Geudens, I'm sorry to hear that your order is taking a while to arrive. Bills' service was second to none before the move and I'm sure he'll be back on track as quickly as he can.

No problem, I'm confident as far as Bill is concerned, but just a little anxious...

these are garisson caps?
look somehow different on the model
like knitwear

They are woollen 'comforters', typically portrayed on WW2 commando figures. Some where stitched into a crown, while others were just stitched straight across giving a ridge effect. One figure has a garrison cap though.

I wonder if Paul had to resist putting a 'bobble' on the one?

That's the one. Myself I'd prefer the woolly one.

Lovely painting! Is the top right chap from the film of "Things to Come"? He looks just like one of the warlords who take control after the war.

IIRC Paul has commented elsewhere that 'Shapes of things' was the inspiration behind the brigands pack. So yes, that's the 'Boss'

Thanks, Jim! I thought I recognised him.

He was an Original idea

. Well after I might have seen a Mlack and White film from the 1930s.

Arlequín · « **Reply #24 on:** October 23, 2009, 07:15:33 PM »

I'll erm back that up with this....

So I stand corrected, the figure is obviously 'not-the-boss'

While it was the future in 1936, it is now the past. That bit is set in the 1970s if memory serves. I grew up in the 1970s and I don't remember it being like that.

(I had quite forgotten that it was Ralph Richardson as the Boss.)

It was just like that in 70's Wolverhampton. Except for the flying fascist formation parachute team anyway.

I do find it ironic that the 'fascist' society that they portrayed in the film as a positive thing would be the very thing that a few years later the world would be fighting against.

thank You for introducing me to this remarkable movie. (watched the full version yesterday)
I never seen it before nor new it existed, allthough somehow aquainted with the work of H.G.Wells I am.

A pity there is no restored version, since the rough cut amounted some 120 min. of footage, and Wells seems to have had substantial artistic control, apart from the final cut down to 80 min.

I never seen such an interesting combination of "Civil War aesthetic" and "Raygun aesthetic ". It seems almost like there are 2 movies...
I'll have to watch it again, this is a key source of inspiration....

the way tanks are imagined to look in the future is interesting...

btw, the way the "wings over the world" society in 1970 is depicted, with their optimistic view of technology and industry, I think is not very far from actual 1970ies.
and the almost "on spot " prediction of the air raids against Britain is remarkable...
is this picture from the movie or from the real world?

just my thoughts...

Oh wow. How did I miss this thread? Those sculpts are great, and the paint jobs most excellent!
