Belated further thank-yous for the nice comments.  My latest output is a pair of spaceships and a pilot for one of them. 

Amy Johnson is the second daughter of an incredibly wealthy noble family.  Having discovered she had both a taste and aptitude for racing, she set about acquiring a very rare (and technically illegal) de-fanged Alpha Class fighter, suitable for the popular intra-system single seat racing classes (as long as no-one asks too many questions about her unusual yacht’s providence).  As well as making it slightly less illegal, the weight saved from removing the original’s lascannon has improved Slaying the Dreamer’s speed, acceleration and manoeuvrability.  Amy is Anvil Industry, with an Artel W pistol (from the female Law Enforcement Unit senior officer) and the A Wing is a Revell click-fit kit.









Dream of Mirrors is a trans-atmospheric light freighter, of a rugged design used by large merchant combines and independent operators alike for surface-to-orbit transfers and intra-system shipping.  Originally an Avengers Quinjet toy.

The ships are excellent choices, and the painting on the miniatures is top notch but I really like the hanger bay set up you used to display them, most excellent. Thanks for sharing and I'll be looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.
We haul ours to kick theirs.

What a fantastic set up, it looks amazing! Great weathering on the ships and a beautiful array of miniatures.

Thanks.  The hanger bay is from Battle Systems' terrain - it was quite fun putting the setting together and populating it from my collection.

(Next up is some space cops for Necromunda.)

Those ships are great.  I think I've got the Avengers one somewhere in my toybashing bin.  I had no idea the A wing was so close in scale for 28mm. May have to pick that one up!

Awesome work! The painting really adds to the models  8)

I have the same Quinjet (it came with Captain America on a motorcycle) almost done, as a dropship. It retains the wings and had some stuff added to it though...

And indeed: the A-wing is an excelent find!

Oh, and the cleaning droid is hilarious! Where is it from?

That's a really cool scene- love the pilot. Excellent  :-*

The absence of the outer wings from the Quinjet was because that's how it came from eBay.  ;)  This one was just a (relatively) quick and dirty one.  I've got another, larger Quinjet that I'll put more work into at some point.

The Sanctioners of Bastion 99, Part 1.  A new Necromunda campaign has prompted me to get my Sanctioners (Enforcers) built and painted up, so here’s the first batch.  Having already figured out the colour scheme with Sanctioner Dick a few months ago, it’s been quite nice to focus on the painting and not worry about thinking the colours through.  The figures are the rather lovely Artel W Law Enforcement Unit.  More to follow…

I like the pattern on the sniper’s cape - it looks plausible and fits the scene. The rest of the team look excellent, too.

Thank-you.  The camo scheme was a flash of inspiration as I tried to think of a way to make it look sufficiently different from my PDF Goon sniper (page 8: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=91726.105).  It was surprisingly easy to do, mostly being a lot of vertical streaks with thinned down colours, and a black wash in the middle of the process.

I'd missed quite a few updates to this thread!

Those Artel W Law Enforcement Unit are amazing, I'd consider getting some for my own collection only I think half of it is the superb paint job on them! And that hanger bay is a superb background!
