The Pork Chop Express

I finished this bad boy up today. Now I just have to paint up my Jack Burton Mini.

 

Some zombies for scale purposes.

 

Aliens!

It took me awhile to get around to buying these as I feel they are kind of pricey. Like $4 a piece pricey. I'm glad I did cause they are really cool. Thinking about picking up the whole AVP: The Hunt Begins game now.

Also, 5 more towards my painting goal bring the total to 93 of 120.

Barrels

I'm totally counting these cause they worked out so well.Which brings me up to 88 painted miniatures!

They started out as part of a set like this. Not this one but a cheaper version that I grabbed at Walgreen's or CVS.

Anyway, I sprayed them with a Krylov gun metal spray that, I think, is now discontinued. I can't find it anywhere. Next I "rusted" them up with some orange and brown paint. Then I printed out some poison and biohazard signs on sticker paper. I cut them down and stuck them to the barrels. Viola!

Here's a shot with a mini in it for scale.

WWII U.S. Soldiers

Here are a batch of WWII era soldiers. These are Wargames Factory miniatures, which are maybe not the most period accurate minis around but are just fine for my wargaming needs. Plus, they were a great deal with 30 miniatures in the pack.

Here are some shots of my finished paint job. I printed out the patches on my ink jet printer and stuck them on the arms. They're a bit bigger than they should be but I wanted them to be noticeable and legible.

Also, the colors are a little off on the uniforms but, again, for my needs they work just fine.

15 more miniatures done, which brings my total up to 80.
40 more and I meet my goal (from last year).

I plan to alter the remaining 15 soldiers to be more of a 50's - 60's style. So they'll match up with the Mars Attacks cards.

I might even try to make a flame thrower unit or two. Hmmm....
