I will totally ask for help next time!<br /><br />I almost backed the Kickstarter but for some reason didn't, and now I wish I had. The figures are really good and fun to paint. I had to dig up some 30mm bases as mine also came with 20mm ones for some reason.

I haven't seen any of the Star Trek TV shows but I know the fight scene with the Gorn well. Shatner could have been the next Jackie Chan or Jet Li based on that scene :D Have you considered painting up some Stargrave minis? They might be up your alley if you enjoy painting sci-fi sculpts!Kuribohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142002129545901040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720801445504663403.post-57424220948197278512022-07-01T03:43:27.019-04:002022-07-01T03:43:27.019-04:00A very eclectic group of 'extras' and sipe...A very eclectic group of 'extras' and siper brushwork on all.Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720801445504663403.post-47626864976288304282022-06-29T10:59:01.103-04:002022-06-29T10:59:01.103-04:00Thanks Matt, I'll check them out.

Whereas the Reaper 28mm can be pretty large.

It's only a bit of fun, so you won't be visted by burly chaps in tight-fitting spandex threatening to kneecap you.<br /><br />If you ever want any advice/help on turning crap into viable figures, always happy to assist in any way I can.<br /><br />And I am healous of your painting on these. I backed this Kickstarter, so do have a box of some of these figures which will be joining my Distant Stars project at some point, once I've based them up. However, to match my other figures, I'm going to need some more 25mm slotta bases, as they all came with 20mm ones for some reason...Carrion Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243490491778253955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720801445504663403.post-84877711606195260142022-06-29T10:09:05.288-04:002022-06-29T10:09:05.288-04:00Thanks, Roger!
