I now see you only wanted a sample so you could make your own flames.
They look spot on, mate.

Ah you've reminded me of the palaver. I did order up a pack of the flames direct from Armorcast, paid via paypal, but got no order confirmation which is standard for online shopping, waited two weeks, sent two emails, no response no claimed it back from paypal and decided to make my own, which having had that sample from you was easier.

Recalling this brings another whinge to mind, I ordered some decal from Fighting Pirannha, after 2 weeks no delivery so I emailed them which meant only then did they post them out. They're all one big decal sheet so have to be trimmed to size which being tiny is a pain, they're also not very high quality, many scratched beyong use by delivery, very difficult to work with. Shame.

Got a blister/blaster bug painted. I undercoated in sand, orange ink washed it then khaki and highlighted with Iraqi Sand.



I was inspired by the picture on the box it came in, and liked the idea of a crab coloured bug, I'm doing another like this, and the third in black and greys. I'm not totally sure which are blister bugs and which are blaster bugs but I'll have two of one and one of the other and for me they'll be interchangable.



These photos have produced one of those odd moments where the figure looks much better in real life and I'm happy with it, but looks a bit grim in the phot, which I'm not happy with.

Surprisingly easy to make and paint too. The hardest part was drilling out the flamethrowers.

Those Blister/Blaster bugs look really good. Please post a picture of all three when you get them done. I'd love to see how they turn out in black and grey.

The mahoosive plasma bug...


Not sure how well the paint effect has worked.


Appaling photo of Bill the Galactic Hero... includes two right arms.


An old GW 40k bot I discovered while cleaning out.

I've since removed irritating hairs...

...and put the final coat of matt varnish on.
