Title: CDC (Outbreak-style)?
Post by: Argonor on June 15, 2008, 10:29:54 AM: Does anyone know if there are some minis in bio-protective suits like those worn in Outbreak (and Evolution - the're just white instead) out there somewhere?

(or would some talented sculptor PLEASE make me some >:D ?)

I'd need about a dozen or so, but if it was possible to have both 'working' (unarmed) and 'fighting' (armed) versions, I'd probably need more ;D

And how about civilian paramedics (ambulance crew)? Anyone?

Yeah, I also have thought about using some SST Cap Trooper helmets, but I cannot see myself converting a dozen minis...

What's the headgear on that one...? And Heroclix are a tad too big, aren't they?

Side view for headgear.

Not quite - I do have the bio-chem squad, but they wear ABC-protective military gear (with gasmask). What I need is those rubber suits with the large box-shaped helmet with glass/plexiglass visor...

Post by: Earther on July 02, 2008, 10:19:31 AM: Lance and Laser do some in their Bureau 13 range - I think it's a pack of 3 guys in the flat faced biohazard suits.

Yep, and one (female?) has 2 big handguns!
Maybe they would look okay with the GZG hazmat crew (unarmed)?

Post by: Heldrak on July 02, 2008, 11:24:49 AM: Not to go back to Heroclix (feh!), but their A.I.M. Trooper figures might supply your needs with an appropriate re-paint (As they wear jumpsuits with a tented, boxed helmet). Just a thought...

Post by: Argonor on July 02, 2008, 12:01:46 PM: Thanks. I must ponder...

But what is 'GZG'?

EDIT: Ground Zero Games, as a quick googling revealed... ::)

EDIT 2: They also have a paramedic team and some victims.... are they 25 mm as stated (thus a bit smaller than most other figs)?

Post by: Argonor on July 02, 2008, 03:54:39 PM: Ordered various sets from GZG. I'm excited to see how they fit with other 'civilians' I have (mainly Metal Magic/MegaMinis)
