Nice one, I got one of the K9s a while back, they actually paint up pretty well:



Also have a Slitheen, but haven't touched it yet as its really bendy. How are you planning to repaint it? Or are you not?

I remember seeing that one, looks great.  :)

The plan is to just spray it black and paint it.

I've repainted a few rubbery Star Wars models before and it seems to work okay.

PSS-1 Tramp Steamer Sailors 1
PSS-2 Tramp Steamer Sailors 2
PSS-4 Tropical Castaways
PHP-1 Film Crew
PHP-2 Rugged Heroes 1
PHP-8 Safari into Danger

Last week I also got me a second hand partly assembnled Copplestone Armoured RR (which I just finished glueing together today - now it's time for some serious greenstuffing...)

And I got some packs from Copplestone:

GN9 Sleuths
FW10 Babes with Guns (for zombie games and other NF)
FW15 Terminator Robots (heheh..  >:D )
FW17 Babes with Guns 2
FW24 Men in Black (should go nicely with my Brigade 'Greys')

I'm lining up to get a lot of teams painted before the next season of LPL (let's see if I can keep up steam this year ;D ) - I'm determined to end in the best half next time I participate  ;)

Sounds like a good find there.  :)

I wish I had an Asda near me, they do good pork pies.

Just got a Warzone Golem of Darkness from Matt of Hydra Miniatures

AND

he included a saurian with spear and a plant-man as free-bees! Very nice sculpts, I'm definitely going to have some more - they can be used for a lot of things, like Pulp or Fantastic Worlds  8)
