EDIT: Once again, some improved photos. Thank you very much to those of you who have given guidance. I hope the new shots here will give you a better view of these beautiful castings by Pulp. My painting just doesn't do them justice. You should be able to see the scar on one of the leaders now, along with slightly better detail. These still aren't as sharp as I'd like, but they're a sight better than the previous photos.
Heroes of OUR AMERICA! These dashing flyers are yet another set from Pulp Figures - this time packs from the 'Rocket Trooper' line. As a kid, I had the honor of meeting one of the black heroes of WW2, a veteran of the 761st. I always thought he'd make a good Pulp Hero.
These gentlemen are, for the most part, African-American officers in the US Army. In the idealized world of the Pulps, they haven't suffered -quite- as much intolerance, but I'm sure it's no accident that these brave men were chosen to test the experimental rocket packs that have now made them famous. Based out of Fort Charles Young in Costa Pacifica, California, the brave men of the Tuskeegee Rocket Corps (named for the University where they were first recruited) have battle enemies foreign, domestic, and interplanetary!
Another group of heroes for our upcoming Pulp games, and already some of my favorite figs.
Coming soon - Captain America and Bucky, and the mysterious Doc Twilight himself! (soon as I can figure out how to add a fedora to a figure).
Hope you like these.
-Doc
