Been slow going This week but nothing unusual there
Infinity PanO fussiliers painting progress
Infinity Nomad Alguaciles painting progress
Washed and ready for more work
Comm Centre update
door cut and base coated
The gap in the door frame lets it click in so I can have it open or closed
Started painting the lockers
Glass wall and door
Mars attacks kickstarter drop
The box
Soo much stuff
Not happy with the deluxe mat
The details are very fuzzy compared to the paper mats or the deadzone mat, is this just mine or are yours like this too?
But at first glance I'm happy with the rest of the haul, bent bits n all.
Martian reinforcements - somehow I've managed to get two more bugs and an extra regent.
Human reinforcements - so many bent gun barrels, and both of the natalyas were bent down to being flush with her base.
Lots of scenery - I'm going to get most of the ruins stuck together and fill in the plug holes.
And cars, lots and lots of cars
I love these and can't wait to get them painted
This week I want to get the infinity grunts done, get some Mars attacks painted, cut the desk and add the window frames in the and finish painting my TARDIS.
Thanks for looking have a good week

Starting to plan my Mars attacks painting, I think I'm going to paint up one of the trucks as joes mechanic's truck now I just need to find a towing winch to add on the back
Does anyone reading this know what camo/colour scheme US national guard vehicles and marines should be using for action in the US?

Excellent glass wall and door. May have missed it as I don't get to read much anymore, but where are those lockers from? They look good, and I could make use of them  .
Almost sorry I missed out on Mars attack. Those cars look terrific, and the rest are getting nothing but good reviews(aside from the bent stuff).

The lockers are from Ainsty castings http://www.ainsty-castings.co.uk, there are a few air bubbles in the casts but no deal breakers.
The website is a pain to navigate so here's the link to the storage lockers

Only a tiny update this week
Thought there wasn't going to be any hobby time between work, Farcry 4 and I went to the Wales v New Zealand match, shame about the result but the best seats I've ever had...
But I did manage to sneak some hobby time in mostly trying getting the Girlfriend into Mars Attacks but some modelling and painting too.
Scaffold update
Deadzone ladders added, sadly their not 3" tall so I'll have to fill the gap in the middle, so it doesn't look like its floating.
I might also add some more poles to beef it up a bit and there's still the spilt bucket of paint I want to add.
Wayland Yutani Battlezone tile
I might redo the middle of "Yutani" and "better", it's difficult getting the proportions right because of the gap in the tiles.
Cars
Only base coated couldn't wait to get them painted.
TARDIS
Now I just need a mini Dr who and some Mars attacks stats.

Very cool! Especially liking the TARDIS and the WY building!
The rugby result was a bit of a surprise, I thought; Wales pulled out a lead, I think it was something like 16-11 when I went to get a cup of tea in second half, and by the time I got back to the TV, NZ were well out in front. Looks like you had a great seat, though!

Yea there was a chance of winning but alas another year to the losing streak to NZ.
It's not all bad as there were some good performances, figures crossed for the South Africa game on Saturday they need to beat at least one Southern Hemisphere team this year.

Nice touch with the split paint there! Looking forward to those various projects. Possibly a dumb question, but is that scaffolding just sprue or rod? Because if it is that simple, I might have to try it myself!
I can completely sympathise with having too many things to get done hobby-wise! Just this year I've worked on Space Marines, Eldar, 3 Deadzone factions and 5 different LotR armies! Maybe, unlike me, you'll manage to focus on one thing without getting distra-
Oh, shiny!

The scaffold bars are just plasticard rods Superguled together.
I used a lot of superglue so there was a mound on the joint areas, its pretty dolid with the support bars and the stirrers glued on but when i originsly just had the frame it felt very flimsey.

Might have to try that then. It could be a good way to add some height to a Deadzone board but keep visibility.

It's worked quite well for me in deadzone and infinity. For me it's mainly used to give access to the top of 2 storey buildings without having to add a ladder that looks a bit out of place/just there for gameplay.
Mars Attacks
Apologies for the poor pictures finally got some decent light to take pics but by the time I was able to take them the sun had hid behind a cloud.
Marines WIP
The front row are were finished but I'm not a 100% on the uniforms. I want them to look like the marines in battle: LA. So less brown more grey.
Martians WIP
The Front rank are the most further along still need to add some highlights after a dark wash and add the metallics to the hoses, weapon etc.
Eva finished
IMHO she looks good in real life, in this picture not so much.
I don't know if it was me being too heavy on the primer but when I came to painting her hands and gun there wasn't much detail there. So I drew in e fingers with a micro pen.
Cars finished ... For now
Really happy with these so you'll have to put up with more pics of them.
I don't know if I should add car numbers on the roofs of the police cars, licence plates and to truly send me crazy try painting the taxi sign.
Thanks for looking
CnC always welcome

Martians painted, still need to do the bases at some point but I can't make my mind up on how to do them yet.
I think I might buy some of the Pegasus loose bricks and use them on some of the bases but I kind of like the cartoon paving stone base I did with the Martian Srg so.....I don't know.
Thanks for looking

Thanks guys
I went with the cartoon paving for the bases on these guys I'll get the other 10 based differently so there's a nice mix.
MA Marines
Still can't find a great reference pic for the marines uniform in battle:LA. They won't look much different to how they are now to be honest but I'll have the satisfaction of knowing.
crashed SUV
I'll give the bottom a spray of model mates mud brown when my order comes through
MA terrain
This is some of the terrain that is going to live in the Game box so I haven't spent ages on it. For the rest of the Mars attacks terrain I've got I'll glue them together and fill in the gaps/joins.
And since that Tardis purchase I just couldn't resist
Without a base they actually look the right height too
Thanks for looking
Apologies for the photo quality and C & C welcome as always

The Martian bases look awesome, as does the flipped car.
Given the height of those new Daleks, I think you could get away with basing them if you want to. I wish someone did Ecclestone/Tennant-era Daleks in scale at a decent price, I just can't stand the new ones. Well, I say new, they pretty much got phased out after a series or two! How's that for a retcon?
Should look decent painted up, in any case. Any plans for the Heresy Minis Not-Doctor minis? Would round out the set rather nicely!

Yea the I-Daleks were a bit poo weren't they. But I'm not a fan of most of moffats run in charge of the who verse, it's a shame really that the quality of the scripts isn't there for Jenna Coleman and Malcom Tucker (he'll never be Peter cappaldi again) cause they are awesome.
Which is why I'm going to go for this Not Doctor from Crooked dice
I am tempted by Heresys Not Tennant tho.

Test piece for My next piece of scenery once I finish the comm centre scenery.
Just paper and card to check the measurements.
The Big important Bank
It's going to be a ruin so it should be quite a quick build, the time consuming bit will be embossing brick patterns to the walls.
Just over 6"x6" square and 7" and a quarter high, maybe 2 floors with the second being more of an inner balcony.
There will be stairs leading up to the doors which I hope I'll be able to get hinged.
I might magnetise the sign so I can change it to an administratum/post office if the desire took me.
I'm really tempted to add a clock tower on the roof above the door with an actual clock. But this might be too adventurous.
Just need to finish the comm centre now but adding the window frames is scaring me
