Little green men. \u00a0The staple of 50’s Sci-Fi. \u00a0I was browsing Khurasan’s 15mm Sci-Fi pages<\/a> when I happened across them, and I knew right away they’d be fun to paint. \u00a0I think that’s an important quality in miniatures – fun to paint. \u00a0The order I placed at Khurasan that day was all “fun to paint” minis. \u00a0Nothing for my armies, nothing I even had an intended use for, but just stuff that would be fun. \u00a0Fleeing scientists, women with big (ahem) guns, aliens, predators, hill people. \u00a0Fun stuff.<\/p>\n

Cleaned up and ready for primer. \u00a0They were pretty clean already, it only took a few minutes to clean the minor flash and mold lines. \u00a0Khurasan is pretty good about that stuff.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"15mm<\/a><\/p>\n

Painted and based. \u00a0If you look close, you can see their tiny little faces are actually way down at the bottom of their giant heads.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"15mm<\/a><\/p>\n

I decided to go with a “Martian soil” look for the base.<\/p>\n

Is it weird that I think their little alien butts are kinda cute?<\/p>\n

Yeah, that’s weird. \u00a0Forget I said anything.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, I’m painting then, and I’m thinking “why am I so sloppy with these details?” Then I realize, these guys are tiny.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"15mm<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a size comparison with a GZG power armor and a Rebel Mini’s Earth Force Marine.<\/p>\n

I had fun painting these guys. \u00a0I know they are mean little bastards that would shoot me on sight, but they are just so darned cute<\/em>, with their little blue suits and white shoes. \u00a0Like little kids paying sailor.<\/p>\n
