Still prepping to run a game of "Five Parsecs From Home", a game that calls out for a bunch of random figures more than a coherent squad of uniformed types. The failed experiment in tweaking 15mm figures left me with a couple of heavy armored alien types. To split the difference between affiliated figures and one-offs, I painted up three brothers with very different color schemes, then tied them together with green stripes. While they make for a nice little mini-squad, they can also be slotted into a trading vessel's crew as the muscle of the group.
Meanwhile, I've been slowly building up more interior terrain as well. This control panel is a bit of a test piece. The colors and paint look great...
...but I'm not exactly thrilled with the height of the unit. Needs more elevation to really look the part of some decent cover. The figures are supposed to be big, but a knee-high control panel doesn't cut the mustard. Have to decide between adding a piece of square dowel to double the height, or finding a different material to use for the base.
Looks good. Perhaps clip a bot of a coffee stirrer for the base of the comp unit?
