Well I've been a bit quiet of late but there are a few things on the workbench I can share:

NBC suited troopers:



Part of my World War Z/near future troopers. Were going to do a haz mat colour scheme but kinda fell back into my old fav of kharki/black (delta) look.


Anyway simple colour schemes, very happy with the lenses and other neons, two on the right finished, the others show paint up from undercoat, basecoat and kharki/black.

Great figures, £1.25 each too!

That's a nice contrast between the black and the khaki. 8)

Nice color choice as well as a nice paint job. I just did a group of them for zombie hunting one set is in white (which is a pain to paint) and one in greens, they cam out pretty nice (i'll have to post them) But I really like your  color choice.

I like 'em. :)  nice colour choices, I have been wondering how to paint these to achieve a different look and now I think I have found it. I might have to steal this idea. Thanks for sharing :)

Am I right that those are old Copplestone sculpts?

I think those are the old Copplestone that EM4 now carries.  They are more military and the new ones at Copplestone castings are more civilians

Yes they are the older Mark Copplestone sculpts carried by grenadier and now sold by Doug at EM4. Mark's newer stuff at copplestone still has a load of miltary and corporate guns, but with a far few other pieces too, EM4 stocks quite a range from hairy bikers to suited G men, cops and savages too.

Either you're trying to make a point or you have some very unfortunate typos  :) Either way, nice squad and colour scheme, when can we expect piccies of the finished group? ;)

Very nice painting. I really like the colour scheme.

EM4 do some very nice miniatures. It's just a shame that the pictures on their site aren't very good. It's only when you see them painted well on other sites that you realise how good they can look.
