This is really cool and interesting, what paint did you use for the armour on the Kaas Ak Thaal clan

Thanks chaps  :)

It would be good to find a complete copy of Von Stypher-Dykes works.

cheers

James

Well if you've got a spare £28,500 you can . . .



Looks in pretty good condition considering the age



Or you could borrow my copy  lol

Photos of my recent efforts are at www.littleleadmen.com and https://beaverlickfalls.blogspot.com

They certainly look like a first edition pair and most unusual to see both volumes  ;D

Shame there are no internal photos as you can tell by the quality of the illustrations. They were the hardest part to fake. ;)

I am sure the Doctor could manage to do the illustrations easily enough.

Fakes are really easy to spot, though: Apparently the little grey aliens really have brown eyes, not the blue ones as in the fakes..

It took a while to read through all the glory that's been posted. I think it's next to impossible to comment on it now since it's too much brilliant stuff really.

Congratulations to a fantastic project Bibbly-San. :--)

Thank you kindly  :)

I think I'm going to follow up on some of the items that have been started in the past (many,many pages back) and try and get them done before expanding too much more...

Unfortunately the hanger went the way of the bin but the design has been revised and will be built again at some point  :)

cheers

Loved the Martian Askaris - great mix of the "Indigs" with the occasional off-world item of apparel.  And Prof. von Styphen Dyker looks a total rascal.

Finally started on starting to finish previous projects on the thread, the first being the cargo neff.

Still the aerofoils to do but the rest is done. I've got a mind to make some Victorian cargo and cast it at some point but we'll see.

Wonderful creation, once again. Love the look of her, extra kudos for wear and tear on her. Will you add perhaps few fenders on the sides?
