Utterly fantastic.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

That looks excellent PT, I'm seriously impressed with your figure conversion/painting skills. You're not bad with Photoshop either ;)

Thanks for the kind words guys, this really was a fun one to do.

I'm actually pleased with the photoshopping myself as I did not have access to my favourite Arcsoft PhotoImpression for the final base/ background match up and had to edit the gas mist on the backdrop using Microsoft Paint which is like trying to detail a 1/72 cockpit using a one inch brush!
I had to match the shade of the hoover fluff and incorporate it into the gas on the backdrop but the printed off backdrop had a different hue to the screen version which necessitated photographing the fluff on its own, printing a photo of that and then using the sample shade from THAT onto the backdrop and giving the gas a more 'Nimbus-y' look to merge with the real fluff.
