Carrying on with my B7 cast, here are those brave freedom fighter / rebel scum, the crew of the Liberator.

Original Liberator crew in their 'away team' outfits, all Crooked Dice (Beast in the Broch) castings.

Very nice work.  Your weapon and holster modifications really add to the look.  I will have to at least attempt to do the same.

I'm browsing websites for suitable civilians and opposition at the moment. I think I've found suitable figures that will go with the game concept I have in mind. Needless to say, everything will be styled B7 and Dr Who sets and costumes from the late 70s and early 80s - except that the sets will be more sturdy  lol

The Space 1999 Crooked Dice figures might fit in well.  Some Hasslefree 'modern' figures could fit in as well. What other lines are you looking at?

Shame. The concept cries out for cardboard scenery. ;)

Now that I've got the core Federation and rebel figures painted, I need to think about terrain. Inspired by the locations used in the series, I'm going for:

1 - a cliff face overlooking a game table strewn with rocks and bits of industrial kit, suitable for an entrance to a mine an underground facility
2 - a corridor system, suitable for a space station or tech/security facility

Starting with the cliff face, the inspiration is Winspit Quarry in Dorset:


Replicating this location is rather appropriate, as it was used for a B7 episode (also three Doctor Who stories):



As the basis for this build, I'm going to use a damaged moulded aquarium backing sheet, that I got cheap from my local aquarium shop:



Now to start cutting the sheet to size ...

Cool.

I might consider that for a base interior/space station set. But than again, I might do something else  lol
