These 3 figures are from Warlord Games. They are 40mm high.
The Slitheen are a family of criminal Raxacoricofallapatorians. They are large, powerful aliens who first appeared in the 2005 episode "Aliens of London". Using stolen technology they were able to create compression fields and disguise themselves using the skins of their victims. As part of their plan to take over Earth for use in their family business ventures, they impersonated the Prime Minister, other politicians and figures of authority.
Scary though it can be, Doctor Who is of course pure fiction. Can you imagine what would happen of aliens were really able to impersonate political leaders and create chaos, division and uncertainty among the population and businesses?
It is a matter of personal regret that I was again unable to deliver on my deal and fell short of my points target by a significant margin.
The clock is ticking and the deadline is almost here. So it is just about time for all participants to set down their BRushes and EXIT from this edition of the Painting Challenge. That is unless President Curt and the Painting Challenge Commission will allow a short extension?

Sorry mate, you and your Slitheen overlords will have to revoke article 50 to rejoin the Challenge Union. (The whole Farage/Johnson/May thing makes SO much sense now...) ;)
Great work Jonathan, but these guys seriously creep me out with their non-eyes and icky tri-fingers. I'm just going to give you the 21 points and wish you a fond farewell - until the next time they let us out of the asylum.

Dr. Who is scary, yes, but to whom? Us, or the aliens tuning in? It has a very clear message that humans are NOT TO BE MESSED WITH. It probably sends would-be alien invaders running away screaming into the night.
ReplyDeleteAliens in London/World War Three are some of my favorite of the rebooted Dr. Who, and I really like Harriet Jones in it. You've captured the Slitheen perfectly. Though they're now in Midsomer, which might explain the Cabot Cove-like murder rate there.
Beautiful work!
Nice!
ReplyDeleteSuch chubby cheeks! I, for one, welcome our new overlords.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work Jonathan! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat looking aliens! They're among us!

One of my favourite Dr Who episodes. Your interpretation makes so much sense (there is likely a Slitheen in the White House too). Britain could use a Hariret Jones right about now.
