JamesM: 15mm Sci Fi Western Ships Crew (Lady Sarah's Balloon) -33 points

Hi folks,

Despite being distracted of late by real life (curse it's sudden and inevitible betrayal), I finally managed to get something finished! And having rummaged around Cookes Crevase for far too long, it's time to follow the flight of the glowing bugs and return to the black. Because you can't take the sky from me.

This weeks offering to the great balloon in the sky is a selection of 15mm scale models, who might bear some small resemblance to certain characters from a sci fi western ships crew. This is probably a tranquil co-incidence.


These figures are from GZG and were picked up at a bring and buy sale many moons ago. Possibly in Edinburgh. They have sat in my lead mountain for far too gorram long, and lept into the painting queue along with some other 15mm sci fi bits.

Of course, I couldn't just paint the ladies of the crew. I even attempted a Hawaiian shirt:



And the obligatory picture with 'something' fizzy.


9 x 15mm figures: 18 points
Glass of fizz: 5 points
Being free of the gorram alliance: Priceless.

Edit: I forgot to mention - destination is Frans Fjord!

Well done on getting clear of real life issues long enough to get these figures done James.  A fine set of crewmen and women for the sci-fi ship which shall remain nameless.  A glass of bubbly and gorram free makes it all even better.  By my count this is your third trip by Balloon which grants you a 10 point frequent floater bonus, if I'm reading the fine print correctly.  I've adjusted your point score accordingly.
