In the last couple of weeks I was having a gander at a manufacturers website and came across some 28mm figures that will easily pass as Federation troops. Thought I'd saved the link but alas no. I'll try and retrace my footsteps when I get the chance but anyone got any ideas?
Thanks.

Thanks - now I have to start another project - where can I find a decent crochet hook? lol

Glad you found them - brings back many a happy memory - esp of a certain lady in leather :o

You know most of the ladies sported leather at one time or another - strange how some things stick in your mind more than others...
The closest I ever found where the 15mm figures from Old Crow (http://www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk/15figs.htm) but they needed a fair amount of work on the visors and only the first pack seem suitable.

Hi
Cant wait to you find a Servelan fig ;D
-
Used to work with a guy that the lads called Orac, behind his back of course, he was a right know it all!
-
That show had the weirdest end, ever!
-
That show had the best end, ever!
fixed that for you... class way to end a series... the bad guys win...
-
As for a Servalan figure - the closest I could get to her would be a Roman civilian female in a light toga though no way could I do justice to the stern face.
For more info can I point you to http://blakes7.wikia.com/wiki/Servalan (http://blakes7.wikia.com/wiki/Servalan)

Loved that show when I was a kid.
Are you going to build the Liberator ship?
-

They didn't even win.... the spaceship just randomly self-destructed.....
-
are you sure you saw the end of the series? everyone got slaughtered in a Federation ambush, lingering shot on Avon surrounded by troops, fade to black, sounds of gunfire...
-

that sound more like the end of the third series when the Liberator was infected by 'space goo' and blew up!
Cool series - even with the wobbley sets!
-
You mean, there was actually more than one?
The one they showed on Danish television back in the 80's was the one starting with Blake suffering from amnesia, some freedom fighters then convince him that he is in fact the leader of the rebels, they flee, and somehow find this alien spaceship, that, after some time, suddenly tell them that it is going to self-destruct, and then does.... boom, end of story.
I was convinced that this was because the show did not have a large enough audience, and that it was just a way to terminate the show for good.
I think the series was actually called 'Terminate Blake's 7', come to think of it....
EDIT: Or 'Eliminate...'

Yep, out of toothpaste lids and a marble.

Servalan was a friend of my neighbour when I was a kid. She used to come and visit. Those gasmask blokes never came with her, though.

weird... almost sounds like the first episode of series 1 when they find the Liberator abandoned in space... but the ship exploding is the end of series 3 as has been said...
there were 4 series all told... the end:

So when's Crooked Dice going to give us a set of Fake's Seven minis :)
-
good call... I'll start badgering Graeme and Karl... feel free to dive in at the CD forum...
-
Oh Boy. I need me some miniatures now.
I showed the last episode of Blake's 7 to my best friend years ago, and he wouldn't talk to me for a week. This was after getting him hooked on the show with some of the best episodes from forth season. Oops, I meant series. He talks to me now, and Blake's 7 is one of his favorite television shows.

Not Servalan... um...
I suspect Crooked Dice North will need little convincing :)

At the end of series 1, the Liberator crew see a supposedly infallible prediction in which what appears to be the Liberator blows up (it's a cheat). At the end of series 2, the Liberator is shot up by vast numbers of spaceships from Andromeda (it recovers). At the end of series 3, the Liberator gets destroyed for real. At the end of series 4, just before all our heroes are shot down, their replacement spaceship, the Scorpio is destroyed.
Small wonder that Terry Wogan started a "Buy a spaceship for Blakes 7" appeal (but I had already given all I had to "Buy a brick for Petrocelli").

lol
was it series 2 that was supposed to end with a Dalek invasion fleet?

That was the rumour. As it was, the Andromedan fleet required so many models that this was the occasion when the BBC famously resorted to sticking two hairdryers together for one of them. Though, to tell the truth, I've never understood why they didn't just build one spaceship and make a mould.
