Hello chaps. I'm trying to get back into the swing of painting and modelling after a loooong break and decided there was no better way to do it than with a spot of VSF adventuring, inspired by all the good stuff on display here.

So I built this:

DSC_8650 by ReanimatedImagery, on Flickr


DSC_8656 by ReanimatedImagery, on Flickr

The figures are Warlord Line Infantry and the dinosaur is a 99p job with mould lines cleaned and repainted. The scene was constructed on a CD base. Full details of how I built it can be found on my blog here: http://critfailure.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/the-dark-continent-takes-form.html

Thanks, chaps. I'd quite like to do something Martian, but wondering what to use as the Natives. None of the Barsoomian style ones I've seen tends to appeal. That part of me that quite likes facing chauvinism head on fancies getting some Mahdists and just painting them green....

I've seen all of your AAR; one of the major inspirations for both the model and the Carry On style names in the write up on the blog :)

Looks great. I tried to send an email to redplanetminiatures@gmail.com but it failed. Are they still available? It says on the Red Planet Miniatures blog that the figures will be available from Ochiro in the New Year but the last post was in June so not sure if that means this year.

That's a worry that the email isn't working  :?

They'll be on the Oshiro website in the next month  :)

Inspiration has struck - but can anyone help me? I need a photographer - you know the sort, hunched over his camera with a cloth over his head, flashpan held aloft.

Anyone know of one?

This is embarrassing; been hunting for a couple of days now, no luck.

I was sure Nick at Northstar had some, but I must have been thinking of the cinematographer.

Tried Eureka; they have a little of EVERYTHING, assuming you can drill down hard enough in the website.

Tried...

Sorry.
