Title: Crooked Dice: Tweedy and Astronaut heads
Post by: uti long smile on May 08, 2011, 04:18:02 PM
As well as the Guru, we've two new head sprues for conversion or simple head swaps coming in June.

We've a Travelling Tweedy sprue (with Cowboy Tweedy, Beardy Tweedy and Arabian Tweedy) and we've collected the Astronaut heads onto one sprue and added a new Zombie Astronaut head.

All sculpted by Ian Mountain and currently being mastered.

And here are some pics with the figs:

Nice, very nice. Any chance of any of tweedy's past 'looks' coming up as head swop fodder.

Strikes me that Beardy Mattinson on an astronaut body could do for a suited Kert Gantry (Mission to the Unknown) or Bennett from The Rescue. There's a look of Kirk Douglas about him - I think he'd be dead useful as a head.

Good headswop for a Special forces OP or post apoc survivor, loads of uses.

Splendid! And very useful for all sorts of things. But you're starting a dangerous trend here – you'll be getting request for a pirate-hatted May Killan next!  ;)

If I had one comment, it's that the Fez is slightly too tall and pointy - it should really be a bit more squat. Of course, this isn't anything that the judicious application of a file wouldn't correct.

Believe it or not, I walk past Fez sellers every day, because I am currently resident in... Fez!  lol

Great thanks!

I've been wondering if it was such a great idea going to Salute three days before moving to Morocco though: I'm full of painting ideas and a thousand miles away from my brushes! It's driving me crazy! ;D

Oh splendid! Are there any readers out there currently in Derby? Panama? Astrakhan? etc.

Another option for Beardy, Bill Masen from David Maloney's BBC version of 'Triffids'.
