Chris and I continue to paint figures for our 20-layer GASLIGHT Mars game for Historicon. \u00a0Early this morning I finished my second unit of Red Martians. \u00a0In this picture they are fighting off a white ape. \u00a0All figures are Bronze Age.<\/p>\n

This picture shows a slightly different view of the figures. \u00a0I painted the skin a light orange and then applied Windsor Newton nut brown ink.<\/p>\n

The white ape will act as a “wandering monster” in the Mars game.<\/p>\n

Ironclad miniatures makes these Jawa-looking figures for science fiction games. \u00a0I like them as Martian desert raiders.<\/p>\n

Ironclad makes a couple of different types of cannons to go with these figures.<\/p>\n

The ground cloth for our game is a color, called copper canyon. \u00a0We used a variety of spray paints to give it a mottled look.<\/p>\n
