In addition to our two major terrain projects we really want to get a collection of sci-fi civilians together for our setting. Normally I think of miniatures in terms of combat for both RPGs and war games however there are times when unarmed civilians come in useful for both those things. Sometimes you have characters who are not armed or not apparently armed. Sometimes you need civilians for hostage scenarios or escort missions or just as background for unexpected fire fights. The "bad guys" might grab one for a human shield and the "good guys" are much less likely to go tossing about frag grenades in a crowded marketplace. At least we hope they would....
After doing quite a bit of searching I've collected several images that I think I would like to emulate in 28mm. Some of these I may convert from existing models and some of them I may sculpt over dollies. Others I will probably kitbash. I"m also going to be looking for some similar concepts in existing miniatures although there aren't a lot of civilian figures out there for sci-fi like there are for fantasy, modern, and historic settings.
I really don't have much more to say about the project. I'm actually hoping to get started on it as soon as possible although there are a few other projects I will likely do first. Anyway here are the rest of the images:
