28mm Painted AVP Predators, Colonial Marines and Aliens........

......from Prodos Games.

Received the AVP (Aliens vs Predator) boxset from a friend, he had received 3 from the kickstarter but while talking to him over the proceeding months he never seemed to have the painting time, so for his birthday I painted him the figures so he could game with a painted set!

Figures are resin, very light (I weighted the bases), good detail especially the predators, hard to clean and one ridiculous pose of a marine with his foot in the air (I molded some green stuff to at least make him stable!).

Poor pictures but the situation for the moment is causing some disruption!

The most prolific defensive terrain in history?

As part of the 6th Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge, one of the challenges was to paint your interpretation of defensive terrain....... 

..................so I came up with these out of the unpainted resin box!



Nothing to see here......


Just the pretty flowers.....


Wait a minute, what's that?..........


One of the more controversial weapons of all time.......


The name originates from the practice of military mining........


Seemingly the first mines were developed/used around 1277 by the Chinese.......


Placing minefields without marking and recording them for later removal is now considered a war crime........


The laying of land mines has inadvertently led to a positive development in the Falkland Islands. Mine fields laid near the sea during the Falklands War have become favorite places for penguins, which do not weigh enough to detonate the mines. Therefore, they can breed safely, free of human intrusion. These odd sanctuaries have proven so popular and lucrative for ecotourism that efforts exist to prevent removal of the mines..........
