Anybody think of the Grand Fenwickian invasion force comprised of Tully Bascombe, 3 men-at-arms, and 20 longbowmen?  With the strategic element of Dr. Kokintz and the Q-bomb.
For further info, see "the Mouse That Roared" by Leonard Wibberly.
Ok, tell me just one more time: _Where_ am i going, and _Why_  am I in this handbasket?

I'd like to see that classic 1950's monster, the Blob.

Making your own Blob is a good way of stopping excess putty going to waste.  I put this one together from leftovers over the course of several months.


Back from the dead, almost.

You know, what I'd like to see are some Dr. Strangelove-themed miniatures for AC57: General Jack D. Ripper, Group Captain Mandrake, Colonel "Bat" Guano, Major Kong, General Buck Turgidson and of course, Dr. Strangelove himself...!

Your Blob is excellent and is exactly what I was picturing in my mind.  And it fits into the whole atomic 1950's theme perfectly.  What a great use of leftover putty.  Now we just need some stats for the creature and we're good to go. 

And I agree, nice touch with the hand.  lol

I had a horrible/wonderful thought:
A mad scientist (Frank), his butler Riff and maid Magenta, a Brute Biker named Eddie, two innocent (well, kinda) young people (Brad and Janet), a wheelchair-bound investigator (Dr Von Scott) and a horde of very odd hangers-on. 

Oh, yes-- and a rather handsome muscular chap named Rocky--no, not Sylvester Stallone! :D

Just remembered a truly timely and appropriate bunch of explorers--Captain and crew of the USS Scorpion from On the Beach, published in 1957.  The shore party might be equipped with radiation suits and O2 tanks.

Triffids, anyone?

Ambulatory poison-stingered plants (from space or radiation-induced mutation, as you wish) seek to take over the ravaged Earth!

"The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!"
And while the film was made in the Sixties, I am sure that in 1957 the crew of a crippled Soviet submarine might find itself in enemy territory and need to scavenge enough supplies and spare parts to make their vessel seaworthy again to get back to the Motherland.
My favorite scene in the film has Brian Keith as the town sheriff facing down the heavily-armed Russian crew in the town square by writing parking tickets because the submarine is moored illegally!

I could use a set of downed jet pilots with those .22 cal. survival rifles. Most in standard 50s pilot kit, but at least one in that special G suit from the '50s.
@WallShadow Triffids are available from Wargames Supply Dump http://www.wargamessupplydump.co.uk/mis_minis.htm  Look for carnivorous plant, it comes with petals folded and with petals in bloom with striker out.
