About the Project
Once upon a time, there were many metal miniatures that were played with nearly every day. Then, over the years, they were neglected and replaced by plastic and resin. Some of these miniatures never made it and ended up in the bin. However, some remained at the parents' house. In 2018, these miniatures came back and were placed in a Dettol bath in the garage and FORGOTTEN until 2023. This is the story of their rescue and resurrection.

It's been a while
I’ve not posted anything for ages but have been working away on these two. The first is a newer plastic Ork I got free somewhere. Although a bit bigger than the older metal ones he will fit in ok.
Medic!
I wanted to move away from the usual red and white for medic. I went for the deep green and gold of a Paramedic.
Marines Finished
These are the opponent’s to the Orks below. They were all painted with Army Painter speed paints with a little extra highlighting added. I’m going to need to put a battlefield together now.
Beakies, well kind of
I think this may have been a Christmas Marine from back in the 80’s. He’s going to be an assault marine now. Metal jump packs on Ebay are a little expensive so used a Cadian flamer tank as a replacement. He’s been drybrushed ready for Speedpaint.
More Sporkz
These were all painted using Army Painter Speed Paints. There was a tiny bit of additional highlighting and a Dark Tone wash over the mettalics.
They are my 250 pts for Grimdark Firefight.
A pair of Sporkz
These were my test minis. Both painted with Army Painter speed paints and then a final few highlights added.
