The Pig Iron stuff is great and fits in with a lot of old SF from my childhood- these specifically from the Dr Who story Genesis of the Daleks. The irradiated mutants roaming about on the surface.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

The website is still up, has it changed hands then?

Yep, new owners. They ended up buying Pig Iron when it was closing down.

Thanks all - yes, Pig Iron still going and have interesting newer stuff going on which is good news to my mind. I quite fancy one of their APCs as a wasteland vehicle actually.

Thanks so much for the heads-up on Pig Iron! Great looking stuff. I'm surprised I had not seen it before.

A really effective (in a good sense) paintjob on some interesting minis, they look great. I don't think I've ever heard of Pig Iron before.

Here's the next mini off the table - not been massively productive recently, but I managed to finish her off today and get a matte coat on.



I was inspired ages ago to do the conversion based on some of Axiom's excellent civilian stuff - she's the matriarch of a small family of arms sellers I'm working on (there's a thuggish son and and old gezzer dad on the way too). The arm and face injury add to her stern nature - i imagine a faulty radgrenade went off on the counter.



I'm dead chuffed with her - the Forgeworld cyber-hand slotted in nicely and my greenstuff bits (the hand, holster, belt, pouch and goggles) seem to have a nice balance and effect. All in all, a nice addition to the collection.

Btw, she's much shorter than she looks in the pics - that's a 20mm base.

Great idea neatly executed, the damaged eye and facial scars are a nice touch

That's a brilliant character and seamless conversion! The facial scarring is very nicely done. The add-ons look totally natural too.

What's the base figure for the conversion?
