"We want information."

Simon - never heard of those shows, but love your interpretation!

The Deal, single Minis and Heads will go online to purchase this evening. They will be £4 each or £7 for the pair with the head sprue available for £1.50. Each miniature comes unarmed, with a separate weapon hand and head.

Rules for Darius - The Man from 2000 can be found in the main 7TV rulebook, a PDF of rules for The Man From 3000 (bottom pic) will appear shortly. They can also be used as generic agents, industrialists or whatever – you may even have an idea of who you'd like them to represent. Perhaps the Commander of a secret organisation, or an retired spy who refuses to give up his information?

They're a perfect blank canvas for that sort of interpretation.

Exactly.

This.

Lovely PJs, and great generic-looking sculpts (again) by Ian - I'll be after some for my BSG game, with a different paint job, of course.

Stunning work, stone-cold-lead! The first one in particular is ridiculously well done. Any hint on that white suit colours?

It's a very simple set of colours, just very careful layering. Base coat was GW Foundation Dheneb Stone and was highlighted up using white. A little bit of GW Foundation Khemri Brown was added to the base colour for a darker shade around the bottom edge of the jacket. Produces a nice off-white.

those are great and the PJs are fantastic, I was trying to figure out who the man from 2000 the not Striker was suppose not to be. I was think it might have been Derick Flint, but now that's its painted i can see exactly who it is not.

Awesome. When you do the female "techs" are you doing more than one pose? I need a moonbase full of groovy purple-haired chicks.

Doomsdave - Andrew Rae is currently sculpting a female lunar technician to go on a Femdroid head sprue - to obviously fit those bodies. Due out in the Autumn.
