Funny little grey fellers.
« on: 07 January 2010, 05:09:59 PM »
Back into the swing of things with some nice quick Copplestone Grey Aliens. Can't really do them wrong can you?

And after finishing most of the pack

 

You are of course left with the sitting down one. What to do with him?

Well, obviously it was a sign that I should try my hand at some scratchbuilding (first time, yay!). Inspired by several people on the forum, can't remember all your names, but props to you all. You know who you are.





(You are all liars, by the way. Plasticard is not easy to work with, and I have the scars in my thumbs to prove it, you miserable twisters.)

Anyway, that gives the little blighters some heavy support, either a plasma cannon or some kind of industrial strength probe, I'm not sure which.

Group shot!



C&C welcome as always.

Cheers!

JB

Not only do I open the thread to find nothing humourous although promised in the title but I am personally insulted as well >:(

Nice work JB. Particularly like the dome - bet Mallamullet is very jealous of that as it will not need polishing as often as his ;D

This is astoundingly good and I'm going to have to copy it at my earliest convenience.

I wish I could hate you for coming up with this before I did, but I really can't.

The grey chappie to the far left is not very hitech, is he? He seems to be performing rectal palpation old school.

Nice work JB. I really would like to see Copplestone add one or two packs to this one… Nice, "classical" Greys ::)

Good stuff JollyBob.  Look forward to seeing the farmers or whoever you decided will face this invasion.

...or some kind of industrial strength probe, ...
