Great stuff all around!  That photo gallery of yours keeps inspiring me to work on my own collections. Top notch work!

I'd meant to ask, what are those insectoid looking figures you have posted. those are marvelous alien nemesises (nemesi?)

Marc - The Insect Men are Kroot bodies with heads from a Mongoose starship troopers mantis bug (can't remember exactly which and think they have stopped production now). They were inspired by this TMP post

http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=128197

I picked up 10 Kroot for £2 from Ebay and 12 heads for 30p each, so they were a bargain too!

Prof - The sinister gent in the wheelchair is something I had in the bits box for 10-15 years. It's either RAFM or maybe even Grenadier. I can trawl Stuff of Legends to try and track it down if you like.

BTW - how do I post photos straight onto pages. I'm normally technically proficient, but seem to become a complete idiot at this. A simple Cut and Paste doesn't work and I've fiddled with the IMG buttons and inserting HTML links but to no avail.

The Shark Troopers are from WestWind Superfigs range. Also sold by Old Glory in the US.

I was just admiring that figure thinking oh what a nice peice then I noticed he had a brain in his hands. Quite put me off my cheese sandwich.

Dodge - There's no excuse for spoiling a man's sandwich - many apologies!

I've not seen it for sale anywhere - I guess Ebay would be your best bet.
