A couple of steampunk sculpts (Dental Practitioners now ready)

[Patrice]

Excellent  he would do well in a Back of Beyond game as a main target for Bolshevik troops : the hydra leader of the capitalists!

Do you think the top Hat might look a touch better if it was a little taller?

And here is Nursie (Nurse Rictus, will be her name). She has a beautiful smile full of "British Teeth". She and the Dentist above go together as a set when they're cast. The bottle is supposed to be aether (could be spirits of laudnum I suppose!) 

And a close up of that big smile. The pics don't really capture it; but her face looks like a demented Christopher Walken in drag.

Why am I thinking of all those original 'Fright Night' posters?

Do you think the top Hat might look a touch better if it was a little taller?

I thought a bit the same, though I'm not sure if I'm thinking a little too rigidly late Victorian, and this might be a bit earlier, I am not a fashionista, by a long shot.

Anyway, he said the hat was a target of opportunity. ;->=

Well, the rest of his dress tends more towards late victorian/edwardian. The shorter hat seems more sort of John Bull caricature mid century.

Superb set of sculpts! Are they for home or sale?

They have been moulded and cast and I just picked up them up today!
As soon as I get them painted and the pics done they'll be available at: www.fiendishfabrications.com.au
(A few days at the most).

Getting VERY interested in some of your sculpts.
Well, quite a few to be honest.

Old Lord Herbert is almost irresistible..........

Who is your UK supplier that you mentioned in another post?

[Melnibonean]

Greetings Folks. I'd like to let ya'll know that Sir Herbert Sogoth-Smythe is now available at: www.finishfabrications.com.au
His little sidekick is Yoggy - Sir Herberst's lovable pet faithful companion.

The Dr and nurse are next and should be released soon.

[Chairface]

I LOVE the paint job!

Did everyone know to what I was referring earlier? I was barely aware of the movie at the time, but I know it has quite a following. Many of whom were disappointed by the remake. ;->=



Don't you admire a lass who enjoys her work?

I can't speak for others but I knew what you were talking about. Frightnight was one of my favorite 80's horror movies. I can't say it still is because I haven't seen it for many years and I still have bad memories from re-watching Highlander again a couple of years ago.

I think I'd rather let Frightnight remain as a memory of a good movie that I enjoyed (not like Highlander where I had to do some deep soul searching and ask the question: "How did I manage to watch this movie multiple time and think it was good?").

Are those sculpted bases integral or a separate piece? (And the same question applies about the rest of the range?)

Now, the question, and one that's somewhat on topic, is the perky nurse a conscious or unconscious homage? 

I think I'd rather let Frightnight remain as a memory of a good movie that I enjoyed (not like Highlander where I had to do some deep soul searching and ask the question: "How did I manage to watch this movie multiple time and think it was good?").

I can still enjoy Highlander, perhaps, as I didn't put it on so high a pedestal to begin with. Of course, I thought even less of the sequel, and there's still no joy watching it. 

What's REALLY worrisome are some of the things I've come to enjoy, and I'm not so sure 'maturity' as opposed to old age is the reason. As a youngling, I despised my father's love of the Perry Mason series, where as I've grown fond of it. As for my sudden appreciation of Joan Hickson's Miss Marple, no clue at all. 

Next thing you know, I'll be tuning into the Lawrence Welk re-runs on the public telly. *shudder*

Some of the bases are integral. On the Fiendish Fabrications web site the ones that have bases like these (just the base as you see it - no outter/lower base edge). These bases fit right onto a 25mm bevelled base or insert perfectly into a 30mm round shoulder base.
Many of the older sculpts are being re-sculpted / re-moulded with a base like these newer figures.

Mr Beast... You nees to take some youth pills (Lawrence Welk  ).
Also she isn't a homage. She's just a psycho nurse with BDS (British Dental Syndrome). Her name is actually a play on Nurse Ratchet from One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.
