Space Troopers

 Recently I painted four more space troopers to add to my existing unit, making them a dozen.

                                                Below are the ones I had already painted.

They are versatile figures and really, not that far removed from contemporary soldiers. The weapons have a Warhammer 40K look about them. Scale wise they are midgets contrasted to 54mm figures and giants next to Warhammer ones. I would prefer that they were true 1/32. Maybe I should call them Space Hobbits.

  I wanted them to look a bit less like contemporary soldiers and so painted them in mainly a grey camo. I could choose any camp scheme, including with bright colors suited to alien planets or I could paint them in ceremonial' uniforms of bright reds. blues, greens and even metallic. (It is worth noting that some contemporary Chinese troops have blue camo).

  Previously I also gave some of these fellows dinosaur heads.
