Title: Dr Ulysses Argo
Post by: Andym on June 03, 2013, 09:12:16 PM: I'm not planning on starting a Dr Argo cast, but I just love the model! I tried OSL, but I don't think it quite worked! :'(

Post by: Ballardian on June 04, 2013, 04:47:55 PM: I think you pulled it off excellently, it's all too easy to make OSL look a scrappy mess, but by keeping it subtle it looks 'real', great job!

Glad I am not the only one.
I have the model and cannot place him.
He is joining my Mad Asylum soon.

Until someone tells me otherwise, I shall refer to him as Dr Ned Flanders.

Post by: uti long smile on June 04, 2013, 10:39:41 PM: He's an original creation for 7TV, but very much inspired by actor Phillip Madoc portrayal of mad scientist Solon in the classic Doctor Who story 'The Brain of Morbius' - a Frankenstein homage.

Post by: Mason on June 04, 2013, 10:43:33 PM: Thank you, sir!

It has puzzled me for a while, ever since I got him, in fact.

I thought that all 7TV stuff was based on retro tv series characters.
Obviously not.

Post by: Andym on June 23, 2013, 05:41:36 PM: Someone on the Crooked Dice Forum suggested my wee painted figure looked like Gary Oldman, so I dusted off my pencils after a 6 year break. I don't know if this belongs here,but...

Post by: Mason on June 23, 2013, 05:50:00 PM: Bloody hell, mate!

Now you are well and truly giving me the hump.
If I 'dusted off my pencils' I wouldnt get that result, thats for sure!
>:(

On a more serious note: Bloody wonderful, mate!
:-* :-* :-*

(It has been more than six years since I last drew anything, though....a lot more!)

My brother and myself bought a bundle of robots at the weekend to act as earlier versions of the Argonauts. This ones supposed to represent the MkII....

Post by: Andym on August 07, 2013, 07:32:08 PM: Is it big enough?
Title: Re: Dr Ulysses Argo
Post by: Mason on August 07, 2013, 07:40:59 PM: Cracking paintjob, Andy.

I have some of the other Hydra robots and they are cracking sculpts.

I do not have this one, but you are twisting my arm with that paintwork.
How tall is it?
I am worried it may be too big for my purposes.
Title: Re: Dr Ulysses Argo
Post by: Elk101 on August 07, 2013, 07:48:12 PM: They are well smart! The paint job captures the retro feel nicely.
