Here are five 28mm figures from Hydra Miniature's Retro Raygun range
I've had them for quite a while in a half-painted state, but scrubbed them and started afresh for the challenge.
In retrospect I wish I'd left the out-sized rocket packs off, which would have given them a cleaner colour-scheme, but then they wouldn't have been rocketeer would they?
Very, very cool Edwin. I love these guys! Their metallic gold spacesuits are very posh (in a 1962 kinda way) and I really like your backdrop as well. You just need a bright silver bullet-shaped space ship off in the distance to complete the scene.
Nicely done Edwin. I like the rocket packs on the back and they wouldn't have looked right without them.
ReplyDeleteCurt, 1962 was a groovy kinda year :)
It was indeed Anne (though it still predates me by a bit).
DeleteI to like the rocket packs i think they are needed nice job
ReplyDeleteCurt always says my thoughts..... very cool and groovy. The gold is so retro chic
ReplyDeleteSmashing figures Edwin :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a joy!
ReplyDeleteNow all we need is a bit of Bowie in the background... Ground Control to...lovely stuff
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone!
ReplyDeleteI too was quite pleased with the gold - then I went and covered it up with the clunking rocket-packs. But I'll accept the judgement that they're there for a purpose ;)
1962 is just before my time,and I've never been an arbiter of 'groovy'.
'Arbiter of Groovy' - I love it. I think I'll have to adopt that as a tag line.
DeleteI also like the gold suits, really enjoying the mix of this years challenge

Great stuff Edwin. Nothing says retro like skin-tight gold space suits!
ReplyDeleteAnd those white go-go moon boots are to die for...
DeleteCool! And very unusual!!
