In my never ending bounding around from period, genre, project, game, etc. I feel more like Dug from 'Up' chasing the proverbial squirrel.
Ahem... so to continue here's the progress of my Bugs! project. Incidentally, I finally finished my Mobile Infantry but haven't made the time to post.

I experimented with black and brown ink washes and found the brown to be more to my liking. Next, I'll do some test shots of a diorama I'm putting together with the Mobile Infantry. Look for some cameo appearances...
Very nice, been looking for bugs myself.
ReplyDeleteLurker,
ReplyDeleteThanks! They're great sculpts, hard plastic but a real pain to put together. Good luck finding 'em. I scored this box of Starship Troopers from this game store here in Houston (Nan's Games & Comics, Too) where they have some pretty old stock laying around. Alas they don't have a website.
