As my birthday is imminent, I may treat myself! Those "spawn" could also be used as Gel Guards, if painted in orange tones.

I'm hoping to have the Doctor and Sarah Jane finished in a couple of weeks time, as its plant-zombies until then.

He is rather punchy in it too, and runs around carrying a pistol too.

In many ways I was tempted just to base the Krynoids after the first dry-brush, for as you say the detail upon them is so good that they'd be table ready just with minimum effort. I think the 'Jon Pertwee' model is the best Doctor Who sculpt I've seen, so he was an easy choice in many ways. Obviously I own the old "Black Tree Design" Fourth Doctor but I really wanted to clear some of my "Crooked Dice" lead mountain - especially as I've just ordered from them again ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-24781289332429648422015-10-02T15:03:52.165-07:002015-10-02T15:03:52.165-07:00The Krynoid looks so good!

Their figures are superbly sculpted and I've always found them a real pleasure to paint. That first photo of the Krynoids certainly shows how good they look with just the minimum of painting done to them. Once you start adding extra detail work I've no doubt that they'll look amazing.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-16852128119799828782015-10-02T14:04:09.649-07:002015-10-02T14:04:09.649-07:00Thanks Gordon.
