First photos of the 15mm BUG HUNT corridor

Here are some previews of the 15mm scale corridor system I'm developing at work. I didn't set aside enough time to properly get a full set painted up, so it's only going to be a choice selection of parts for the painted preview images. The corridor set will be released later this week, at least the basic set, next week I can do the individual parts. Be sure to check out Jim's Lab for this release.

On the miniatures side of this project, I am really unhappy with the way I painted these figures. I didn't plan out well enough, and don't have enough practice with 15mm figures. The painting looks sloppy, it looks aright in person at arms length, so I may just have to leave them as is. I don't see it worth my while stripping and repainting them at this point, I may just sell them off for the same price as replacing them, if I can.

I have some much better ideas for color schemes now, and may even replicate my Hybrid color schemes. Tomorrow I'll be finishing up the corridor tiles, and a handful of figures for the final promotional photos.

Painting 15mm Bug Hunt figures

I really need to work on my painting skills. These are turning out worse than I had hoped, but I have to have them done in the next couple days. Oh, well, live and learn. I have a bunch of fantasy 15mm figures to paint as well, and will use what I have learned on those. In short, the color/wash/drybrush/highlight method I used to use on 28mm figures just doesn't work as well at this scale. I'm thinking I need to go with a more direct color application, like the three stage foundry method, I'm not sure.

I should note that these are in progress. The human guys have a way to go, and I'm sure the space demons will look better once the bases are finished. The bases are going to be flocked with sand, then colored grey like ash, and some yellow rusty spots. They look better in the smaller pic than the larger one.

This is my current project to finish, and I should be done in two days. Then onto getting my Troll sculpting up to date on the sculpt-along...

15mm scale Space Demons from:Khurasan Miniatures

Just getting started with this 15mm scale project. This is part of a BUG HUNT layout I'm doing for work, and will be using them in various photos, as well as gaming with them, and maybe even using them as a travel edition of 'hulk.
