Just finished this set from Bombshell Miniatures.
From the animated movie Heavy Metal

Well Done! (Can't wait to see the custom base when you design/build it up )

Very cool!

They came out great! I'll be looking out for the custom base.

I decided I am not going to go for anything custom.
Think it's just going to end up being an oval base. But that will still look a lot better than this wooden one.
(as long as they fit well on a 170mm base)

Took me a minute to remember them, but yeah excellent job!

[tay666]

Yeah, that is why on my page for the kit, I included some pics from the actual movie to refresh people's memories.

Should have the crew on their new base by the end of the weekend. It finally came in, and I got it painted. Now I just have to nail down placement and pin and glue.

Love what you’ve done with this Trev. Very nice job. It’s as if you took the original flat 2 dimensional characters and transported them into a 3 dimensional reality where they were then frozen in a stasis field. The washes and shading make them look very realistic.

Honestly, the biggest key I believe was using the marker to black-line everything.
Once I outlined all the different areas it looked like a completely different kit.
It gave everything definition and separated all the colors in a nice crisp deliniation.

Now that you explained it, I zoomed in on the photos, and it just popped out at me!

Ingenious and well done!

Finally got pics of the crew on their new permanent base.

Excellent Trevor! Simple, clean, and I presume, resembles the deck of the spaceship!

I was holding out for the custom base, but they look terrific as is!

Yeah. Originally I was thinking of something that was shaped and engraved to look like the ship for them to stand on.
But then I decided that would be more trouble than it was worth. So I got a 170mm oval base from Etsy and just worked with that.

And here they are, on the shelf in my room along with some of the other HM kits I have done so far.
