Modern TV/News crew
« on: November 23, 2011, 06:33:41 AM »
Hi all,

I've been on the prowl for some TV/News crews. Looking for a contemporary setting, foreign correspondant types.

So far, I've found a couple of useful figures from EM-4, TAG, and Copplestone Castings (Future Wars, at a bit of a stretch).

Are there any more about?

Cheers!

There was a set that came out in the Frothers' Zombis sculpting competition.  They are no longer available from Frothers, but somebody might have picked them up.

Thanks guys. Hey, those Frothers ones are exactly what I'm after! Does anyone have a size comparison with Eureka/Empress Moderns?

No photo, but i'd say they would be fine with Empress, Euerka, Hasslefree etc -i've got a couple of sets, and they are lovely minis.

If you want some, I would recommend contacting the sculptor, Andrew Rae, as I haven't heard that he has sold them onto anyone else.

I need one of those. Looks a lot like Edison Carter from Max Headroom to me.
