Here are some more kitbashed science fiction figures! On the left is a purple alien with a sniper rifle (which is impossible to really see from this angle). The head and arms are from Stargrave sprues, but the torso and legs are from the Dead Man's Hand Gunfighters sprue. His hat is from a Pike and Shotte sprue; the jaunty hat matched with the kerchief gives him a space-French look.
On the right is a space mountain man made from a Stargrave body and gun arm, along with a Dead Man's Hand saddlebags arm. He also has a backpack from a Death Fields Cannon Fodder sprue; the backpack carries a lot of explosives. Presumably, this grey-haired fellow totes around a goodly stash of gadgets and explosives along with his pistol.
Finally, in the center, is a Setla riding a genetically engineered dinosaur that I'm calling a Brontoid. This thing was kitbashed from all sorts of bits, and I love it. The dinosaur itself is a cheap children's toy; it came in a pack of a dozen different kinds, but this one looked suitable for riding. I went with a dark blue and orange color scheme, and the molded ridges really look good. The brontoid's headset/bridle is made from a part from the Antares set, some putty, and a tiny bead to hold the reins. He also has a tiny biomonitor on his chest, which also allows him to talk (but he's not very bright).
The rider is another Setla (I've apparently painted 17 Setla now?) made from a Reaper Miniatures Gray Alien Warrior with empty hands. I cut off the lower half and repositioned everything to make it look like they're sitting. The empty hands are glued to thin brown thread to look like reins and give some reason for the hands to be in such a weird pose. Working with that thread was a nightmare, but I'm happy with the result.
The saddle is a faceplate from a robot, the backpacks are from here and there, the gun is from Warlord Games Spec Ops, and the big belly strap is just painted duct tape.
