\"\"<\/a>Back in October, Ma’k Morin posted an item on his blog<\/a> about making a mold of some old Star Rovers Dragonspawn figures. \u00a0He sent me a bunch of these figures to paint. \u00a0I finally got around to them this weekend.<\/p>\n

\"Star<\/a>
Star Rovers Phrinx<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Recall that some weeks ago I painted some other figures that Ma’k molded, the Phrinx. \u00a0They sort of looked like ducks in Stormtrooper suits, so I painted them to look like Stormtroopers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I thought that the Deathspawn looked like rebels to me from the attack on Princess Leia’s ship at the beginning of Episode IV, so that’s how I painted them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ma’k sent 12 of each of the two poses. \u00a0This allowed me to make two units of ten with four figures left over. \u00a0I made two of the leftover figures. \u00a0I decided to modify two of the extras to create heavy weapons for the Dragonspawn platoon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This one is meant to be evocative of a Lewis gun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This one is meant to be some sort of anti-vehicular weapon. \u00a0Can you see what I used to make this weapon?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is the center section of this Dalek. \u00a0For some reason I had an extra one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also knocked out these three weeping angels for Dr. Who. \u00a0Finally I added the snow to my Winter War Russians. \u00a0This was done in the same manner as my previous post about putting snow on the bases of my Winter War Finns.<\/p>\n
