Your talk of buildings reminds me that I should have ordered some stuff from you last year.

Did you get the resin SUV or either of the technicals Spectre offered?<br /><br />I also like the look of the buildings.

I love the very civilian colours you've given them and your buildings look great as backdrop.<br /><br />I have a bunch of Spectre stuff in the staging area and I have to agree with you about the design of these models. Anatomically and in pose they are excellent, the quality is superb, but their weapons are waay too small/slim for the scale. I know it's been mentioned in several blogs how the Spectre weapons are realistically scaled, but they simply look too small. This is where sculptors like the Perry twins, Eureka's Heristanidis and Hicks come to the fore with their more nuanced approach to sculpting. If you look closely at their work, the weapons are often over-scaled (as are some of the figures physical features), but it all somehow works as a whole.<br /><br />Nonetheless, these are still excellent models and I think you've done an excellent job on them. Looking forward to seeing your 'Operators'!Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-61426714241764441302016-01-13T16:47:57.434-06:002016-01-13T16:47:57.434-06:00Nice bunch of militia ByronNice bunch of militia ByronPeter Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118894381672707297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-78670319803269083592016-01-13T16:40:28.380-06:002016-01-13T16:40:28.380-06:00Very nice work Byron :)Very nice work Byron :)TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-48882353594625540712016-01-13T16:33:22.651-06:002016-01-13T16:33:22.651-06:00Very nice, love the colours.
