There will be no zombies in it per se, unless you class Mysteron agents as zombies. <br /><br />Yep, I like gore and miss it when it's not there!Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-26283820662289728662015-08-09T14:07:49.870+01:002015-08-09T14:07:49.870+01:00AAARRGGH!

Are they going to be used fighting the zombie menace? Or do you see a sci-fi project on the horizon?<br />As usual your painting and converting is top notch Dude. I do miss the gore though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11616664689882136444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-35655883470945298012015-08-09T12:24:38.638+01:002015-08-09T12:24:38.638+01:00I very much appreciate your kind words, Simon. As ...I very much appreciate your kind words, Simon. As a child, Gerry Anderson's TV series held me in awe. Now, over fifty years later, I still admire them. I have plans for running a "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons" batrep, hopefully sooner rather than later.<br /><br />Whilst it is heartening to hear that you've ordered the DVD set to see what all the fuss is about I apologise for making you spend more money. I seem to have a bad habit of doing that! I also wonder what you will make of the series? Bear in mind it was made at a time when the technological advances made in film making were many years away. Whilst the puppetry may look amateurish (puppets just can not move realistically) you have to admire the vehicles and the production values. <br /><br />Please don't delay finishing your "Gotham City High Rise" project. I definitely want to see that completed asap!Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-80927676734389764982015-08-09T12:00:21.158+01:002015-08-09T12:00:21.158+01:00What an astonishingly terrific posting Bryan.

I actually do own these minis, but bought them as a "Crooked Dice" completionist (something I've had to long-since stop) rather than with any intention to paint them. This posting however has certainly changed all that and I've already ordered the DVD set to see what this is all about. Of course it could also mean me parking my current "Guild Ball", "Frostgrave" and 'Gotham City High-Rise" projects in order for me to start a "Captain Scarlet" one... But you;re used to that right? ;-) Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-71970223345975323092015-08-09T10:56:08.072+01:002015-08-09T10:56:08.072+01:00Thanks, Mathyoo.
