My MArtians and Soldiers are painted here :-

Take a look, especially at the martian helmets as these seem to be causing some controversy

I think all the plastic models and terrain are very good.

Some of the cardboard in the game (cows, car, bug, civiliians is really poor but that is not very important.

They look great, I like your blog too, especially the WW2 stuff.

I got my box yesterday and think they are pretty nice models, not too bendy or featureless like some have speculated and alluded to on some other sites and forums. The size is a little small compared to heroic scaled minis, but that is the only knock I have.

Nice paint work on the minis too Cpt.

Great stuff. I didn't even know they made "Mars Attacks!" stuff. Just like the movie (which I though was great in a campy sort of way).

But, gosh, what's wrong with the helmets? I thought they looked great. Very rare to see that clear "bubble" helmet.

Quick work. What glue did you use to stick on the helmets with?

I got my box earlier this week and I was disappointed by the size of the figures as I was hoping to use them with other games. Some of the weapons are bendy though on the Martians.

Gluewise I looked around and found a pva glue pen that claims to dry clear, it's only about £1.00 GBP called Docrafts Stick it so not expensive.

I think the little helmets are great, lots of people complaining but I did not have much problem with them

Aren't the figures Mantic's usual small 28mm scale?

CptKremmen05 Oct 2014 9:02 a.m. PST

I would describe them as small 28mm
