Rom JeremyM: Aliens for Pit of the Pendulum

 Hi all,

So one of my goals during this year's challenge was to start painting my collection of aliens minis, so expect to see a few crop up as I shoehorn them into the various theme rooms of the chambers. When thinking of the impending doom of a slowly descending pendulum-blade, I decided to go try something with facehuggers. 

Here are a 4 different astronaut 28mm 3d prints, as well as 2 scared civilians. All but 4 also have a 3d printed 28mm scale facehugger added. It was another attempt to kitbash some 3d prints from thingiverse. I still have a lot to learn on this front, as I've only just started 3D editing, but I'm still pretty happy with them. And since getting a 3D printer at the start of the pandemic I've been printing like a madman only to realize you still need to paint what you print. Thank God for things like the painting challenge to motivate us!

Here is a dead astronaut alongside a second copy of the same 3d print this time with a desiccated facehugger lying beside him...hmmm wonder what will happen there? 

Here are two more astronauts this time running scarred. I posed the copy of the 'scarred astronaut' lying down with a facehugger looming over him. While these spacesuits aren't exactly like the ones in the Alien film I still like them, and tried to paint them using a few different colours, somewhat similar to how the suits in the film had different colours. That being said the white and yellow suits were my favourite by far, but variety is the spice of life.

And finally here are two scarred civilians that I added facehuggers to. The green shirted fellow is actually trying to push the facehugger back with his hand its just rather hard to see with the horrible spidery thing attacking him. The Woman lying down is clutching her stomach in fear as another crawls toward her. I made a couple other copies of these two for use in other scenes later in the challenge.

So that is it from me for this room...rrr wait now that I look at them guess I'll have to go paint the lip of each base black, guess they aren't 100% more like 99.5. So I have 6 28mm figures and the points for the room for 50 points. Now where to next?
