Retro Sci-Fi League

 I’ve painted up a Pulp Sci-Fi league using the 2010 Salute giveaway figures.

 
The Robot on the right I painted a while ago but have rebased it on half of the scenic base that came with the set, I only added a bit to the front so that it took up the whole base.

The other Robot on the left has had its stance changed as best I could to make it more upright. 

I achieved this by cutting it in the middle, removing a sliver & bending it back. 

I also removed the right arm & re-positioned it. 

The base insert is a scratch built piece as well, made from press-moulded Miliput, plastic rod & card.

Finally the Leader, she is also on part of the original scenic base,

 with bits of plastic rod added to fill it out to the sides.

I will probably end up using these as a Leader & two side kicks.

  1. Those guys are great! Have you seen the Retro Raygun line from Hydra Miniatures? Their Robot Legion is very cool...

    1. Thanks Mike. Yes I’ve seen the Hydra stuff, they are fantastic. A bit of a pain to get hold of in the UK though, there’s a supplier in Sheffield who stocks them but they seem to go out of stock fairly quickly. Killer B games also does some nice stuff as well.
