Noggin, part 1

Some guards/soldiers from the land of Nog. These minis are from a kickstarter by the Little Soldier Company. I tried to follow their color schemes as much as I could.

I have more miniatures from the kickstarters to paint in the coming weeks (I won't kid myself thaat it will only take days - ha ha).

Bunnies and Barrels

My latest bits, some bunnies and some piles of goods, all from Bad Squiddo. Good for set dressing. (shown here with a dwarf, halfling, and human, for scale)

Dwarves, Sci-fi, metal

A few dwarves from the Theoc Space Dwarves kickstarter.

These ones were trickier to assemble, with separate arms and weapons which didn't fit together well. Sticking them together with super glue and then sprinkling on baking soda before the glue cured seemed to do the trick.

These first 2 photos are the 6 dwarves I just finished painting.

And the whole crew/squad, including 8 others I painted some time ago.

Dwarf Lasses and Flying (Guinea) Pigs

Some dwarf lasses and flying guinea pigs, from Bad Squiddo minis.

(with GW elf and Bad Squiddo dwarf for scale)

Retro Future Rides Again

Presenting another batch of retro sci-fi figures from Hydra Miniatures. I tried to do eyes on some, but gave up and fell back on just slightly shaded eye sockets.

The "Rocketson" family (as listed in their catalog) - I based the paint scheme on the obvious inspiration.

"Galaxy City Gals" - for the 2 on either end I roughly based them on Star Trek women, as is probably evident. The one in the middle reminded me of people like Marcia Brady and Laurie Partridge, so I tried to capture that sort of look with the colors.

"Cosmic Kids" - the girl made me think of Alice in Wonderland, the boy in the middle made me think of a young Wesley Crusher ("shut up, Wesley"). I didn't have any ideas for the other boy; not sure if he was meant to look like anyone in particular.

A pair of "Centurion" robots, and a "Galaxy City Guy" - I have some of the robots without capes/cloaks, painted in a gun metal color, as a squad of regular robots; these 2 are more elite. The "guy" is just a generic civilian.

Retro Future

Most of the following miniatures are from Hydra Miniatures Retro sci-fi line.

A couple of businessmen or office workers

Two generic civilians

A trio of technicians or maintenance workers

Two space heroes

A steampunk figure, who could be some sort of spacer, and a leader of space amazons
(the steampunk figure is from Reaper, the space amazon leader is from Hydra)

A Little Seasoning

A bit late for the holidays, but I finished off these 2 Reaper Christmas minis. Traditional Santa with a bog of toys and a dragon-cat in a Christmas tree. It took a while because I was dithering about colors and wasn't even sure about some of the detail or final results. But they are done now. Last of 2019/first of 2020.
