Killer B Not Life on Mars 7TV cast.
« on: October 15, 2013, 12:12:27 AM »
Got a shiny new blog so I thought I would use it as an excuse to show off my Life on Mars figures. As I say in the blog, Crooked Dice made their own figure range in less time than it took me to paint these figures...









A few more pictures are on the new blog
http://mysticspiralsmonkeybusiness.blogspot.co.uk/

I know the figures may not be to everyone's taste but I really think they paint up nicely, not too much work and they have tons of character. No disrespect at all to Killer B, but I do think the images on the their site could be a bit more flattering.

If I have one caveat. This sort of thing leads to die cast collecting. Since buying these I have got me an Audi Quattro and more squad cars than I have coppers... ;)

It wasn't me. Honest. This big monkey did it and ran off.

Very nice brush work. You've really done those figures justice.

 :o Those are amazing. Life on Mars is my wife's favorite show, ever. (Might have something to do with Sam.) I bought these miniatures a couple years ago, and only got the Annie one painted. Since then the Crooked Dice figures have come out and now I have even more figures and nothing to show for it. And here you are, ready to game...

Actually, do you have any bad guys done for this yet?

Lovely painting, I really do love that range of figures as well as the GAFDOZ line. You've certainly brought out the best in those figures.

Excellent painting skills on display here! Couple of questions? How did you do the camel coat on 'Not Gene'? Also, I can never get blonde hair right on a mini...how did you manage to make it look so good?
