Fisherman's Friends?

A couple of watery critters for the anthropomorphic collection

15mm - First Pinewood Creek Denizens

 

I've had this selection painted for a while in preparation of project progress, but now that I've buildings finished I set about changing the base colours and here they are!

15mm Wild West Town - Pinewood Creek

 

This has been hanging around for a while, and as I was delving in ,y 15mm corner for my Aquans it struck me that I should really get my bare Wild West buildings painted to play with.

Blue Moon Aquans

 

With so many ongoing projects I needed one that was just do and finish, so my pack of Blue Moon Manufacturing Aquans finally go some paint. These are probably my favourite sculpts of the Blue Moon 15mm Sci-Fi range and it's good to get them into a playable state.

Space Bears pt.3

 

The final duo in my Blind Beggar Sci-Fi bears set

This duo seems to have an Mentor and Junior feel. The smaller bear especially brings to mind those pictures/cartoons you might see of small American boys in the 1950's in their space outfits. The larger was giving old Obi-wan vibes, so I wanted the cloak to be a bit more subdued.

I've Got Worms!

 

After that brief break it's back to the Critters - this time some Worms.

15mm Sci-fi Light Infantry completed

 

A completed force - always an occasion to celebrate!

Airfix Curtiss Tomahawk 11B

 

I was starting to feel like I needed a wee break from the Critter treadmill (as much fun as it is) so a quick scramble into the loft and I pulled out this classic starter a change of scene - the Curtiss P40C Tomahawk

Courageous Chickens

 

New to the Critter Squad are the Chickens from Interloper Miniatures 

Isengard Reinforcements

This is more a catch up post now I've some photography space set - these were actually painted at the start of the year. 

After the fiddly elves I thought I'd go for something a bit swift and easy, so quick painted a group of Mordor Orcs and Trolls for my (slow grow) Isangard army.

Aping About - pt.2

 

The remaining two apes from Blind Beggar

Aping About - pt.1

Nearly titled "Monkeying About" until I realised that none of the figures were monkeys!!

A trio of apes from Blind Beggar - many thanks to Head beggar Paul for dusting off his old storage boxes to try and find any left over stock. He emerged, cobwebs covered, with 5 apes in the end, all from his Dirty Nasty Apes Kickstarter (and a couple of fish like aliens).

I really enjoyed these figures. The chimp just seemed to look like a space chimp to me, hence the all white suit. These figures not only fit into the Critters collection but will also fit for a Judge Dredd Ape Gang.

Commando Raccoons

Up now are the Critter Commando Raccoons. I'd been putting off these for a while as they are both distinctive animals and also a bit unfamiliar to denizens of Scotland such as myself. Thank goodness for the internet image library!! Presumably highlighting their affection to rake through bins, the grenadier seems to have a tin can. I decided to "give Peas a chance"!!

The eye are wee bit tricky, but the crucial "robbers mask" markings have come quite well and I'm happy.

Space Bears pt.2

 

Another 2 bears from Blind Beggar.

Little and Large

 

An odd duo for this one - a mouse and a dog. 

From a Blind Beggar Kickstarter a few years ago.  I wasn't too keen on the mouse in the raw metal, but with some paint on I really like it. Armed with a machine pistol (probably a "Mouser").

The panel on the chest of the dog reminded me too much of Darth Vader not to give him a predominantly black outfit, with his large power fist. God Vader maybe.

Turtle Squad

 

Back to Critter Commandos -  this time the Turtle squad

After going big and bold on the squad uniforms the Turtles are a bit different as they are mostly "au natural". Obviously they feel their shells offer enough protection. So out goes the solid colour thoughts for these figures. Apart from the Power armour, which gives a nice tie in with the standard blocking out Critter style whilst still mirroring the turtle colours.

Space Bears pt.1

Away from the Critter Commandos line now, the first couple of Bears from Blind Beggar.

Shark Attack!

 

Third set of Critters - The Sharks

F.R.O.G. Commandos

The second faction of my Critters is up - The F.R.O.G Commando set

The Ratzi Menace

 

Continuing on from my "Animal Testing" post a wee while ago I've completed the first faction box - The Ratzis. 

Little High Elves

Following on from filling the lack of 15mm Goblin miniatures space in my collection I went to do the same for my High Elves
