Ainsty Castings Valley Forge Crew Set from “Silent Running”

 Ainsty Castings https://www.ainstycastings.co.uk/ (why didn’t they called themselves Ainsty miniatures 🤔) produced a set of Valley Forge (the name of the American Airlines Space Freighter) crew. Well since Silent Running is one of my favourite Sci-fi films and I started to play/ run Mothership RPG, I just had to paint them. 

The sculpts are a bit dated and the heads and a few hands cam separate but had to be glued on, which was another challenge. But still not too bad and am pleased with the paint job which was pretty accurate to the colours used in the film.

I highly recommend watch this classic Sci-fi from the 1970s.

Citadel RT7 Mercenaries “No-Face Fargo”

Citadel RT7 “No-Face Fargo” from the mercenaries range from 1987. Purchased in the late 1980s and eventually got to paint him for some Sci-fi miniatures needed for myself to run Mothership RPG. Painted in 1970s orange style reminiscent of Space 1999 and X-Wing pilots of Star Wars.
