I haven't met him yet, so I'll reserve judgement on the likeness. It is however a great miniature in its own right.

Great paint job on a super mini!

Have never met the Plynkster, but I must say it kinda fits my imagination of the guy.

The bat... for wacking people over the head... is especially fitting.   :o   lol

Nice mini, might have to get one of those. Can't comment on the likeness either as, I too ,have never met the subject but it looks it would make a suitable Charles Laughton, albeit with less follicles.

Thats bloody awsome. Since when have you lot been making miniatures?

It is not 'us lot', if you by that mean the LAF collective. It's the admin, Prof. Witchheimer who's started a business.

Am I the only one who doesn't quite get what 'The Twelfth Man' is supposed to be a reference to? 12th registered member here on the forum?

EDIT: Checked, so that wasn't it. But I did check wikipedia.

It's a cricket reference. There are eleven players in a team. Twelfth Man carries the drinks, and plays in the field when one of the 'proper' players needs to go and take a dump or something. It's just a jokey way of saying that even though I love it, I'm pretty rubbish at cricket.

T'is a great mini for sure. Well done all.

Is there enough room to paint the tatoo on the back of the neck though? ;D

Why do I see this guy as the enforcer for a gang of Historians turned Cricket Thugs/Street Toughs?;) Actually, I can think of quite a few settings he'd work in.

Well done, Alex. And Plynkes, you're a terrifying visage in lead...;)

So who is to be immortalised next Prof? you need to have a competition for that...I do fancy the Malamute evil Mastermind/Nosferatu myself ;D ;)

The next one is already sculpted but not moulded yet. There will be a competition on it for sure. And that’s all what I’m willing to tell at the moment :D

The LAF figure I would dearly love to see would be a miniature depicting the famous Berlin detective Ernst Gennat. Apart from being the legendary head of the Berlin Homicide Dept, Gennat was a larger than life figure in a quite literal sense. Weighed in at 30 stone which required his special six wheeler daimler Benz to have it's springs strengthened. The car itself was pretty special, the boot was fitted out as a mini crime lab.

Maybe a matching pair with a wraith like Anita Berber figure?

He doesn't post much on the LAF though these days.
Title: Re: LAM Release - Plynkes, The Twelfth Man
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on February 11, 2011, 01:12:46 PM
He would make a great figure, Carlos, without doubt, but he's not a member of LAF :) The idea of the LAF range is to immortalize our members.

But one day if everything goes well I would like to produce an Adventure range and then tell me that again.

That's a very interesting idea, let;s hope that "that day" will come as early as possible

How do we know he doesn't post here? Ok, there's the headstone in Berlin, then there's the fact that he would be over 130 but can we completely rule the possibility out? I mean what about Elvis?
Title: Re: LAM Release - Plynkes, The Twelfth Man
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on February 11, 2011, 01:27:51 PM
Elvis was a spammer, had to ban him.

You know this could be a really cool sort of annual contest, the board member/winner gets to be immortalized in miniature form! Just throwin' that out there...

Imagine if they did something like this over on TMP. The advisory warning packaging for the minis would have to say something along the lines of  'BASED ON A TMP PERSONALITY, NOT SAFE AROUND CHILDREN'

So, Elvis has not only left the building but he's been banned from the building?

It wouldn't have happened in Las Vegas.

Congratulations, Plynkes, another candidate for membership of the sinister League of Bald-headed Men.

I'll have you know that I'm not bald - I shave my head. It's not my fault if Alex can't paint head-stubble.  :)

The figure, dear boy, the figure. Not your own muscular, well-defined and follicularly-endowed self.

Nice figure, no kidding.  I'll pop one into my basket with my next order (which will likely be when the pirates arrive... hint, hint).

Well, I shouldn't have to remind you old boy but there is a remedy at hand. Australia's current crop of Test Cricketers might be as useful as tits on a bull but their predecessors have been working night and day on a scientific cure. So good, it's even got Liz Hurley and Graham Gooch fooled.
