Is there Life on Mars?
« on: July 15, 2013, 12:29:24 PM »
These are two of the Crooked Dice Police Detectives, both miniatures are great figures.
The not-Sam Tyler was painted some time ago, and the not-Gene Hunt today. I'm quite pleased with how Gene turned out, but now I see Sam in comparison to Gene I have mixed feelings about Sam.
Here are the pictures:








I would very much appreciate comments!  :)

I pretty much liked Life on Mars. It reminded me on my childhood.

I think they're both very good. What, exactly, are you concerned about?

I think they look pretty darn good. The only problem I see is you gave Gene black shoes. He always wears white loafers in the show. I only know this because I've seen the series so often. My wife has a thing for Sam Tyler.

Nice work.
However Michka is correct. Gene Hunt should be in white loafers (or snake skin boots for Ashes to Ashes).
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.
