V for Visitors

[Penchour]

I'm trying to work on "V" (Visitors : TV series from 80's), yet lack of information on uniforms. Anyone has an idea of where I could find pix, description of grades, military structure and whatsoever ?  
I'm painting my first proxie right now, based on Crooked Dice's Time Lift Security Detachment (picture expected within hours ), but I'll need more consistent data before painting in mass (surely also need a bit of modifications, like shades and helmets, for some ...)

So far, I only collected a dozen of pix, more or less usefull, so I'm picking anything you've got for documentation.

Let me see what I can dig up.  In the meantime ...

Thanx Dan. I can't wait the next bunch of references you'll find

first painted attempt



Not too bad I think. I'll come with a first bunch of troopers wearing caps, but I'm intending to proceed to more 'advanced' transformation in the 2d wave of minis.
Also found a shuttle here :

it's a VTOL sold by Daemonscape, yet license is (was ?) GZG.

I wish I knew how to re-post those photos directly, like you just did, so all can see the pics in those links.

Anyway, I've gotta go to the hospital to see my Mom (87 years old). They might be releasing her today, so I have to be there to take her to her house.

I posted a bunch of stuff on TMP on the "Visitors", but I promise to dig up and post more for you here.

If you highlight the normal link with the 'jpg' at the end (by holding left click and dragging over the link to give it a blue covering) and then click on the framed picture in the tool bar above (second on the left, just above the smilies), you will end up with [img 'YOUR LINK' /img] (there will be square brackets after the first img and before the second as well).  That will post the pic in the thread.

I love the idea, and think using the CD time lift was a great idea that I might have to borrow.  I hope you post this on the CD forum as well.

Any ideas what heads and such you'll use for Vistors showing their true colors, or maybe those with only a little lizard showing through some battle damage.

Cool stuff.

You read my mind So far I didn't come with a valuable idea ... I might use some of that Star Wars bounty hunter head .... can't remember his name, but since that's the one with the lizard head, shouldn't be that difficult to find. If you've any idea, I'll gladly see it

I've got a buddy who is making the squad ships and transports...but in 15mil.  Still, really cool idea! Great show as well. The star baby gave me nightmares for ages!

Bossk:

Yes, that one ! Must have a couple of SWCM somewhere .... I'll check the head and see if it can handle some surgery

@ Uncle Mike : you mean the blondhaired babe or his brother ? ;p

  I remember watching from the top of the stairs and seeing that scaly green little monster!  Man, it frightened me for ages!

Baby wants a kiss !



What I remember was the noise it was making while breathing ... yet unsure I'll need to make a miniature for it

These would make good shocktroopers for the V series:



Interpol from somewhere I can't remember at the moment...

I've got a couple of them from East Riding (just need to find them back ....): http://shop.eastridingminiatures.co.uk/interpol-pack-1969-p.asp

That may be an idea to work on ... I'll let you know
