Gell Guards and Centauri

 

More attempts at sculpting. This lot are Gel Guards or Gell Guards from the Dr Who universe. Easy to make but doing all those balls of protoplasm took an age... The U.N.I.T. soldier is Crooked Dice 28mm.

And this one is Alpha Centauri from the episode The Curse of Peladon.

5th January the tree comes down and I can start painting some of them...

Burma Star etc - need help!

 My Father in Law served in Burma during the war. He always said he had sent his medals back - he really wasn't happy about Burma. Turns out he had actually given them to his sister and they eventually made their way to Sandra via her  brother Peter.Anyway, couple of the ribbons had detached so I did a search to see which medal went with which ribbon. Looks like a bit of mix and match on the internet - nothing seems to fit. So...

So, in order left to right, 'The Star', ?, 'The Burma Star.' Incidentally, that middle one - can't find this combination of medal and ribbon either! So is it right?

So calling the left one Blue and Red, right one Orange and Green.

So, question is: Can anyone tell me which medals go with which ribbons? Any help appreciated!

Happy New Year everyone

Still a couple of hours to go but...

Getting ready for the night's game.  It's called Crackerdash Lite.   Steven came second.

Sandra won so I got upset.
But then I realised the game was all wrong. The object is to lose all your crackers.... I finished up with loads so... I get more cheese :)

Building up January's painting pile

 

Firstly, I now have a 10 Munchkin section of the Mulitia including officer and standard bearer. Haven't the faintest idea what colour scheme their 'uniform' should be. I'll probably start trying to do some villagers next.

Three mock turtles - still very much experimenting with these.

Terror bird and a couple of dodos. Birds seem to be quite easy and there's plenty of mileage left in this area.

I like this one - only one that is Lovecraftian, certainly not the last. Googled 'Lovecraft monsters' and this one came up. Looks pretty good to me!

These have all now been undercoated so I can start work painting them when the tree comes down.
