Title: (Commercial) Crooked Dice Darius, The Man From 2000
Post by: uti long smile on 01 March 2017, 09:15:52 AM
A new release for March. He didn't seem quite the right for the Cold War Conflicts thread, so hope he is a good fit here!

Darius is an enigma, a man truly out of his own time. At times he can recall incidental details from the year 2000, at others he seems to have complete amnesia from his journey through the Time Lift. A profile for Darius will be available in the upcoming Project Time Lift Programme Guide or use the Tomorrow Person profile from the 7TV second edition rules. Available with or without the resin base and a 30mm base.

Sculpted by Ernst Veingart and painted by Chis Cocklin (aka Opponent Theory).

Must... refrain... from... Monty Python jokes...  ;)

Amazing figure, beautiful paint job. That base is genius.

Cheers all. Took a while to get the right concept for the base, but really pleased with the Daliesque look.

I can think of some other uses for that base.  Shame it's not available separately, although I suppose I could justify having a spare "floating guy with a headache" figure or two in the bits box.

Grand - love the design, and the painting sure does it justice!  8) 8) 8)
I think this model is the one which best represents what a migraine headache feels like!

Lovely! I'm really tempted. The base is excellent.

The base is nice, but that figure is lovely. The flared jacket and floating pose are gorgeous. I'd love to replace this head with a bald head and replace the base with a discarded wheelchair.
