does John Carter shave or wax?  ;)

What about back and crack?

Great paint job Michi.

Glad I didnt open this one at work. They already think I'm a bit unhinged.
Don't!

Why do the female characters have navels?

Because female navels are cute? ;)

I didnt think that the ERB books specified that the Martians did not have navels because they were born from eggs, but I could be wrong.  I figure that there is a placenta of sorts (like a chicken egg yolk or something) in the eggs.  Presumably the Martians connect to that during development.

As they are a species that can succesfully interbreed with homo sapiens, I am ok with cutting the sculptor some slack in the navel department ;)

I guess. It is easier to cut the sculpter some slack, then it is to fill the navel in with milliput, or to fill in the old heritage navels.

Egg-layers don't nurse their young, so Martian women shouldn't have breasts either, but no one complains about that...! ;)

Very nice, although your usual photographed-against-the-sky effect is somewhat alarming in this case. :)

Nice paint job. Anyone ever post up some comparison shots with Tinman and other pulp models, Artizan, etc.. to show how they scale up?
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

Good call.  I would like to see them alongside some Bronze Age not-Barsoom stuff in particular if anyone can manage it.

:o  Good Lord, how has Hammers missed this thread?  lol

Lovely paintwork - your flesh tones are superb, even if I'm not sure I like the figures themselves all that much  :)

Who's missed anything? :) I been ogling these miniatures for a while, thinking I should enter one of them in LPL4. But now Michi's squashed those ambitions with his excellent painting skills.

I am glad you remembered that quote as I was only thinking the same thing when I saw this on saturday. (It would never do to repeat ones own quotations) lol :D
