BiiiiiiiiiiiiG BLOG ENTRY or WHY DOES SCI-FI NOT HAVE A HEALTH WARNING?

I am rapidly disappearing under material for 'Duck' or Deep Freight Pest Control.
Nothing has cost much money. Now I just need the time to put it together.

Here is a quick foto survey of what is in the pipeline.

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER.......

The very lovely Airfix US infantry. Only the machine-gunner is a duff pose. Grease-gun -man and Running-with rifel-man and officer are just fantastic poses. My knife and glue-pot itch to get converting these to a team of Verminators.
 A box of army men. Not bad. Bit smaller than standard - see the Timmee copy kneeling shooting at left. Not sure if I will convert these, at least, not first in the queue.
 Now for more cream.. Mars Vietnam Marines. A bit larger than most army men but superlative poses and sculpting. No flash. Almost a crime to cut and glue them.
NOTE: I mixed the figure in the two Mars boxes for the fotos....oops.
 Mars Us infantry ditto as per Marines. Great potential.
 Some mean plastic dragons from China. Set of 12 different are available. Dollar each ! Just a paint job and we have a new alien pest species.
 Totally bloody useless. I hoped for armour that could be converted. Poor brittle figures. Next kid visiting gets them. Poor sod.
 Traditional Timmee type Army Men. Some other poses available.
 
OK, that was 7 fotos. Reminds me we need a break.

Much better, let's get on with the proceedings....

 Tabbynian Rice Weevils - see blog below
.
 When planetside violence gets underway we will need vehicles. This one is from Russia.

Some detailed kits can be used. These two from Trumpeter and Zvezda have great potential.

Reptilians in suits from Russia - need some work to convert to aliens or to a human armoured group.
 Ceratopian Pirates. Nearly finished.
 Cheapo scorpions from China. mmmmmm 
Polar Guards from Teknolog. Chunky and mean. Great for excursion on a cold planet or a ship with heating set on 'Low' ?
 Best Teknolog aliens - Chunky armour and ace faces. See blog entry below.
 Guardians - sinister guys from Teknolog. These will be the internal investigation police of DF...
 Arachnophobia. New paint job and spines ? eeeekk. Cheapo Chink stuff.
 Blood-sucking lichen. Veeeerry cheap.
 Teknolog Cyborgs - more like DF Verminators in full armour to me !
 My new door and wall system. Doors slide horizontally now and walls are all-round. Still cheap.
