More Diehard Law Enforcement and Others

 I think all of these had separate heads, and some had separate hands. I pinned the hands to make the bond more secure. For the heads, the set of minis came with various heads that could go on different minis, so you could mix them around to suit. I also found/scavenged a few heads from other places, some loose heads from some other minis that came with separate heads (I think some came from Hasslefree Minis, from a set with heads to spare), and some heads I clipped off of other minis.

There are a few more law enforcement figures of various types.


(two angles of this space cowboy since it was hard to get a good shot of him without shadows)


And a group I painted mostly in reds, as a possible crew or team of some sort.

More Gray, same shades

 These are the rest of the Diehard Miniatures troopers of this type.

"Hi Mom! I opened my faceplate. Can you see my face?"

Striking some heroic poses.

And now, a group photo of the full troop.


On to some other Diehard Miniatures next.

Painting with Gray

 Assorted troopers from Diehard miniatures by Tim Prow. I'm not totally convinced about the gray color scheme, but it was fairly easy to do, and looks different from other sci-fi armored troops I have. I'm also unsure about leaving the faceplates black or making them some other color.


"I thought we were getting white armor?"
"HQ tried it out and said it was too fiddly and hard to get it clean"
(here is a test figure; I think it did look kind of cool, but, yeah, it was hard to paint in some areas and I didn't want to do bunch of minis this way. I had started on a few more and ended up stripping the paint off of them part way through.)



So I tried the grays.
"These dark gray uniforms look kind of sinister don't they?"
"Does this mean we're the baddies?"
(I guess it might depend on the game/scenario? Or how I use the minis? Or if I put some color on the faceplates; like if I made them red, that might look more sinister? What about a green or a blue or something?)
