As I say they are a lot smaller than the "Tomb" ones so they'll look a little odd when mixed with them.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-90265182888861029602015-01-21T13:58:04.352-08:002015-01-21T13:58:04.352-08:00:) cock-rocket launcher has just become my favorit...:) cock-rocket launcher has just become my favorite weapon of all time!!

As you can probably tell the sculpting is rather soft all over so detail is hard to dry-brush. Hopefully once the faces and hands are washed and high-lighted they'll look a little better... and the gloss varnish should help make them a bit shinier too.

It did though, as I say, make a nice test piece for this "Vallejo" Gunmetal Grey.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-47836663790991909622015-01-21T06:36:11.318-08:002015-01-21T06:36:11.318-08:00Nicely done despite the sculptng issues.

However, for such a simple figure you have painted him very well.<br />I'm sorry to say but I'm not a fan of the Mark 1 Cybermen.
