V for Visitors

[YIU]

Be careful the East Riding Miniatures are far taller than usual 28-30mm.

Some ideas :

Star Wars Kota's Militia and Elite Kota's Militia :





Czerka Scientist :



Galactic Alliance Scout :



Galactic Alliance Trooper :



and of course Star Wars Empire officers :











There is also a resin shuttle model kit :

I'm waiting for my next CD delivery to work on helmeted troopers and a charismatic leader. Stay tuned

I reeeeeaallly dig what you're doing here!  I'm working on a Traveller project so I know how much time you spend making sure things are 'just right'!

I like your blog, but couldn't find a button to allow me to follow it.  Any ideas?

Also, I like your sci-fi scenery bits, where did you get them?

Eagerly awaiting more pics,

Faust

@ faust23
Thanks for the kind words . That follower's button only appears when it wants to .. by refreshing the page, you should find it pop like a devil out of his box ^^
The scenaries you mention mainly come from Ainsty (http://www.ainsty-castings.co.uk/), within their refinery range. The building appearing on one of the pix is made of facades released by Pardulon (http://www.pardulon-models.com/).

I love what you've done with these. I wanted those Time Lift Security figures for some time. I just couldn't decided what to make of them. I think you've made up my mind.

Someone already makes visitor shuttles....

There isn't a ruler, in the shot, but it is 3 1/2 inches long

Here comes the WIP shot :



Beside Anna and young Starchild, there are 3 modified miniatures : first comes with a lezard head with shades, retaken from a Star Wars plastic mini (maybe turn him into some high rank NPC, or special commando ... have to figure this out), the 2 others are guards on which I put the helmets from East Riding corporate cops (bringing more dynamic poses to the gang). Still another one to work on (including shades), and I'll have a whole staff of Visitors (exception made of a female pair that should be done one CD release their "angels" from the Time Lift project ... then I'll try to come with an heroic staff including a female scientist, a reporter and a zealous mercenary (for that very one, I might have an idea on what mini to use)

Great stuff!

Don't suppose there will be some alternative heads coming out to make life easier for mere mortals?

have you seen the new remake of V - that's how you can go wrong with it, american cop/detective show instead of sci-fi wrong
