Looking for 25/28mm Pilot
« on: 28 July 2010, 12:21:16 AM »
Hi guys,
I'm a bit unoriented when it comes to modern minis. And since my latest project is à somewhat modern setting, I need your help.
I'm looking for a pilot mini, preferably a helicopter one :) As I might need to do some different poses and stuff, it would be great if they were more than model to choose from. It doesn't matter if he's an american or french, nor does he need to be super modern. As long as he (or she in case my wife reads this) is easily distinguished as "The Pilot".

I'll appreciate all links!

And for info, he will double as the pilot that survived his co-pilot going zombie, or as à zombie or as the poor sod getting impaled when the helicopter crashes.

Can't seem to edit my text...

I know about the downed pilot behind enemy lines and the tag one, but any else? :)

Those look okey (actually the pose I want), but the painting is a bit of a turn-off, anyone got some better pics?

Cheers Stone! :)
They look a bit "fisty" though :/

just realised the walking wounded one in the MoFo pack would work for that... planning something similar myself...

I think Britannia has soem downed helicopter pilots in its Mogadishu range, if you're OK with Britannia's style.

Looks like you could fill a board with different pilots.

They've been mentioned in other threads. Anyone got a pic? Painted or unpainted doesn't matter :)
Thanks all once again, ordered the Griffin pilots today, hopefully they won't be to much hassle to zombifie, victimise and impale.

By the way, anyone know a flashlight bit for 28mm?

@Steve:
Its tempting...

@Evil:
Hopefully your idea Will been done before mine so I can steal stuff from it ;)

I'll see if I can update the singles gallery to link to larger pictures.

Thought I'd already done that...

Probably too late, but whatever. Heads are mix and match on these ones.
