And I did say they were the Hinchcliffe ones.

First up Hinchcliffe Green Martians. 8484/5
Now available again from broadsword miniatures (Mike McGuinness)

Just wanted to draw peoples attention to the fact they are becoming available again.
As I said, my youngest brother used to have some.
Their reappearance if well timed, as Wiley Games have launched Great Adventures in
the Age of Steam (GAS) for Victorian Sci-Fi. And I really want to do something along
the lines of 'John Carter, Warlord of Mars' (Barsoom)  :)

Thanks Sam.
Basic figures are from HeadBunny 3d print.
The Brothers were miscasts (no arms) the arms they now have are from surplus Sci-Fi arms.
Manufacturers seem to provide extra arms, heads, etc. I want someone to do extra bodies.
It seems the only way is to use miscasts.  I have seen someone use cheap WW2/Near future
figures as a basis. I might have a look at that again.

Graveyard furniture looks amazing - well done Peter - and the Sci Fi buildings full of interest. Makes a great backdrop for your games.

Thank you Gregor. I hope you get to see & play with some of it in 2025.

As long as it doesn't all get sold in the 'Big Declutter'
(Please note, gentle reader, that over some sixty years I have yet to manage a successful declutter  ;D. It just leaves room for more...clutter lol)

I don't know if what I do could be called a 'Prune'...
I have often been told to, 'Cut that out!'  lol

I found another Pompey (Portsmouth FC) supporter in Rugby!
Well just had to paint him a figure. I used a Eureka's 28mm 1950s one.

Having painted him I suddenly thought  ??? just when did players start wearing numbers?
Twenty minutes on the internet provided the answer, plus a lot of other information, hence
the twenty minutes. He needed a number, so I added '9' good old centre forward.
The figure was appreciated by the way.  :)

Used some scratch built Droids in a recent sci-fi game.

Looking at the pictures the 'Orac' (see through cube) base wasn't noticeable enough,
plus I had plenty of the blighters, so I painted half of them with Tamiya transparent
Blue. The other half with the red. Now I can use the blue ones on regular patrol,
then swap them with a red one if they are about to attack/make an arrest/ Explode ???

My friend Gregor, aka Zingara, kindly donated some bits.
Here are some of them. Only minor repairs required.
