Title: Crooked Dice: Female Time Lift Security - NOW IN STORE
Post by: uti long smile on 20 November 2011, 06:11:57 PM: 7TV's Project Time Lift seem to have an unlimited budget (or be very poor at securing stuff) as they now have more security staff to add to their ranks.

Here are some pics of Ian Mountain's greens. The masters arrived on Friday and have been approved, so expect these on our virtual shelves on 01 January. Kev Dallimore currently has these on his painting table, so more pictures soon.

Are the heads separate?

Post by: tnjrp on 21 November 2011, 11:17:35 AM: I like the pistolier (is that really a word?). I think she'd fit in with the Heresy security guards, tho scale issues may interfere (Heresy stuff seems to be "real 28mm" so on the small side these days).

The Crooked Dice stuff I have is of the slim style that matches up lovely with Heresy and Hasslefree.

Not sure if Pistolier is a word! :)

We try to scale things to match alongside Hasslefree, Copplestone and Heresy as much as possible.

And thanks to all for the kind comments.

My Collins dictionary gives "pistoleer [sic] n. Obsolete a person, esp. a soldier, who is armed with or fires a pistol."

I usually view pistoliers as cavalry.....
Would you want to see these girls riding a horse?

That may be because GW used the term for their Empire reiters, if I recall correctly.

Yeah - I think that's where my subconscious lifted that from.

And no plans for mounted TLS ;)

Post by: Mako on 22 November 2011, 12:04:08 AM: Those look great!

Would like to see a pistolier without a cap too, as well as other pose variants, since I could use a bunch of them.
Title: Re: Crooked Dice: Female Time Lift Security
Post by: ATP Painting Studio on 22 November 2011, 01:21:25 AM: The more I think about this, the more I want to do it. Any chance of making any resin/metal models of certain Time Lift cars? ;)

We had the good fortune to meet Gabrielle Drake a couple of years ago, she was appearing on stage locally with Robert Powell.
She's still attractive, even without the purple hair and silver suit.

Post by: Arlequín on 26 November 2011, 07:42:12 PM: Yes... 'Moonbase Albion' personnel are required, complete with purple wigs, they're important! Who else will stop these guys from stripping lead from roofs for their nefarious purposes?

Oh yes. Net Shirts!

Why, Oh why did they think that was a good look for the male crew though?
Title: Re: Crooked Dice: Female Time Lift Security
Post by: ATP Painting Studio on 27 November 2011, 08:23:57 AM: Actually, it makes sense if you see those net shirts as underlayers of coolant/heating piping for spacesuits.

And a start is already there with the Man from 2000, for me he is Ed Straker...
Title: Re: Crooked Dice: Female Time Lift Security
Post by: uti long smile on 27 November 2011, 09:02:18 AM: Great ideas all!

We're planning out some of next years releases at the moment - so many ideas, so little time!

The male crew had to have them otherwise they would know it's just a blatant chance to ogle more girls in string vests. But with everyone wearing them it's not a ploy, it's a costume concept. :~}

Post by: Arlequín on 27 November 2011, 03:30:05 PM: I just thought it was obviously very warm on the sub (not like you could open a window, or strip to the waist)... especially as Capt. Carlin had to wrap up a bit to go flying about. ;)

My painting is not up to the standards of the models I see here but you get the idea. I wonder where the blue tinge came from? The main uniform is gunmetal and the hair a metallic purple.

Post by: Michka on 10 January 2012, 12:49:33 AM: Do these T.L.S. gals have separate heads? I noticed that the girl without a hat has the perfect head for a certain space pilot from the first two seasons of Blakes 7. Actually it's the hair that sells it. If the head is separate it'll be an easy swap. If not I might have to destroy a figure to get at that head, which seems like a waste of fine lead goodness.

Post by: uti long smile on 10 January 2012, 01:11:43 PM: Sorry no - those one's were both single piece. Unusual for our figs I know!

The upcoming Daredevil Pilots will have heads on the tab (like the Femdroids) and a seperate head sprue of helmetted pilot heads.
Title: Re: Crooked Dice: Female Time Lift Security - NOW IN STORE
Post by: Michka on 10 January 2012, 02:56:27 PM: Daredevil Pilots sounds interesting enough. Here's looking forward to some female head swap possibilities. Also looking forward to some females in close fitted uniforms that don't have Diana Rigg's hair style.
