Recent painting has primarily been focussed on fantasy and/or ploughing through several of the big miniature boardgames acquired via Kickstarter over the last few years. However my fondness for 15mm sci-fi remains as does my appreciation for the work of PF.
Several years ago I made it a bit of a mission to collect up 15mm sci-fi that PF has sculpted – no mean feat as he has worked for various manufacturers over the years in the US, UK and elsewhere. At the time I managed to hunt down most of the available offerings but have not as yet managed to complete them all.
I did however, spurred on by a fellow 15mm sci-fi fan’s work on the 15mm Sci-Fi Gaming Facebook group, get around to painting these fine examples of PFs work. Amongst my favourites. (If you want to see other PF sculpts that I have painted search with the tag Sculptor PF Collection.)
They are the Pangalactic Legion available here from Rebel Minis in the US. A organised mercenary force made up of numerous (albeit all humanoid) aliens, bursting with fine detail, a lot of character and some great poses.
Painting-wise I was looking for a UN type of colour scheme but I’m not convinced that painting the guns white works or not – they look unfinished at a glance. Anyways.
First Squad
Note: One of the heavy weapons is an interloper from Rebel Minis ‘Scourge’ range – needed him to balance up the squad sizes and still avoid duplicates.
Second Squad
And all together 
Please note – the miniatures displayed are not the entire pack contents. They represent one of each sculpt in a pack with multiple casting of each.
A very nicely painted set in my opinion.
I think that, as well as UN operatives, this finish could also be a winter colour scheme.
Personally I think the white weapons look fine; it’s possible the guns are constructed from a type of ceramic rather than metal. I used this justification myself when painting some of GZG’s Moongrunt figures (metal weapons could be problematic on the lunar surface due to temperature variations).
Same thoughts here John. Just seemed too easy to paint that way
A little P.S. to my previous comments; what colours did you use to paint the main bodies of the models?
Oh dear. I don’t recall exactly. Primary paints I use are Wargames Foundry tri colours. But a lot of washes and inks from w&n and Vallejo. And lots of others… so useless answer bud.
