sea lions showing off their smart new uniforms
« on: November 18, 2006, 08:13:11 AM »
This link will take you to a picture of my newly painted sea lions: http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o153/magfja1/sealions002.jpg

Is black their lucky colour? Or was it a poor choice?

My vote - lucky color.
If sing, sang, and sung, sink, sank, and sunk, and drink, drank, and drunk, how is it that it isn't bring, brang, and brung, think, thank and thunk, and ding, dang, and dung?

Don't even get me started about bad, badder and baddest.  Run, ran AND run...again?  C'mon!

All depends on how lucky the owner is. ;D  Mini's look great.

Thanks gentlemen!  ;D Why black? Well, I kinda associated like this: Sea lions, spec ops, night ops, black ops, intimidation - black armour. Also, I had seen quite a few in blue armour and I wanted to try something different.

well, I can understand the aversion to the blue armor...

just curious is all...I personally went with camo for mine, but I like camo for the Capitol troops...

no...digital camera is acting kind of dodgy at the moment, so I use it sparingly until I replace it (hopefully this Xmas)...

Why black?  Black is fabulous!  They can come off of a mission, throw on some ties and immediatly go for some formal dining.  Plus it hides those nasty blood stains.

I'm not sure...black just doesn't do anything for me for use with the Sea Lions, not that blue did anything for me either...I understand the reason that he did it, but it isn't for me...

but then again, they aren't my minis...if it works for him, then go for it...I do like the way they were painted, though...

Also, black is never out of fashion. No capitolian elite soldíer should ever leave his dropship without his little black dress. You never know which catwalk must be cleansed and destroyed next...
