I'm a bugger for names LoL!

I've searched and searched the Internet - and so far there is no "The Defender" only "The Defenders" - the part-time Marvel Super-Team.

I'm hoping to eventually do "The Black Fox" which my mate Mike Perkins (who draws the X-Men currently) drew for me YEARS ago!



My other desire is to do a Victoriana/Superhero Crossover (I know, I know - I'm fudged in the head LoL)

Van, I don't think you are fudged at all!  This seems just the place to find kindred spirits.  I see VSF as super heroes set during the Vicitorian times.  Many of the the powers are gadgets, but you still have invisibility, super strength, super intelligence, all the hallmarks of a great super adventure.  Flight seems to be one of the missing ingredients that is common in modern supers.  But you can't beat Victorian style!

I've even had a sculptor contact me with some interest in working on something similar but two things stopped us.  1) A language barrier, so it was hard to nail down specifics.  2) I have great enthusiasm but I'm still working on getting my first models to the market, so I can't put the cart before the horse.  I have to concentrate on doing a good job on my first release and making sure I can make people happy in a sustainable way.  I've already got my second release planned, but it all depends on sales of the first release.  Fingers crossed.

Hei Van,

Victorian Supers sound good to me, keep working on that.
For inspiration have a look here

I by myself have some Pulp Supers going on, as one of my many projects ;)

My friend ran a Victorian Wild Cards RPG campaign for a while.

I also did the layout work on Agents of the Crown rulebook for Chaosium - an RPG covering this kinda thing too.

Yeah, I've been trying to capture it in a photo, but my photography skills just aren't up to it.  He looks bigger, but not as big as he really is.  He must mass more than 2 1/2 times a regular 28mm figure.  It's great, but unfortunately he'll cost a bit more.  (I don't know how much yet)
