Here's a Blue Moon Manufacturing Aliens & Spacemen Crew woman converted for my Traveller project.





Enjoy!

She looks good.  I like the pale green, especially with her hair color.  However, parts of her look uncompleted; especially the gun.

Believe it or not, her suit is a dark yellow, and the gun detail is slightly washed out by the angle of the lighting.  I have to reshoot her in a couple days.

Did you use non metallic paints? I really like these models and I like the subtle brushed steel look. I think the weapon looks good as is. Can't wait to see the rest of the collection. Oh yeah I kind of liken the whitenenning effect to the helmet fogging. I have two of these that were painted by a guy in Raleigh NC who was closing down his shop. Too bad really they seemd to cater to the bizarre and the norm in there. Is that rifle from Foundry's Mean Streets? Overall I like it.

The metal is metal.  I use Bolt Gun Metal from GW and ink it down with Reaper's Black Ink.  Then I added Testor's Acryl Steel to the mix to add the highlights.  I don't know how to do NMM and its not really my style.

The gun is from the Foundry SWAT team Hammer pack.  You'll see the other Heresy & Hasslefree weapons when I get more finished crewmen.

I love that figure! The helmet is an awesome touch. How is it done?

It's a plastic bubble that you cut from a small vacuformed sheet of three bubbles.  You then file or cut it to fit and glue it on.  I suggest you use something that doesn't fog too much.
