Over on the Ebbles forum Mel (Ebbles) is doing a closet cleaning sale and has a bunch of different minis that he is getting rid of and I sent him a message requesting one of the packs of Copplestone Bio-Chem suit guys and one pack of the Zombie troopers (he said make an offer and if he likes it he will accept it, I said $15 per set and he accepted, will be getting the money to him this Friday when I get paid). Now all I have to do is place an order for the Hasslefree and Recreational Conflict Hazmat figures.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489223839111201068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-75989203009109787742011-04-16T11:50:12.711+01:002011-04-16T11:50:12.711+01:00Willy, white is a difficult colour for many people...Willy, white is a difficult colour for many people to get right!

They are the best sculpted in my opinion. If you wait a couple weeks, you'll be able to compare all of my reviews, plus I plan on doing a size comparison photo of them, which should help even further in deciding which one(s) to go for.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-17198857649801613882011-04-15T10:41:38.508+01:002011-04-15T10:41:38.508+01:00Nicely done VtG!

Next Wednesday is when I'll review the Hasslefree Hazmat Troopers. And yes, I think they are the best as well. Be patient, my trusty followers, you won't have too long to wait.<br /><br />@Roger. I know what a great painter you are, so your comments on my painting of these figures was particularly gratifying.

As I said in my review, white can be a difficult colour to paint effectively but I'm very pleased with how these guys turned out.<br /><br />@Meghan. I'd love to claim that the black and yellow stripes on the flamethrower was my idea but to tell the truth I just copied it from Copplestone's website. Whoever had painted his figures for him had added bits of yellow and black striping to all of their weapons. To me, it looked wrong, apart from the flamethrower. For some reason it works very well on that weapon.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-73800351969083814232011-04-13T16:41:14.203+01:002011-04-13T16:41:14.203+01:00Really nice job.
