If you look closely at the majority of their minis you'll see their modifications of an original.....they did this up to four or five times per sculpt sometimes too! It was a great business decision really, to produce more minis at a faster rate.<br /><br />Glad you liked this next batch I've Mr Papafakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449586265828153638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90423495413148122.post-90350398522570729142015-01-04T09:56:37.813-08:002015-01-04T09:56:37.813-08:00Lovely stuff!

I'd never have guessed that the two fellows you tagged as the same miniature started out so. Your fellow with the beret looks great and your conversion of the guy in the plate armor is fairly successful. I have a few copies of that miniature and I've never quite decided what to do with the extras, since he's so recognizable. Well done.The Composerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009448596738385017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90423495413148122.post-15761050404166205742015-01-04T05:50:03.365-08:002015-01-04T05:50:03.365-08:00Cheers Suber,

I always assumed that they'd have basic equipment with little to nothing else of interest sculpted onto them. But they are all just as unique & cool as all the other minis from that era.Mr Papafakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449586265828153638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90423495413148122.post-10887685363693298682015-01-04T05:39:37.529-08:002015-01-04T05:39:37.529-08:00Cheers Archae,

Its the combination of the weathered, rusty weapons, equipment, and bases with the almost comic style elements. Dark and nasty yet satirical and tongue in cheek, conscious of the absurdity of the over the top universe it allows us to imagine. Nice work.Archaeopteryxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334941745308292048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90423495413148122.post-24688997075683619962015-01-03T19:19:42.198-08:002015-01-03T19:19:42.198-08:00Thanks Lee,

The only difference from my fantasy bases to these futuristic one's is the addition of battlefield debris i.e. plastic offcuts or other bits from the scrap heap.<br /><br />The plasma cannon guy was fun to paint.
