mm although it might be basing on 20mm x 20mm as smaller square will be easier for columns, squares etc.

Great figures - Martians?

Eventually, yes  :)

cheers

Now you can have proper sized 'nef battles!  :-* :D

That's the general idea :)

20mm x 40mm although it might be basing on 20mm x 20mm as smaller square will be easier for columns, squares etc.

Fortunately I went for 15mm x 40mm, so at least our units' frontages will be compatible

Excellent, always good to see more 10mm, especially such nicely painted ones.

Marty,

I have absolutely no intention of being sucked into this project and have made my thoughts on the subject known to Hagrid on several occasions. ;)

You are indeed correct this way madness leads. lol

I did not believe the rumours of the incredible Martian shrinking ray to be true :)

Nicely turned out little beggers though.

I've got a collection of 10mm stuff too.
There! I feel a lot better now that is out!   ;)

Looking good there old chum. Will watch these developments keenly.

Has Dr De'Ath been hypnotising you?


Guilty as charged, ask Hagrid about the 15mm too  :D.

Pleased I did though, he's done a cracking job on them.

Maybe these?

Pendraken tripods from their sci fi range.

First unit of Frenchies finished except for flocking their bases. I've gone for a 24 figure unit with three figures per 20x20mm base. At 8 bases this will give plenty of flexibility for formations. I went for only 3 figures per base due to the length of the protruding bayonets extending beyond the bases if I went 2 figures deep. Photo soon.
