Alien creature from cheap toy
« on: September 06, 2017, 11:27:36 AM »
Another trip to the zoo means another trip to the zoo gift shop, where you can get 10 plastic animal toys for £3.50. I am working on a swarm of these jellyfish, but I ran out of 2p coins for the bases.



And these charity shop jellyfish toy is going to be its mama:

Amazing what a new paint job and some decent basing can do - she fits right in. Nice job!

Agree with what is said above, what a wonder some love can bring.
Momma is another great one. Seems she even comes with her own forcefield generator. :-)
Another way of being frugal is to make your own out hot glue. Seen that done?

Also loving the troops, the conversions done to them. I see one Warzone squad leader with a new head and firearm swap and claw added to the left hand.
What are the sources for the Piggie brothers?

I have, but in addition to being frugal I am lazy.  ;)

They are pig-faced space orcs, sculpted for Foundry by John Pickford but never released.
