Title: Painted: Crooked Dice Agents and Villains
Post by: uti long smile on 04 December 2011, 11:16:09 AM

Thought I'd share some wonderful PJs of some of our Agents and Villains as painted by Mr Kev Dallimore. These were to accompany a battle report for an upcoming magazine article.

BSS Agent Kitty Stroker
I wanted some variety in the forces, so I introduced BSS Agent Katherine 'Kitty Stroker' and asked Ian Mountain to do a quick conversion of our Pandora King miniature, adding a tank, belt and mask (I decided against the fins). I'm delighted with the results!

Lancelot Cray
This insidious industrialist features in the 7TV rulebook as head of the unscrupulous United Radionics. It's our Man from 2000 body and suave spy head from our Flamboyant Agent Head sprue.

Dr Hugo Solomon
Kev used the The Man from 3000 body and the groovy head from the Flamboyant Agent head sprue for this version of 7TV's super-psychedelic spy - Dr Hugo Solomon.

It's the quality of the painting, the slow trickle of excellent figures, the inspired conversions of the same and others, which prompted me to buy the rules; giving me yet another setting to obsess about. Thanks for nothing Crooked Dice!  ;)

Top class paintjobs on top class figures, lovely.

Hugo Solomon has a little bit of Dr Zarkov going on (no bad thing of course).

Spectacular paint jobs on all. I am constantly impressed with the miniatures Crooked Dice comes out with. Now that I've seen these great conversions I feel the need to pick up at least two of every one. This is all part of your plan, isn't it?

Thanks for the kind comments and anyone who has picked up our stuff :)

I think the battle report will be in the WSS Spy special due out later this year.

Fantastic figures!! Grrrrrrrreeeeaatt paint jobs!!.....and amazing service from your company!! I order stuff for my brothers christmas at noon on Friday and received the package in the post at ten the next morning! :o Dr Who couldn't have brought them any quicker in the Tardis  himself!! BTW I also bought the doctor Tweedy and his lovely assistant for myself and your website photos don't do the sculpts any justice. I'll say again, great figures!

Need one of her swimming, both with, and without a speargun, but definitely with fins.

Marginally off topic, but a friend just sent me a link to this and I all I could think about was 7TV.  There is a little bit of "The Menagerie" in there too.

Nice minis and PJ's all round. I would have gone barefeet on kitty and had a set of fins strapped to her belt, but it works none the less.

So would I, but this was a quick conversion on a production casting so didn't want to give Ian Mountain too much grief :)

Thanks for the kind comments everyone!
