At last it's here.....

So rather large package arrived this morning (stop what ever you're thinking!)...inside.....Wow!!!!


Gosh, out of the box and onto the table....



The lid is off......


A cheeky shot of the contents.....


Now the big fella, from top down and the rear.....(is that a long low whistle I hear?)

 Steady boys....


That's all for now folks.

I think you get the message; I'm quite excited about this game. I love X-wing and Star Trek 'Attack Wing'. But this is the one I've been anticipating since it was a announced.

Come on, who does not want to be Admiral Akbar saying 'It's a TRAP!!!'. Or is that just me, wanting to be a 6ft tall, walking, talking fish!

Now must return to normal life, have some important things to do. Not least a bathroom to fit. Damn you reality!

I leave you with this...


 That's it for now more to follow....

Zombie Kill Team Alpha

Hazmat Team, to take on the encroaching Zombie Hordes. But are they there to destroy the undead or kill the living?!


Another project! Well yes and no. Had these figures for about three years, and decided a few months back to get my Zombie Project off the ground. The plan was paint one of these a week, so about four months later finally finished them today.

Figures are Hasslefree and base toppers from Fenris.





Despite their militaristic type appearance, I decided on good 'ole Hazmat yellow (or ochre in this case) for the suit. Plus I'm painting enough camo on 20mm figures. The visor had to be green. This was a nod to Gerry Anderson's UFO series. Those of a certain age will recall that the aliens had green visors on their space helmets (the helmet contained green fluid?). This hid the face, which I always found slightly sinister at the time (though I would have been six or seven when I first watched it!).

The plan is to add more Survivors at a steady pace and of course Zombies. The 20mm Modern will still take precedence at the moment.

That's it for now more to follow......
