Steve, those Last Night on Earth minis you painted up look really good. I was wondering, what was the significance of the upside down triangle on the bases? If they are a signiature of some sort, I like them.

Thanks.  I use the bottom point of the triangle as the basis for measurements, calculations of angles of sight and fire and so on.  It saves worrying about where on the base or figure to measure from, or whether a figure partly covered by a template is caught by it or not.

Right, enough about me, those ships are brilliant The Slicks are stunning, lovely shade of red and Austin powers, well, I just need an Austin Powers, where did he come from?

The Slicks are stunning, lovely shade of red

thanks, GW foundation Mechrite red, vallejo model flat red, and white - simple clean red which I'll be using from now on. GW badab black for shading. I'm quite happy to admit that I like the newer GW paints. The slicks are very nice models, I might even get a second set at some point..

Who makes those dogs? They look good.

[matakishi]

Dogs are from Gripping Beast.

Thanks.. looks like they have pigs too, and 90p per mini is quite affordable... hmm..

...I just need an Austin Powers, where did he come from?

I think its a Blue Moon mini.

Yup, from the British Agents set:

Only just got around to photo'ing everything I did, haven't had a chance to sort the website paintlog yet so quickly whipped up this in Photoshop's contact sheet option

A nice array, Nick - I look forward to seeing them larger.  But where did you get the Outer Limits Zanti misfit? (See http://www.homevideos.com/outerlimits/ol14.htm if you don't know what I'm typing about.)

Cheers Steve, it's from Gary Mitchell's range of figures that goes with his Space Vixens From Mars game

  Only finished 8 this month, with another 8 or so 75 percent or so done. Bad habit of mine. My photo taking ability needs even more polishing than my painting, so bear with me.
