"Praiseworthy alien god-being and handbot scanned alongside measuring implement.  This is a kindness."

Back from the dead, almost.

Have to say that I picked them up today in WH Smiths and put them back again  :(

Great work Steve.

Bit of a David Walliams thing going on there with the Handbot! :D

Waiter, my soup is giggling.

I  put them back too, only because I already had enough already.
You have a gift of bringing out the best in these very basic miniatures.
If it were not for these grotty freebies, we would be in some difficulties.

Looking really good there Steve. The eyes on the minotaur are ace.

Sadly I haven't been able to find any in the vicinity - as it goes, I probably don't need many handbots (though more generic robots are always useful), and I suppose it won't be hard to find a minotaur if I need one.

Yes, the Minotaur paint job is amazing, considering how uninspiring the bare plastic sculpt looks! 8) 8) 8) 8)

Didn't pick any up, as I didn't think I needed the one handbot! Not likely to be a 'Army' re-release in the near future, and I don't think it's likely that the series will reuse them anyway.
All I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by...

Thanks, chaps: I really haven't done anything special with these - it's all there in the model.  For cover mounts on a kids' comic they are, Cybermen apart, really a lot better then we have any reason to expect.

Well, I have to say my attempts at painting the Ood, Judoon, Silurians and Silence came out far better than I expected - I'm a total muppet with a brush, and they looked OK, so I have to agree with you - at approximately 17p each or there abouts, they're pretty good value I think.

I will be trying to get this - the Minotaur looks like a civilian Minotaur indeed makes a difference from the usual axe carrying muscled bovine.  It could be used to make a statue as detailing on a building or some such likewise the angels would be great for a cemetery. I am sure other interesting uses can be found.

So far, all I've gotten are the Daleks x 17. If anyone can pick up extras, and willing to ship to the US, please do mention it on the Bazar.

Even for the repeat 'extras'.

Thanks!

The Weeping Angels are ideal for that use.
I made a very quick piece of scenery for Strange Aeons with them.
Highly recomended if you can get hold of them.

What episode did the minotaur feature in?

The hand bot, judoon, ood, etc I am familiar with.  I don't recall the minotaur (I also don't watch every episode, as some were just too cheesy for words).

"The God Complex" - the one set in a fake hotel.

Ah.  That one.  Thanks.

It wasn't one of the "good ones" that I missed then.  :D

(Unlike the wife who grew up with B7 and DW, I didn't.  I still regard them as little better than panto - and the wobbly cardboard sets don't help).
