Artizan/Copplestone announce joint range

[Poliorketes]

I guess it's time for a .45 sixties version, isn't it?

[Captain Blood]

I hope there are some boiler-suited villains in hard-hats toting grease-gun submachine guns...  :wink:

Then I'll have an excuse to build a 28mm scale oil rig-cum-villain's lair.

It explains why there have been precious few new releases from Copplestone in the last 6 months - clearly he's been busy with this project...

Can't wait to see them

KISS KISS BANG BANG

We`ll also have the first figures in our new joint Copplestone/Artizan 1960`s spies and secret agents range. Full packs won`t be available but we`ll have at least 16 character models on sale as singles - half by me and half sculpted by Mike Owen. Typically I`ve started at the wackier end of the range with some Carry On lookalikes- Mike`s been more sensible, I think..

Carry what ? :wink:

It is a UK tv-series with little appeal outside of that country. Have a gander at the avatars of many of the Brit co-adventureres and you'll see a few of the characters.

ok that destroy all my plans for miniatures these year I MUST HAVE THEM ALL  :roll:

Like you said :

;-) I'd just had to see who'd bite.

I'm not really good at english writing, but at least, I can read it  :mrgreen:

Don't you notice my wink ? In fact, I didn't know how to say queekly that this news should drive mad all the Carry On fans here...

But thank you very much for your consideration

I can have a lead Barbara Windsor avatar! Woo-hoo!  :love:

Where have you been? http://blackhat.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1348

We used 007 as a minor theme for the Overlord 2007 show, as Casino Royale came out around the same time.
I wanted to do a participation game on the Bond theme, but as usual just didnt have the time.


I was going to convert some Copplestone suits to secret agent types and paint up a bunch of his 'Babes with guns' etc. http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/range.php?range=FW
All of it was just an excuse to go overboard and build a villainous secret base.  :mrgreen:

Now maybe I will, without having to do any conversions.  

Hopefully the new miniatures will be more 'Artizan-sized' than the more recent Copplestones.

That way the Geezers range from Killer B Games  http://www.killerbgames.com/geezersshutit.html can be used with them and vice versa.


Do you expect me to look at the new miniatures at Salute?
No Mr Bond, I expect you to buy!   ::

Is Grimm the new Bond villain!?  If so, who is his loyal sidekick?  :mrgreen:

Hmmm... Yes, they are indeed boiler-suited villains in hard hats.

Now, how to put this nicely?
 
I'm hopeful that Copplestone / Owen versions might be a bit more - erm...

Well let's just say some 28mm figures are about as stylish as Bond Bugs, whilst others are Aston-Martin DB5s  :wink:

[uti long smile]

Can't wait for these.

I agree entirely. I was just pointing out availability.
