Yeah, and he should have painted them red not blue

Maybe they are really supposed to be some ugly bastard Martian Hobbits.

So....tempted.....to....get.....into.....15mm sci fi!!.......Nooooooo!!

Between your thread Mark and Khurasaun miniatures you really are all bad influences!!

This is a great project, just read the whole thread now and enjoyed it very much.

Ignore those chaps talking about bigger miniatures, they're probably over-compensating.

Do it!  you know it makes sense - and they're so much faster to paint than those 28mm figs

Glad you're enjoying the project - I can't possibly comment on the over-compensating bit; better check that with Malamute and Bibbly

I'll get the mm ruler.

Started work on a 4' x 4' terrain mat - the usual construction method of cloth (in this case a fleece blanket) covered in caulk and sand.  Just waiting for it to dry before painting.

[OSHIROmodels]

Come on, there's more pictures than that 

cheers

What the photo of his Stilton and onion sandwich from lunchtime?

[Andym]

Do you need to paint it? That looks a fairly good natural colour to go with!

If you insist 



Seeded brown wholemeal with raw onion, Dorset Stilton and a dash of Heinz Salad Cream.

I made a test piece a few months back to work out the colours for my sic-fi basing and to test the material and the mat's durability.

I've found that painting the mat gives it a more stable surface and traps the sand/grit in the paint. The unpainted mat shed its sand quite badly and was very harsh on the figures.  Painting it also has the benefit of all the terrain and figure bases matching the playing surface, something that I'm a bit OCD about

Image below shows the test piece with the test terrain items and some figures (excuse the quality, it was taken on a mobile).
