From ChrisW: Another fine mix I've gotten in to (330 points)

 

VSF armoured vehicles [3x28mm vehicles 60 points]

These are 3d printed Quar tanks now in the service of the Japanese army on Mars. They have been painted to match up with some previously painted Japanese armoured vehicles. The two big ones will be troop transports while the smaller one will be used for close support. 

They were primed black and based with Vallejo German red primer. This was dry brushed with craft paint cinnamon and paprika. The treads were painted with a grey craft paint then GW Contrast Gore- Grunta fur. That was then dry brushed over with P3 metal paint and a craft paint autumn colour. There was also at least one dark wash added  between base and dry brush.

Future passenger, for scale 

Two more tripods    [40 points]

For size comparison & for squirrels

So, the smaller blue one is a grenadier while the other one is an assault tripod, this one referred to as the Red Tripod. The Red tripod has a glitter/laser device on his head and a side carapace mounted speaker. Both are special add ons for this special tripod. I used a dollar store rhinestone 'gem' while the horn/speaker was made from something I had just lying around. (boy I sure hope I don't find out that I needed it for something else) 

The write up on the red tripod suggests that it might be a bit insane, so I added some human skeletons as trophies and used 'blood' to decorate it. On the base you can see some red weed beginning to grow and a splatter of blood.

It's, a bug hunt!        [11x 28mm bugs 55 points]

These are from Pulp Figures although I could not find a current listing. The big one is a resin cast with metal  'arms', while the brood are one piece metal. It took a while for me to figure out what colours to use and I made a few attempts before settling in on what I used. I figure the big one is the colour that the little ones will eventually change into. Most likely I will use these in some Pulp Alley games, but for now they will be added to my ever growing alien creature collection.

Evil deep sea diver minions  [12x 28mm deep sea diver minions 60 points]

These minis are from Recreational Conflict and have only been in my possession for a couple of years. 

They were primed with a khaki primer, washed with a brown/black wash the some P3 jack bone highlights over a khaki base. 

The sea shells were bought years ago just because I thought they might come in handy some day, they did. 

Devilry afoot Puritans                  [6x 28mm Puritans 30 points]

Explorers of Egypt            [6x 28mm  30 points] 

Some Blue moon, Brigade and Pulp Figures miniatures. Being in Egypt I went with a typical mix of Khaki colours for most of them. The lady in the blue skirt does stand out a bit with her shadowed lines courtesy of contrast painted jacket and touched up contrast blue skirt.

Jungle explorers                        [6x 28mm 30 points]

A mix of figures, Pulp Figures. Copplestone, Crooked Dice and maybe a Brigade miniatures. I apologize for the rather gauche neon yellow/green figure, just looking for different colours to use for my pulp adventurers.

I painted this figure with only contrast paints, except for the teeth. While I often use the various contrast/speed/express paints to put down a base coat then follow up with more traditional paints, this time around I wanted to see if I could tolerate the results without the additional touch up. Well, he is serviceable (and looks better in person) but I am not really sold on the end result. I will check in on him from time to time, but I suspect I will be doing some highlights.

Back of Beyond Chinese Mortar        [25 points]

Some more Copplestone miniatures BoB. These have been mostly completed for a few weeks, just the basing and a few touch ups being required. I kind of rushed the basing and picture taking such that you can still ee the undried white glue, whoops.

Sylvain: As I was going through your post, I just saw more and more pictures of miniatures... like there was no ending to it! You are a master not only in quantity but also in quality. I would love to be your neighbor and play a different game every week with a whole new set of minis! I'm sure I will be impressed again next week. Génial!
