Cheers! Well I went with the metallic effect for the spawn pits. Here are the two finished up. Think they'll be useful in a game if only to get the players worried about what may jump out!

As usual I'm late to the party, but your greenstuff work on those RT minis is just superb!.  I've always loved RT stuff, (Squats in particular) and your figs are great. Did you ever finish the Zombie marine cast-up?

Hasn't been much progress on the zombie marine since the floors have been taking up my time recently. Will get back onto them soon! I've changed my mind on the seperate heads idea and will just make a selection of pose variations.

Thanks!! Spent a bit of time converting this lovely KillerB mini today. In the process of giving her a laser pistol. Think she'll make a great character figure and that her funky clothes could look pretty sci-fi.

Warhammer Foxy-thousand! lol

What an inspirational thread! Looking forward to seeing the fishmen and the funky lady painted up. Where did you buy your fishmen from? I saw some on eBay last night for £99 each! :o I nearly died!

Loving the floor tiles and great news about the future web shop. That big-headed droid is ace too!

I paid £20 for the two fishmen on ebay. £99 each sounds a bit much!  :o

I finished the gun on Foxy and also did a bit of prep on a vintage Ral Partha robot from 1977! Lovely vintage true 25mm figure. The arm was pretty weak so I replaced the cast powerline to the gun with one made from copper wire. Added strenght to the arm as well as being thinner. The gun was pretty basic looking, like a retro hairdryer, so I added a few doodads to tech it up a bit. He's gonna be a great little robot when he's painted up.

I'm jealous! Would like a load of those old Spacefarer minis. Just recently bought one off ebay so maybe the start of a wee collection!

He's my painting table atm. Been painting the close combat marine in a yellow scheme. Not a colour I use often and tricky to get right but he's starting to get there now. Also working on this resin floating spybot. I originally made this a few years back but it never went into production.

The Spybot would work well as a space station too. How come you never released it?
