2024 Painting Log
Switching back to the final frontier
Here are the last Star Trek: Away Missions figures: the original series crew, including Lt. Leslie, the ultimate red shirt. Apparently Leslie (played by actor Eddie Paskey) appears in the background in almost every episode of the original series. He’s worn all three colors at various times, and has the distinction of having died and then reappeared later in the very same episode.
Like the rest of the miniatures for this game, these were great fun to paint. I started this batch out primed in light grey and then drybrushed white, thinking I would try to do them entirely in speedpaints to give them a slightly different look from the Next Generation crew. I got mixed results, and ended up doing extensive highlights over the speedpaint with traditional paints (I even repainted Chekov almost entirely). The final results look good though, and I’m looking forward to spending some more time with the game.
