Felicitations on your personal solstice!

So! I'm back. I haven't finished any of my other WIPs lately but I figure one more won't hurt. 
 
I'm planning on doing a film noir style desert expedition whereupon our investigators find something not of this world. 
 
I'm really excited for this one(not that I'm not excited for all my projects) but I have some hurdles to cross. 
 
I want a wall between the white and grey bones, preferably crumbly looking. Not sure where to start with that.  Figure out the best way to magnetize things. And the really big one: figure out how to actually paint in the style I'm trying to do.   
This will involve a lot of work and time. As well as some (maybe a lot of) practice minis. 
 
I'm currently in the mock up stage. I've got the minis I want and I'm trying to stage them how I think will look good as well as imagine the wall where I want it.
First stages of mock up.
 

 

Spent just about a week on this one. It was fun. My GS work sucks but it's done. C&C welcome.
 

Painted this up. Finally attached her to the base. Not sure if I want to just paint black over the base or do something fancy with it.
 

It's been quite some time since I've done a show off but here goes.
 
I painted this mini in about 6 hours. Still need to gloss and seal. C&C welcome.
