Very nice score! I like how you've painted them up too. I'd be hard pressed to pick a fave as they are all so great. Maybe Ghils, as he looks a bit like something out of the Legion of Super-Heroes comics. You should order another Iron Golem to see if you get 5 again, haha!Fausthttps://doubledowndice.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720801445504663403.post-81985365000119122282022-07-10T15:58:51.114-04:002022-07-10T15:58:51.114-04:00Ha!

I was also surprised at how cheap the alien minis were which is why I snapped them up, and for 3D prints they really are good. There's some minor print defects here and there but generally they're unnoticeable once the paint's on.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08624491160014232874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720801445504663403.post-76292358882423533272022-07-08T20:30:03.606-04:002022-07-08T20:30:03.606-04:00Two quid is a pretty good deal for a mini of that ...Two quid is a pretty good deal for a mini of that quality! Etsy is certainly full of overpriced things but I have noticed more and more miniature related stuff there which is cool to see. These sculpts and paint jobs look great and I agree that they make for some great civilians in a Sci-Fi game. I'm not a Sci-Fi expert but the designs do remind me a bit of the Mass Effect video games which is pretty cool. I like the last sculpt which reminds me of some of the aliens that have popped up in Disney Star Wars movies.<br /><br />Lastly, it looks like you got one over on Jeff Bezos with those golems! ;) You'll put Amazon out of business if you keep it up, Matt!

LOL<br />Can see a lot of pop culture influence in the sculpts, Ilqens reminds me of ET and Misloi reminds me of the species from Babylon 5, not that's a problem at all.<br />Great result on the order, must hav been your day mate !

As soon as I read the words Etsy and The Black Hole I was off to the site looking at the figures 'inspired' by my fave Sci-Fi film, and yes, money was exchanged as a result. LOL!!! Great painting on the 3D prints - They look super-stunning imho. Ilqens is by far my fave, the way he's holding himself whilst walking reminds me of the late great Dennis Waterman in Minder. Corking sculpt and terrific paintjob too. Nice grab with the Iron Golems too. I've painted the one by Wizkids from their Nolzur's Marvellous Miniatures Dungeons & Dragons range, but do prefer the Reaper one.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.com
