New Bob Murch goodies

[Sterling Moose]

Nice to see a complete set of figures that I actually like.  There's usually at least one poor figure per set that ends up in the bits box, but not this time!!

 I think Bob Murch is working to achieve a semi-stereotypical look to his figures.  But that just my thought on his female figure faces.

I wouldn't go so far and say Bob is trying to give his female figures some kind of "semi-stereotypical look". My observation was, the most 28mm sculptors are suffering from "the same faces" illness. It seems to be very hard, also for the best of them (Perry, Garrity, Klocke etc.) to do different faces in different ways. Once one has learned making faces, he/she's struggling to find another style. The same for Bob, these faces are just something he's able to do quickly and fairly nice (at least from my point of view). Something else would either probably be too much work or wouldn't work at all.

Though that's just my observation, I also could be wrong.

Agreed. Character figures aside there's  distinct sameness to even the best sculptors faces, be it Hicks, Copplestone, the Perry twins, etc etc.  Not a complaint mind you, merely an observation.

As for Mr Murch's depiction of females faces, I kinda like 'em. Some Like it Hot isn't a bad film after al land one day I might just want to game the Stonewall Riots. If I do, I know where to source the minis.

That would be an interesting game.

They do well, you really can mix them

The scale-o-matic gives some pointers:

Copplestone generally appears to be a bit bigger than the Murch stuff:

thanks for that a big help

I really like Bob's miniatures as a whole, and these later releases (such as the thugees and islanders) do really tickle my imagination

Error is a way of life for me somedays.   

I may be over thinking the face thing.   

Now I need to go back and check the figures of the lines I bought when I bought giant (25+ mm) sized figures to check this out.    

You, sir, are making me think!      

Gracias,

I like Bob's faces -- male and female.  His faces have more character than most other sculptors.
