Title: Some New Greens (a couple of painted examples 25 July)
Post by: Melnibonean on 19 June 2013, 03:00:33 AM: Greetings folks,
After a few setbacks I've managed to get back to some sculpting. These new figures make up two new sets (well one and a half at the moment).

The first is a generic group of space explorers. I know most folks will immediately think Star Trek but there is a reason for that. I initially tried a Space 1999 type costume but it looked thoroughly dull. The short flared pants looked more 60's/70's so I went with these. As for the characters: I decided on a science guy (The pic doesn't show it but he looks very much like Carl Sagan), the guy that always seems to have fist fights, a lady space guy and the shooting guy (I went for the Professor Victor Bergman - Space 1999 -for him).

These next two are the start of a set of spi-fi villains. The debonair, cocktail drinking, evil industrialist type and a tough soul sister wielding a garrote. Net to come is a sporty type villain based on Goldfinger in his dated sporting (golf) attire and I'm not sure yet but maybe Odd Job carrying a golf bag.

THANKS

This are certainly catching my attention.
You are getting rather too good at this.

Between yourself, Crooked Dice and Copplestone, I can see some retro-spy-fi being done sooner rather than later.

Post by: Johnny Aces on 19 June 2013, 04:46:02 PM: I love the amount of Character you are getting into the faces. Maybe once the millions(slightly overexagerated) from my portion of Perilous Island sales rolls in, I can put together an order with you for some of your stuff.

I love that your style married up well with Bob Murch. Very nice indeed.

Post by: Duke Donald on 19 June 2013, 09:32:25 PM: Wow, I really like the two villains!

Post by: Melnibonean on 29 June 2013, 10:19:56 AM: Here are a couple of new figures. I'm almost at the point of getting a whole new bunch moulded and cast.
These two intrepid time travelers were requested by my friend James (aka Hat Guy here on LAF).

Anyway, here they are:

Post by: Duke Donald on 29 June 2013, 06:34:09 PM: I like the girl in particular. There's something a bit creepy about her as she feels clearly to old to carry a teddy-bear.

Post by: Wolf Girl on 30 June 2013, 01:10:27 AM: Awesome! Those are some really nice miniatures you've got going :D
Title: Re: Some New Greens (two new additions 29/6)
Post by: Melnibonean on 12 July 2013, 07:07:19 AM: And here are the final two figures for the time being.
They have all been delivered to Eureka Miniatures today for moulding and casting. So I should have the first casts in my hands by this time next week.

These are based on a couple of very famous spy-fi evil doers but I believe they can also fit into the pulp era.
