Title: Crooked Dice: Time Lift Commander, Accessories and more heads
Post by: uti long smile on April 30, 2012, 01:10:33 PM: Lots of bits and bobs this month!

We've a new Time Lift Security Commander and two TLS accessory sprues to outfit your agents in the latest fab gear. These include one Jet pack and scanner hand sprue and one Advanced Rifle and Helmet sprue. All sculpted by Ian Mountain.

And here's a couple of WIP shots that Ian took to show the fit of the head and Jetpack to our existing TLS Rifleman body. I think that will work rather nicely on our Astronauts too!

And due to popular demand, we've finally put three hard-hats and all the TLS heads on their own tabs.

Off for casting today, so hopefully out by the middle of the month.

Are you down on the list for traders at cannonade next weekend? I may have to buy some more stuff.
Not got a clue what I am going to use them for but they are so nice I can't resist :D

I won't be there but m'northern colleague Mr Graeme Dawson (and lovely wife Alice) will be on the stand.

I'm afraid these won't be ready for the show though.

Post by: Arlequín on May 01, 2012, 12:41:42 AM: I feel like a real ingrate as there's so much already on offer... but some plain ordinary US M1 helmet heads (like the henchmen hard hat heads), would be gratefully welcomed.

:)

They're not up to Crooked Dice standards, But West Wind has some:

and there's the rub... I generally like to buy heads etc from where I get the figures. There's no worrying then about whether they are compatible. I noticed a helmet in a previous CD pack (with sunglasses), but some ordinary ones for the extras would be groovy. No rush though...
