"Khurasan previews 15mm Federal xenobiologist " Topic

Here's our Federal xenobiologist, painted up by the astonishing Marike Reimer. As you can see, Marike is at the top of her croft. :)

Sculpted by Tom Meier (who else)? Production castings still being spun but I should have in a few weeks. Cheers for looking.

Jaw dropping.

WOW!!!! Gotta get her for sure.

Dan

And you say this is 15mm?

Nice.

Stunning. Both sculpting and painting!

Stunning! Well done!

Very nice!

Wish we could get him to sculpt some Moonbase girls.

Pretty amazing!

Time for me to see if I can get my grandma's old magnifying embroidery light…

Model compared to US penny.

The penny almost looks like a threatening object in an Indiana Jones film!

My god man…that is amazing!

I am sooo looking forward to when my bonus is in, my 15mm collection will be growing at a scary rate…

-Mike

Tom, Marike, and Khurasan for the win. Astonishingly good!

Very Good!

Nicely Done!

Definitely worth a WOW

Is it me or does Tom Meier do some of the most jaw dropping 15/18mm figures out there? I look at them and go how can these realisticly proportioned creations be that damn small. I have several of them in my collection and just cant put paint on the figure because it would be a crime to deface it with my painting.

Tom Meier is a witch!

I think I just learned how to paint bare knees…

Wow and double wow – she'd be a great 28mm, let alone 15mm

"top of her croft"

You're killing me!

Seriously superb mini and fantastic paint job!

The sculpting is superb, but the paint job really rocks that mini!

I can't imagine painting eyes like that in 15mm/18mm scale.

Very pretty ! Some of the well known practitioners who sculpt and paint 28mm females could learn a trick or two from studying this softer approach …

Cannot believe it.

You've got to be kidding! My jaw is now on the floor!

You've got to pay for my jaw surgery!

I really hate these guys who can paint a 15mm figure better than most of us paint 28s….

The penny almost looks like a threatening object in an Indiana Jones film!

Jeeze! That's what I was thinking when I saw that picture.

Wow… that is absolutely amazing. I can't believe that she's a 15mm miniature. The next time someone rattles on about 15mm having no detail I'm going to link this mini!

Okay, I don't normally do pulp characters but I've GOT to get this one!

I intensely dislike the franchise this mini resembles, but that's nothing a bit of creative coloring won't fix. An absolute must-have model, painted spectacularly.

Daaaaaaamn…

That is all.

-Eli

Ditto all the above. Total awe!!!

So…

I need one for my daughter to use in our Shadowrun games, one for her to use in our Zombie games, one for her to use in our sci-fi games…right, then the wife…

How many do you put in the unit builder packs?

So, Tom Meier…. weighs less than….. a duck?

I didnt knew Jon that making this false oversized penny could be so profitable. ;)

Awesome. I would give my fourth tentacle to be able to paint like that.

We should kidnap this Meier guy, and force him to sculpt only 15mm stuff…

:)

<Umpapa>I didnt knew Jon that making this false oversized penny could be so profitable. ;)</ q>

Yeah with rapid prototyping it would be easier to get bigger coin that this miniature :>

… making this false oversized penny…

Because of the camera angle and it's placement, the penny is actually making the figure seem a bit bigger than it is. A penny is 19mm, the figure is about 16mm from the base to the top of the head (15mm 'to the eyes' in line with Khurasan's other figures)- just so you know for compatibility.

I can't imagine how Marike paints eyes like that, amazing.

SpaceJacker, what would Tony Hill say???

Would love to see your paintup of this model.

Yes Tom and Marike are a formidable combination:

By the way, I think that may be the look on Tom's face when I ask him if he'll make a line of 15mm sci fi for me….

We gotta make him an offer he cannot refuse!

He's already a legend IMO for his 28mm work, but when I see one of his 15mm minis, I'm always stunned to learn that it's 15mm. A stunning paint job helps, of course.

We need more characters in 15mm sci fi, so this is a welcome addition.

Hmmm, just thinking out loud.

Would love to see a Mrs. and Mr. Smythe as well.

You know, the two people who live quite well in suburbia, not really knowing what the other does for a living, and eventually finding out. Then getting into a tremendous brawl and gun battle later, thoroughly wrecking their home, but eventually reconciling at the end of the flick, in order to fight others that are against both of them.

They'd be great for a cinematic action game, or three.

What about Evelyn Salt?

Yea, she'd be nice too, or the Catherine Zeta Jones cat burglar, trying to avoid those laser detector beams like in the movie.

Catherine Zeta Jooooones
She dips beneath lasers
Ooooooh oooooh ooooooh

Have you got an up to date ETA gor this mino yet?

By the way, I think that may be the look on Tom's face when I ask him if he'll make a line of 15mm sci fi for me…

You say that like it's a bad thing!

And I second the request to make Tom "an offah he cannah refuze…"

Yessss… he needs to make a line of high-tech cyberpunk infantry… :D

I made the mistake of googling pictures OF Ms. Reimer. Totally forgot about her paint work.

Yes, yes, I'll go with astonishing…

Doug

I want…
