First of The Space Bastards.

"True Scale" space marine, but at 15/18mm scale, so about 24mm tall to the top of the head. Colour test for The Space Bastards livery. Not sure about the Dorothy ruby slippers. Might switch those to green for future Bastards.

Next up, a few more Marines.

Space Bastard II

Another 24mm tall, 18mm scale colour test marine. Model by BigMrTong. Happy enough with these two to push on with a few more in the same colours.

Nice paintjobs!

If you're not sure about the red footwear, would maybe dirtying/scuffing them up a bit work? I like the idea a lot in theory, but see what you mean about the Dorothy slippers. A more worn/used look might reduce the slipper factor?

Like that second sculpt a lot too. No idea how that first sculpt deals with anyone behind him/her 

[The_Beast]

I've no issues with the boots. Dirty them up and you'll have to [adjust] the rest of the paint.

...No idea how that first sculpt deals with anyone behind him/her 

Like all Sontarans, must only face the enemy.

I like it, it has a deep sea diver feel
