Hoo-boy, I am shaking off the rust! I did a fair amount of painting over the summer, but it's been a few months since I picked up the brush. So a small project as I stretch my muscles by way of a Christmas gift for my dear old Dad.
He's a big fan of 50s sci-fi, and has a modestly-sized toy collection in that vein, so when I saw these figures from Hydra Miniatures I knew I had to get them, paint 'em up, and make a contribution to his collection.
Since they're meant for display, I didn't spare the garish colors and gloss varnish touches. I think he'll be pleased with the results.
These look absolutely brilliant David and I'm sure your dad must be delighted with the gift. I really like the saturated colours you went with, especially their groovy red boots and the purple rim on the bases. Very cool!
These three mean little green men will give you 15 points for your debut on the roster. Welcome aboard David!
Great painting work. They look really... dangerous!
ReplyDeleteThey are so much fun, I love them!
ReplyDeleteIf Hydra miniatures were easy to get hold of I am sure I would get these now! They really do look splendid
ReplyDeleteBriliant colours, hope your Dad likes them!
ReplyDeleteNice! Very retro.
