Special Lead Adventure Forum Figure

[loki]

Would it not be great to have a unique Lead Aventure Forum Figure
something like Colonel Marble ?

[Operator5]

Who would it be though? The Professor? It would be cool to have a good Rasputin-like figure to grace the banner at the top.

Unique adventure figures are always a great idea.  

[PeteMurray]

Yes! Yes!  ::

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Would love to see an unique forum fig! Nice idea, Loki. And actually it's not really difficult, we just need  some ideas to choice from, a sculptor (there are lots of good fig makers out there) and some money to pay the sculptor and the mould maker.

Some ideas were a good start. Let's hear and i'm going to ask some sculptor guys.

[Conquest]

My opinions is it should be none other than Prof. Witchheimer, Adventurer extraordinaire! (And that would be his name) he would be relatively young, ala Brandon Frazier or young Indiana.

He should be in a useful pose, not too much action but not just standing either. He would have all of the equipment neccesary for an adventure, so he would be armed of course, but have a backpack with shovel, maps, antiquities spilling out, a rope at his belt and other equipment besides.

Now, excuse my ignorance, but I'm assuming Prof. Witchheimer isn't an existing character other than Alexs namesake, so if that's the case, it could be a fun project and would give Alex the notarioty and thanks he deserves. The miniature should be sculpted by Copplestone, Mike Owen, Bob Murch, or dare I say it, Todd Harris (my sculptor). My first choice would be Copplestone though as he manages to get good character and good anatomy and I like his stuff, but that's just my opinion.

I'm an accomplished illustrator and would be glad to do some sketches for people to look at and accept or reject.

[Conquest]

Forgot to mention, he could have rules written for him by Rattrap as well...

I'd do a special Lead Adventure download of the Professor. Only available with the figure purchase.

 

[W.B.Kurgan]

Oh man! I want this figure and it doesn't even exist yet! I normally wait for the greens, at least  ::

Not Brandon Frazier or young Indiana though - there are already too many of them!  I agree he should be a Pulp hero with all that equipment, but he needs to have that big black beard!



Of course this means the Prof will never be able to change his avatar again (unless its to his painted mini...)!

Oh yes, my vote goes to Mike Owen as the sculptor!

[Westfalia Chris]

I´d LOVE to buy a reasonably-priced Rasputin mini... just hope that Mr. Pratt´s heirs don´t shoot us down during the ascent.

[Grimm]

I will have these figure and it must be a mix of raspotin and Indianer Jones lall is right what ``Conquest`` say .

And I will run a campaign for Alex with he play himself !!!!!!

I think the mini should look like India Jones with a large paint brush in stabbing mode in one hand and in the other hand a game ruler. :roll:


My idea was also to paint such a figure gold/silver/copper put it on a consol
and here we go -have a trophy/cup for best painted/best game and so on.

I would like to have Lead Adventure Forum Trophys at our next Lead Adventure
Forum Gathering.

I might convert my convention in September to a Lead Adventure Forum
Gathering. With a special adventure "dark room". ::

We have the big airport of Hamburg only 40 car minute away and cheap
accomdation.
But this is just an other idea for the near future  :wink:

Here is a quick concept sketch of the professor. This is based off of my original statement above as well as the few who suggested he look like Raspy.

The scan sucks as I used my old scanner instead of the good one. I made it big so you can see the details, which I didn't draw dark enough.

The details in the back pack were just ideas to give him a sense of adventure throughout the world and beyond.



What do you think?

[Zoogla]

WHAT THE HECK!?! I WANT HIM, I NEED HIM, NOW, FAST.
If you can sculpt half as good as you draw....go at it!! ;-)

What do you think?

Jawohl!
