Cat and Mouse

I forget where the 2 cats are from (maybe Reaper or Counterblast or ?). The rat is a Mantic Veer-Myn. I got the starter set to try them out as possible generic ratty sci-fi figures for skirmish games. They are multi-part plastic figures, which I am not fond of. I would prefer metal, but they are fun figures.

The cats are metal figures. The cat guy is probably supposed to be a tiger, but I wanted to paint him more like an orange/ginger moggy. And then I decided to paint the cat girl like a tuxedo cat. Her gun is very fine and fragile - not a great thing for a metal mini - it keeps getting bent and so could very well snap off one of these times.

      Thanks! I only wish I knew of a line of space cats so I do a whole group, from Siamese to fluffy great Maine coon cats, and all sorts of garden-variety moggies. :)

      Thanks! The ginger one was inspired by my old cat. He has something in his mouth, but I swear it is not a cigar - probably a cat treat or some toy. ha ha

    Cool! I like that girl-cat-sniper - but that barrel looks so thin! I would totally end up breaking it!!

      Thanks!
      Yeah, I think it's just a matter of time. I've already bent it back and forth a few times just cleaning it up and painting it. I will probably cut it off and see if I can drill a hole and make a new barrel with wire and beads or something.

    Lovely painting as always. Do these cats get used in games?

      Thanks!
      I haven't yet, but I have a few sci-fi skirmish games where they could work.

      Thanks!
      I'd probably paint more cats if I could find more good ones. Someone should do a range of sci-fi cats of different types/breeds!
