Both are excellent.

I missed the references for both as well before I read the thread :) But both the Clue and the Nintendo-era Double Dragon are done excellently well! Both have very crisp and clean lines.

Jagannath, I think if you had some 32-bit boxes and a subway car staged in the shot it would have been a draw for sure! :) Dr. Mathias, excellent stuff.

Thanks

The Cyberpunks are excellent.  Very unlucky to be matched with these.

I saw an excellent thread here on LAF a while back in which Orctrader posted his set, and I loved their look. Mark Copplestone is awesome at individualizing 28mm faces and poses. I actually didn't change much from Orctrader's scheme, because I wanted them to pretty much be dressed in the colors of their names- which doesn't leave a ton of options :) Here's his thread by the way, it's very informative:

Just be aware that these figures were never made to be painted- they are pewter game pieces with a specialty patina- and the casting quality is not great (it was just fine for what they were supposed to do). Lots of mold lines, pitting, flash, etc. and Peacock was the worst of the set- her face was almost nonexistent and needed some serious putty work.

EM-4 was perhaps going to release them again at some point, but I never did hear what came of it.


Thanks for the praise  :)  I think yours are excellent.

Doug did make them available but on his other site - Moonraker Miniatures.  I did actually offer the use of my photos but he has others up at the moment.   ::)

I'm assuming these are "proper" castings now so should be easier to work with.

Oh! I didn't know that. Good news :) Thanks!

And... he should have used your pics!!!

Of course! What an advance in quality that would be. But sometimes I think manufacturers don't want to sell their products by better promoting them. Don't know why ...  o_o

Haha thanks - not sure on that, scenery aside the Dr's painting is Robert exquisite. That is the downside of using my LPL Entries to work on a new project.... no scenery to match!

Great scene by the good Dr.! The painting is absolutely top notch and all the detail is absolutely awesome. Those socks are priceless  :-*

Well done on the Punks as well! They have a certain 80's vibe to them I actually quite like.
