On the workbench - 5150 Zhuh-Zhuh space crew

[easyeight]

Yes indeed, been binge painting for my 5150 games lately! As I’ve been working through my roster of figures for the 5150 Bugs Breakout campaign book, I started working on my aliens. I’ve done Hishen and Razors for my 5150 Star Marine games, and had purchased figures for depicting Zhuh-Zhuh, but never got around to painting them. I bought a bunch of 28mm “Boiler Suit Apes” from Eureka Miniatures, for a mix of Zhuh-Zhuh and Muggie Zhuh-Zhuh (the smaller members of the species).

So the Eureka minis come on a standard cast base, but I really wanted to base the figures on some 28mm moonscape resin bases I got from somewhere (probably Secret Weapons or Micro Art Studios) — so I had to do an old fashioned drill ‘n pin job.

Those look great! Just wish I could find something similar in 15mm.

I had the same idea as yours, but didn't give them such good basing, it's really nice! But I did a few weapons swap to give them more futuristic look:
