Dirty Pair (and Crusher Joe) New Pictures 11/12/11

Where are the Navy crew in berets from? They look familiar, but I can't place them.

They are from Sergeant Major Miniatures' pulp line - the Security Guards pack.

Thank you for that!

I had looked at SGMM's site, but there are quite a few packs there with no pictures.
And they're in the 28mm Pulp section…

Consider me enlightened.

Now, let's see some more stuff for this very, very cool project.

Next step Slayers?

Waaa-haaaa-haaaa-haaaaaa...ouch, I stabbed myself on the spike on my shoulder armor again!

LOL! I love that show.

Slayers – that’s an interesting idea. I hadn’t really looked into it before, but there’s no reason that it couldn’t be done. The main characters would probably be a rather involved conversion because the anime/manga high fantasy look is so stylized, but once you get two or three characters done the rest of what you need for a game would be off-the-shelf figures and terrain. Maybe I’ll keep my eyes open for figures to convert into Lina and Gourry….

Unless I get back to working on my Ghost in the Shell, Armored Hunter Mellowlink and/or Mospeada projects first.

On the Dirty Pair/Crusher Joe front, I spent my painting time over the weekend playing with green stuff, files and razor blades, and now have Joe, Alfin and Ricky ready for priming and painting. Talos is, sadly, still undergoing surgery, but should be ready for painting later this week.

I've had a few delays thanks to the intervention of Real Life, but I finally managed to finish the first of the Crusher teams from Crusher Joe. Below we have the crew of the Minerva; Ricky (engineer), Talos (pilot), Joe (team leader) and Alfin (navigator).



And from behind;



I also put the finishing touches on a generic light attack aircraft, small enough for use on the tabletop. The aircraft itself is a scratch build, based upon a model from the SF3D kit series;





Enjoy!

This is a fantastic project.  I know next to nothing about the anime(s) involved but the whole thing is brilliant, with the lab and in particular the air cars my favourites.

If you ever feel like selling on copies of the RP-ed cars then let me know

If you could point me in the direction of somewhere that sells similar sci-fi vehicle kits or gashapon or whatever then I would be grateful.  They would be ideal for a Judge Dredd setting.


Inspiring stuff

Are the tanks the nekkid girls in scratch built or were they purchased?

Are the tanks the nekkid girls in scratch built or were they purchased?

They were purchased. Rafm makes them and they are available in three versions; empty tubes, tubes with nekkid women, and tubes with brains.

    That response made my week! THANX for the uplift in spirits dude!

Well, it has been a while since I posted anything about this project's progress, but I ran the game last weekend at Rock-Con, our local convention, and thought I'd post some pictures of the ensuing chaos. I ended up with four players and split them into three teams; two playing the Dirty Pair, one running a team of generic Crushers, and one running a Corporate special ops team.

A shuttle crash in a city park



The corporate Bioweapons lab



Kei deals with a aerial gun drone....



...and has a disagreement with the local police (and no, she didn't blow up their car, the drone did it).



An Ostall drone threatens the Crusher and Corporate teams while a civilian photographer looks on.



And Yuri moves up to help.



With unfortunate consequences for the photographer...



A local news crew arrives to record the devastation while bystanders flee for their lives.



Having found the right clues in scene one, the Lovely Angels infiltrate the Bioweapons lab in search of a kidnapped scientist.



As does the corporate ops team, who sneak into their rival's facility.



The Crushers have to resort to coming up the elevator, not having found any clues....



Kei finds the scientist, but he won't leave without his girlfriend....



The Corporate team cracks the computer system,



and the Crusher attract attention



Kei takes out a guard in powered armor, but a stray shot results in a compressed gas explosion that leaves the next lab hanging of the side of the research arcology.




Yuri, the Crushers and the Corporate Ops team deal with the guards



While Kei rescues the scientist's girlfriend




And they make their escape



It wasn't their fault that the bioweapons lab went tumbling down the side of the arcology....



The game played really well and everyone had a good time.

Kei deals with a aerial gun drone....

Is that Ian Kim's Emiko on that poster?

[Steve F]

Very nice set up.  I love all the clean edges and bright colours.  It's easy to make things look plausible by dirtying them up, and much harder this way, but you've succeeded.

The Fruity Oaty Bar poster was borrowed with extreme predjudice from a Serenity/Firefly fan site, so I'm not sure of the artwork's origin.

A really cool setup.
Love everything about your project.
Thanks for sharing.
