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

No. But I do have a grubby transit van...lol

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?

Thanks.

Figure had a black undercoat.

Camel coat. Start with a base of P3 Rucksack Tan and keep adding a boney colour to highlight until the lightest areas are pure bone. I used Army Painter bone, but any of the bleached bone variants will do. I think I may have used a thin glaze of Vallejo Model Colour(VMC) Brown Glaze to darken the deepest recesses.

Blonde Hair. VMC English uniform base. Then add a sandy colour. I used VMC Dark Sand. Paint on a 50/50 mix, then a layer of pure Dark Sand, then mix VMC Pale sand 50/50 with the Dark Sand for a highlight, finally a few highlights of pure pale sand on the highest areas where the light should be hitting.

Hi guys
Craig from Killer B Games here. Sorry about the problems with the website. We have been having problems with it for a while and as such my 'website guy' is in the process of switching servers. Until then you can PM me if you would like to order anything and I can send you a PayPal invoice. A full listing can be found on our U.S. stockist's website.

All the best

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... ;)

This is 1973, you'll need a MK3 cortina you nonce! ;) (quattro was Ashes to Ashes)


Lovely paint jobs on  those geezers! Nice

My gaff. My toys. My rules. Quattro is a prettier car. So shattitt you scrote. lol

Temporal anomaly. They will mostly fight daleks and cybermen anyway. When my lot play 7tv it can get strange. Once we had Our Man Flint fighting Tintin in a nuclear missile base. Snowy killed most of the ZOWIE operatives...I didn't plan it that way.

I wish. That would have made a bit more sense.

I had set up a spy-fi game and one of the players who shall remain unnamed bought along a Tin Tin gang, Thompson twins, cpt Haddock - the lot. We let him play cos we are nice but the dog was a close combat psychopath. Running round biting everyone, evading gunfire and generally causing doggie mayhem.

No pictures were taken. Which is a shame.

Merely words on a screen about toys I like Mr Vyper. Why the need to be all hostile and eye rolly? Did I somehow offend you by suggesting your joke may have been preferable to what actually happened? WTF?

Oh. Thought it was some kind of dig and bemused as to what I had done(I am from the 18th century and relatively new to all this social media on difference engines). Wondered where I had been bad and was considering joining frothers since if I can cause a ruck on leadadventure without even knowing it maybe I should go there. lol!

So hugs all round with no one wounded! Yay!

Anyway to keep this on track.

Here is a picture of this cast's consulting detective. A terrible photo but at least it is about figures.

Black Pyramid figures I believe.

Lovely paintbrush skills.  Still find the Wpc frightening to look at, not your paint skills but something to do with the sculpt and a run in with a wraf copper when I was a wee scalybrat
Smile!  It's not that bad!

Those are really nice paint jobs, the faded jeans and leather jacket on blondie look superb. Even better than the ties on your first lot.

Excellent painting. Have just ordered a bunch of Geezers on the strength of your pics.

And yeah, I know what you mean, I spent nearly all yesterday afternoon on ebay. Got an XJ12, a Capri, an E-Type and a Bedford van. Missed an Escort and a police Jaguar. It was almost more fun than gaming.
