Theres no such thing as to big bugs arctica :lol:

I just finished a bunch of new bases for Secret Weapon Miniatures and they are aproved and ready to be shipped.

This time the theme was close of what I have been developing for Justin but a bit more wild since its 100% gigerish alien bases with no city ruble or stones like previous sets, just total alien bases.
Here's a overall picture

I'm... not seeing why you're surprised here. :P

Anyway, even though I'm quite frankly sick of Giger (it seems you can't swing Jones the cat without hitting something Giger-inspired in sci-fi these days), the bases themselves look awesome, managing an excellent amount of detail while still being seemingly easy to mount models on. Also a titanic amount of greenstuff - I hope you buy it wholesale or something. :lol:

yeah, I think Sarrazon nailed it about Giger - he's omnipresent as the source of scifi inspirations, but these bases seem to be both very usable and look fantastic.
well done, Navarro!

Yes Giger is a cliche these days but I have been a fan of his work when he was not that well known in sci fi world or tabletop games... So yes he was part of my formation as a artist and as such I will always have a soft spot for his stuff. :mrgreen:

And yes these are heavy on greenstuffing lots of it :)

Going back to updates I just painted some APC's for my 15mm universe.

And I also made a small painting tutorial on my blog:

I'm glad that painting 15mm is so fast and enjoyable, everything is simpler in 15mm and for what is essentially gaming pieces I'm happy with the final results.

For me 15mm has to be one of the most positive experiences to hit my modelling table and I'm very excited with the challenge these miniatures gives to any painter or sculptor. Fun times!

A small update:

I managed to figure out the color combo for my 15mm UNSC rangers... I tried contrasting colors and even ventured myself in including battle damage on 15mm... a bit risky for my first painted 15mm but it looks good enough for a tabletop piece.

A big zoooomed image because real size pictures are way to tiny

Now to paint the rest of the platoon and if you are curious about color formulas and how I painted this little fella check the blog for extra infos.
