May I suggest the following as being "of the right stuff"

They also do some VERY nice mad scentists in wheel chairs (!) etc that fit very well into a 50's retro sci-fi world...

That's absolutely tip-top.

The warthog is very reminiscent of the latest Dan Dare comic by Garth Ennis, very modern looking.

Excellent.

But I seem to recall Dan Dare's uniform as more of an emerald green?

Yes it is, but I am using the colours on these figures that I have planned for the rest of my British force.

Excellent work on these so far...the little bubble on the Warthog completely changes the look of it and helps it mix well with your little force. It is another one of those simple conversions that really sets things apart.

I am LOVING that! Another reason to get the Warthog!

It's amazing that you can take such a futuristic design and make it fit so well 'retro'.

Well done!

Whilst waiting for the guns to arrive, I thought I would paint the Antennociti Warthog as a ommand vehicle, still need to add some more stowage.

And a couple with the figures painted so far (no close ups, til the guns are done)

I decided to go with the clear bases (aviailable from Oshiro Model Terrain: http://www.oshiromodelterrain.co.uk/gamingaids.html, excellent friendly and helpful company with good service) as I wish my games to take place in corridors as well as alien planets and this seems the best solution.
