Mars Attacks - Buddy & Brandi - WIP #1

So no post last week, primarily due to family commitments and once again not having much to show.

Back on the Mars Attacks drive again this week, with work started on some of the Heroes from Mars Attacks (as well as starting the next five Martians). I started out with my two favourite models from the boxed game, Buddy and Brandi.





Close up shots really don't do these models justice (nor does my photography skills), they are first and foremost gaming pieces, and as such lack the detail of their GW counterparts. Brandy especially is a little flat around the facial area (although her face does still retain a good level of character).

Yet for what they are the detail is really nice and they do paint up really nicely, and make for a nice break from the Martian grunts.

I'm sticking fairly closely to the Mantic schemes adding in a few subtle variations here and there as not having to come up with alternative schemes means these are a lot quicker for me to paint (and painting these guys is all about getting them churned out relatively quickly.
