Yep, but it now wears a suit with hooves....

really cracking PJ and all, and also gerat idea to use the collar as a suit neck, but I'd paint him barefoot, cause it looks a bit strange.
Lizards have their genitalia in a skin pocket btw, and males have two  :D

I love these kind of abstract conversations about toy soldiers, their genitalia etc. :)
I read the feet as toed rather that hooved, it's wearing ninja socks ;)

Looking good Hubba, very nice painting and the backgrounds are icing on the cake.

Regarding non-anthropomorphic sci-fi races showing skin... I'm not a huge fan of the old 'exposed feet and arms' thing that seems to happen. You know, an advanced race, hand held weapons, body armor... except for the feet because they're not human feet, the aliens just can seem to design a functional foot covering? I guess its a way to show they're not human...

Nice sculpts PF, I like them a lot. Very cool.

Thanks for the comments :)
Two new additions; Iron bonce from the first Rogue Trader releases, and the 'Point Man' from the original Void Syntha line, (Fantastic mini :-* :-* :-*).
Plus I took what I hope are better photos of PF's minis, 'cause I think they deserve it, and then an updated group shot. I'm just missing a nice looking sniper to round the group off and then on to some pirate types.
To finish off some bendy SW battle droids I bought off Rodrigo.
Just tried to clean up the most obvious mold lines and based them. They'll do the job of generic meanies nicely, cheers Rodrigo.








There maybe some fluff to follow, we'll see how inspired I'm feeling with the stinking cold I've got, (another one!).

Wow Matt, that group shot is great! The way you paint the figures, they all blend in! Mercenaries from across the Galaxy, unite!

And it's nice to see those droids like that. I'm glad you saved them from just sitting in my pile  lol

Hope you get well soon. Those colds are the bane of our existance here, in our lovely Iberian Peninsula. You get sun and warm weather most part of the year, but as soon as it gets cold...it's flu time!  ;D

Things are gettin' heavy round here...

Dreampod 9 Mech thing, to be played as a combat droid a la 'ghost recon'.

Idea shamelessly nicked from Denatus. (inspired choice of model)

Not sure faction wise, I think it might go with the gas masked baddies from Urban Mammoth's 2nd gen Viridian line.

I really like the group shot. Those droids are giving me some ideas of my own.

Do you know if the aliens are available yet?

 :o

A stunning thread, chock full of great paintjobs.
 :-* :-*

You make me want to buy all of these figures, and you have joined the various styles and manufacturers seamlessly with that painting style.

Aliens are probably saying the same thing about folks wear skin suits and leave their heads exposed.
