Hi guys,
For your information here's a picture of the first in my commissioned range of Retro-Sci Fi figures that I am bringing out over the coming months.
This particular chap is Captain Gamma of the Proton Rangers, a noble legion that once brought truth and Justice to the Galaxy before being betrayed and cast into a black hole by a power hungry comrade.
10 years later the Rangers have mysteriously returned, not having aged even a day and now equipped with some curious pieces of alien technology.
This band of heroes now seeks to overthrow their one time friend the tyrannical dictator Major Canis and his army of Mecha-Men and thereby bringing freedom and justice back to what has now become a cynical greedy universe.
The figure is armed with a ray gun and electro-sabre- a sabre that bristles with powerful electrical charge at the push of a button.
He wears an alien teleportation device on his chest activated by aligning 3 dials in order to pin point the location then pressing the centre button.This allows the Rangers to teleport in and out of danger.
Stay tuned for more Proton Rangers such as the Galactic Gunfighter Jek Starkiller, Klug Pluton the gentle giant and Corvus Libra: master inventor.
Hope you like the figure.He was sculpted by Bob Olley and is fully compatible with W.S.D.s Dick Garrison range.

Bob Olley strikes again! Unmistakable style, love the fig! Cant wait for more of the new range!
-
In a word 'Wow!'
Mark one down as sold, Cap. I really love the retro feel to it. The Ray Gun is one of the best I've seen.

Thanks for the positive comments guys.s
Well the first casts are ready and I have a veritable legion of metal Gammas available. Feel free to E-Mail me at the Quartz Sanctum for details.
Incidentally I should point out that the electro-sabre is a typical metallic sabre that bristles with electricity when activated. It's not to be confused with a light sword. ( Sir Gannymede the lost Knight will have one of them.)
-
I so need this guy. (and probably all his friends......)
-
the man does good work! looking forward to more figures and details.
-
I can't wait to see all the other models you'll be doing, especially the metal monsters you mentioned!

Normally I'm not that much into Sci-Fi stuff at the moment, but more figs in this style could change that :)

Hi folks,
Just to let you know, I've established that postage of Captain Gamma to the USA will be £1.20.
Thanks again for all the positive comments.

Do you have a website... Did i miss something?
-
What about the rest of the world? Or SPain, to be precise... :)
-
As luck would have it I have just enquired specifically about Spain and the postage is 60p I've just had another Spanish customer enquire.

This is fantastic! (There's a pun there...) When are these available? Where do I send my Galactic Groats to? There's so much raised detail that will paint up sooo good, even in the hands of a £$%^& painter like me! I may well paint up my old Shia Khan Space Goblins to use with Captain Gamma - reading "Larklight" has convinced me that Space Goblins count as Retro-SF!
And it means Dick Garrison now has some-one to have a pint with...(!)

Sorry Argonar,I missed your message there. I don't have a web site yet.
-
I went ahead and ordered one of the figures.
If i get it quick enough, and have time to do it, he may just take Dick Garrison's place as Star Commander in my Fantastic Worlds Cold Wars Games...

And more teutonic efficiency.... :cry:
That has to be one of the quickest 'Release-to-painted-sample-online' That I've ever seen!
Great Job!

Thanks guys :mrgreen:

By the way, I'm British not German :lol:

Great work! I like the busy color palette with blacks and bronzes, very comic-strip-esque.
By the way, I'm British not German :lol:
You're not fooling anyone, Hans. :)

I knew... But the phrase seems to be a leit-motiv of this group of Most Extraordinaire Painters :mrgreen:

Just wanted to say I ordered one of these Monday and received it in the USA today. 4 day shipping across the pond is fantastic and Craig was exceedingly helpful and informative. If you want this guy don't have any hesitations about the service.
also the casting on the fig is very good anf he will take minimal clean up.
