"Warlord Games" seem to have so many ideas for "Doctor Who" currently, and these show-based boxed sets certainly sound interesting - should they start to produce them. For now just the "Time Warrior" and "Tomb Of The Cybermen" sets are confirmed. It's good to see you wilting though... ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-80670590070939431572017-08-07T02:52:57.551-07:002017-08-07T02:52:57.551-07:00Cheers Simon.

Of course if the models are straightforward like "Warlord Games" plastic Cybermen, then I can do a few more, but I've found the Sea Devils to be too complicated to do that; albeit I did do all their legs :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-85848059361985574072017-08-06T04:47:33.653-07:002017-08-06T04:47:33.653-07:00Excellent work on the Cybermen and Sea Devils, Sim...Excellent work on the Cybermen and Sea Devils, Simon.

Patient, slow dry-brushing, almost to point of polishing the minis with "Citadel" Ironbreaker, really is my key to bringing out lots of the softer detail on these Cybermen, imho. I'd certainly be pleased if one of these "Nightmares In Silver" made the highly sought accolade of your Top Ten :-)<br /><br />The "G.I. Joe" minis are terrific, and I'm really grateful to have gotten some. The Cobra minions seem to have loads of different colour schemes, but red with masks is indeed one of them. Hopefully I'll be able to take you down that particular memory lane if I can get some ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-8833039778405210712017-08-06T03:22:55.203-07:002017-08-06T03:22:55.203-07:00Lovely work on the Cyberman Simon, a real star (to...Lovely work on the Cyberman Simon, a real star (top ten perhaps), the Sea-devil; too is progressing really nicely.<br /><br />The GI Joe stuff is great, you are a lucky boy to have got your hands on it, I might have been tempted myself (I'm not adverse to a bit if toy nostalgia myself you know).
