and while you are at it, why don't you scult a 'Grimm' as well? His avatar gives a good impression of how he looks in RL and he should fit nicely in ANY pulp game :-) no offense meant!

Wow, Eric, he's just great, love your sketch!! Love his beard and this backpack full strange things is perfect! What's about a sort of hiking boots with bootlaces and maybe a knife on the trousers. No idea about hiking boots in the pulp era?...

I think it would be more combat boots than hiking boots.

I think he needs a Mauser though.  :)

Yeah, there is hiking boots then. Well, at least several of the Pulp minis out there have them. There's also the leather stockings that go over boots or the long socks rolled up to just below the knee. But then he'd have to be in shorts.

It's up to everyones votes I guess. Also, this is just a basic idea of what he might look like, so feel free to 'add' equipment ideas and I'll try and come up with a final look to him. I'm assuming this is basically what he'll look like then?

Also, I can sculpt pretty well, but I'm inexperienced which results in slooooowness. I could pull it off, but do you want to play with him this year or next :D

There should probably be a poll of some kind. What he'll be used for, as Loki suggested him as a trophy originally and we've stolen his idea, and of what he should look like/be equipped with. Also, vote for the prefered sculptor and all that.

Off the top of my head, Todd would charge $250-300. Mike Owen quoted me once at 150 pounds and up, which would be roughly the same, unless he's cheaper for certain things. I would imagine Copplestone to be up there too, as last I heard he wasn't doing commisions anymore, but he might make exception to this, as we give him lots of business with all the Pulp topics. I don't know Bob Murches rates, if any. None of this has the molds or castings included, which would add a couple hundred overall.
It's not cheating if your stupid.

Just 3 hours offline, and you're getting nuts like this! I want him, the sketch is marvelous (just elongate the upper torso a bit).

Thanks guys.

"just elongate the upper torso a bit"

I'm going with the style of the times. They hiked their pants up to thier belly buttons like the old men of today!

But I'll leav that to the sculptor really.

I also want to use it as a gaming miniature, to use it for a specific event as
a trophy would only be a positiv sideeffect.

So it should be something like a 30mm figure. With a lot of pulpy details -
like the backpack.

Any chance of a headgear for the mini ?

I am with you, that we should make a poll.

Love the idea of a LAF mini, but I'm not sure about the concept. There are lots of traditional adventurer types out there. I kind of saw the Prof as more of mysterious, mastermind type.

 :mrgreen: yeah, that's me, very mysterious  :wink:

OK, seriously, you're right, there are lots of adventure guys with a gun out there and your idea isnt bad but the backback Eric draw is just brilliant. And you can add lots of things like tentacle and so on. On the other hand we can take a bit crazy mastermind, messed hair, a coat with lots of pockets, some bags with things etc. Yes, i Like it too :) We just make a pool later

He could always have his mastermind coat on and then his backpack. The gun can be holstered and he could have his arcane books in hand.

I figure either way he has to go out on adventures, or else that meddling Dr. Jones or obnoxious O'Conner family might get the loot. Don't get me started with Doc Thompson. They can't have all the glory!

A mauser pistol is the rectangular one right? that would work just the same.

I really like the idea of a counterfoil to all those goody goody adventurers, and the mastermind coat is a clincher. I like the Prof's idea of having all the tentacles, scrolls, idols and other essentials stuffed into large pockets. Sort of "Prof and his coat of many pockets".  :wink:
