Greetings from rainy Mainz (Germany)

Well for what it's worth, after reading some of the Starfist novels I really 
liked the idea of the Skinks as opposition forces to human troops such as 
the NAC or NSL forces and as their rank and file troops were not described 
as being too high tech (compared to the human Marines with their chameleon 
suits...) but who's natural abilities largely allowed them to negate some of 
the Marines High-Tech advantage.
As the Skinks are bipedal amphibians with "hands" who use an "acid throwing" 
sort of weapon I opted to use the PAU figures as the basis for them and in 
reality only needed to do a head swap using the Games Workshops older style 
Skinks. It will be more difficult to create the "Large ones" which appear to 
be an "Über Skink" but hey it is a fun project to dabble in...

but other than the obligatory "Greys"  and a few of the WEG aliens from the 
Star Wars setting I don't have much in the way of aliens in my collection, I 
think it is like David Drake once said "I don't write much about aliens, 
because I never was one...!"  (or somthing to that effect)

Regards,
Joe
