I had an emergency trip to Gravesend Model Centre the other day to see if they had some 1mm or 2mm flock for my Almansa project which luckily they did! I saw this chap on the shelf and thought he'd be an easy greyscale figure, as he's a Grey Alien.......
My Rude Grey Alien is from Wargamesculpter Miniatures.
I know greyscale means grey, but I had to put a little colour on the figures as I just gave him a succession of light grey drybrushes. So I gave him green eyes and also painted his cigar!
You can just see the orange tip of the cigar in this pic.
He's not my best work and if I'm being honest, he's not the best figure in the world either, but I quite like him, he will unfortunately be put in the draw of doom, never to see the light of day again. Unless one of you fine readers wants him that is??? Drop me a line?
So my Rude Grey Alien will earn me 5 pts for the figure
and 20 bonus points
Good way to grab the bonus points Ray! I recently saw someone else who had used the same sort of technique to paint WWII miniatures (I think) intended for use in a " night time only" game....it's quite effective isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt is, Keith.
DeleteTo my eye, your alien sculpt has a bit of charm.
ReplyDeleteCheeky, yes.
DeleteFunny figure Ray.
ReplyDeleteCheers Rich.
DeleteThat made me smile Ray, nice one!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like him Donnie.
DeleteIf he makes you smile, why not?
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteGreat work Ray. He's doubly rude because he's not wearing trousers.
ReplyDeleteBut he has got shoes though?
DeleteA cheeky couple of extra points ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery cheeky!
DeleteNice! Is his name Paul?
ReplyDeleteCould be?
DeleteVery funny one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Benito.
