From JamieM - Pulp Sci-Fi Started (35 Points)

As my gaming tastes expand out from 40k (the game that game me into the hobby in the 80's and then back into the hobby after a hiatus in the 00's) I spend an inordinate amount of time looking at other game systems and miniature manufacturers, generally of the skirmish variety.

Two games that stood out as looking like fun were Pulp Alley and 7TV. Both looked like labours of love by their small company makers and gave me an excuse to get some unusual figures in..... And all gamers need is half an excuse!

As I was putting together some sci-fi scenery for infinity, and having a general love of sci-fi, I decided I'd go for some pulp sci-fi. I found the "good guys" relatively simply and they should be finished soon, but it took me a while to find my equivalent of the baddie storm troopers. These figures are from Statuesque Miniatures (who is also the UK supplier of Pulp Alley) and they had the right amount of 70's/80's cult sci-fi TV silliness for me, right down to the combat high heels and sci-fi equivalent of the D&D chain mail bikini.

I like my dystopian far futures nice and bright, so bright yellow armour glazed over white with a sepia "black line".

I couldn't decide if I preferred the helmets or the bare heads, so I split them and had the best of both.

The bases are resin hexagons, because I think we've known since the 70's that the coming of "The Future" will be heralded by the realisation that hexagons are far better than the boring squares and rectangles that we build with today.

Shown below is my painting area and the painting "station" can be cleared up onto a high shelf when required and the other boxes cleared away.

My one recommendation would be the clear acrylic nail varnish holders that you can see just above the paint station. Cheap as chips, hold paints brilliantly and as they are clear and stepped it's easy to see all the paints. I can also recommend 12 year old Clark's shoeboxes like the one at the top in the middle as I haven't had the heart to replace it given the sterling work it's done for me!

Damn!! I was just prepping these very same figures and you've beat me to the punch! Haha! This is the second time this has happened to me and both with Statuesque Minis (the first being DaveD's excellent Dillinger and Long Sarah). Actually I'm kinda happy with how this worked out as I think your's are brilliant and I may need to rethink how I approach mine. I love the yellow plaststeel thong-armour, especially when matched to the redheads - wonderful colour combination there. I also really like the tech bases you've used for these - they fit the theme perfectly and are very slimming. :)

Good tip on the nail varnish rack as well and I find your loyalty to your Clarks paint storage box very commendable.
