A fun mini project to complete were these Eureka Miniatures' 18mm Sci Fi Mayans in the style of Jack Kirby (Marvel comics). They were a gift from Nic, and I planned to use these for post apocalyptic car war games, but they're a little small compared to 1/72 / 20mm toy cars. So I'm currently writing so skirmish rules for them.
They were fun to paint, a little flash that was easily cleaned up. I also added magnets to the 20mm washer bases, to see if this is a viable storage solution (Mike has convinced me to start a 20mm Soviet Battlegroup army...). Apart from Kirby, their style also reminds me of Pierre Christin's Valerian comics (particularly Empire of a Thousand Planets).
In addition in the same painting session I also painted these 28mm Victorian lamp posts (all from Eureka) for my ongoing botanic gardens terrain project.
