Now to decide on the colors for space wasps...

I'm considering black and yellow, I'd be interested to hear what you're thinking...

Always liked ichneumon wasps personally.  Black body red legs, this one is especially nice

It's exactly a year, today, since I started this project (albeit not a year since I first posted about it)...any excuse to bump the thread   :D

43 miniatures....and counting.

Wow, I know you had made all of those but didn't quite realise the scale of it until you posted that piccy.

Glad I got some, they are going to come in very handy indeed - and very nice they are too. :)

I got my space wasps painted. I made three very different bases and colour coded them for ID during games.

These are quite spiteful mini's, cleaning them and painting them involves contact with those spikes so expect some ouch-ouch-ouch moments. I mixed up the wings on mine for variety but I'm not sure you can see it. Also spent too much time working out how to paint the wings, I tried some pearlescent medium which is an expensive way of not just mixing some, more effective, white and silver. In the end I've gone for an off-white highlighted with silver with a gloss varnish, although in the photo it does look solely silver.

Lovin' that line  lol


Nice painting, the red eyes make them look really pissed off. Wings look great.

Just finished the drone, although there's a hair in the photos which I've since removed...  >:(

I have to say whoever made this model must be one hell of a chap - charming, handsome, a hit with the ladies, loved by animals and small children. I bet he even has a fine moustache - I'd like to shake his hand.  8)

Looking slick Phil, very slick. A very versatile bit of kit.
