QRF Deep Space Colonists


I'll just say that the quality of this old set is not up to more recent competitors' efforts.

I like the concept of the mother and baby, and the not-Ripley/ Newt is the reason I got this set. The baseball bat figures are going to be useful for civilians in a variety of games.


These figures make good zombies... In hindsight, I think that one of them has a chestburster in flagrante. The other one's right arm was just about falling off at the elbow, which is a bizarre moulding failure given the position.

The set also came with six facehuggers; I gave them a very pale green colour to make them stand out more from the sandy basing. I based them on 15mm washers (I usually use 20mm). Here they are with Khurasan Space Demons and an Exterminator.


Check out my other colonists!

'A new life awaits you in the Off-World Colonies'

Some pictures of packs of GZG 15mm civilians. They've got that classic well-fed look, but are full of character.


Pack SG15 V01 Colonists A. 

 Pack SG15 V02 Colonists B.- a more space-western look.

Pack SG15 V03. Young colonists.

Pack SG15 V04. Technicians.

I enjoyed painting these. They were my first effort at 15mm SF, and I used them to practice with achieving effects and highlights before embarking on 'more serious' projects. I like civilians in my games to add colour and flavour. 

On a technical note, I'm going to try to standardise new photos so they are clearer and not so blue-hued. Also, I'll work on making them 'clickable' so you can see them closer.
