The Brigadier

Here is another of the metal miniatures from Harlequin Miniatures. This is Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart of UNIT.

Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart was one of the founders of UNIT and commander of its UK operations. From his second incarnation onwards, notwithstanding some early tension between the two at the start of his third incarnation, the Doctor long considered the Brigadier one of his most trusted human allies and closest friends, having encountered him in all of his incarnations, with the exceptions of his ninth and eleventh.

…and a little bit more.

Paint disaster aside, I spent some time painting a little bit more of my Ork Stompa.

Here are the feet.

The main problem with the paint was twofold. The first problem was with my Citadel foundation paints they were quite old and had dried out. Second problem was with my Citadel washes, which had gone weird and no amount of mixing could sort them out.

Davros

The designer and creator of the Daleks was Davros.

This is another of 1990s Harlequin Miniatures’ licensed range of 28mm metal miniatures.

Davros first appeared on our TV screens in Genesis of the Daleks and I remember that dark and quite philosophical episode well.

This is the adventure that goes right back to the roots of the Daleks, from their humble beginnings to the point where they become the Doctor’s most fearsome foes. Across the six episodes, we find that the Doctor has been sent to the planet Skaro, where he discovers the evil genius Davros, who is about to fully unleash his deadliest creations into the universe. Accompanied by Harry and Sarry, The Doctor also finds himself stuck in the middle of an ongoing war between the Thals and The Kaleds, in a story packed with danger and adventure.

Ruined Ground

A week or so ago I mentioned that I bought a couple of wooden buildings from 4Ground. I’ve always liked the look of the 28mm ruins so was pleased to find out today that 4Ground have released some ruined 15mm buildings.

Some are better than others, but they do look good, they do need some rubble though to add realism.

Robot Mummy

The Pyramids of Mars was broadcast in 1975 and is one of my favourite Doctor Who episodes of all time. The robot mummy is probably one of the reasons for that, it was an ideal Who villain.

Back in the 1990s Harlequin Miniatures produced a licensed range of 28mm metal miniatures and I bought back a few of the blisters, including the robot mummy.

Now I just need a pyramid!

Housing Crisis…

I mentioned a few days ago that Battlefront were releasing another house in their series, the Dunkirk House, which on their website looks like this.

Dunkirk House

Mine has arrived and it looks nothing like that!
It looks exactly like the (proposed) Antwerp House!

So what’s going on then?

I can understand that when they first thought of releasing the houses they made mock-ups on the boxes and houses and when production started they may have to change them from what they planned. However now they are in production and been sold, why aren’t they showing the actual model they are selling over the proposed one.

No idea.

Still it’s a nice house.
