Dr Ulysses Argo
« on: 03 June 2013, 09:12:16 PM »
I'm not planning on starting a Dr Argo cast, but I just love the model! I tried OSL, but I don't think it quite worked! :'(

I think you pulled it off excellently, it's all too easy to make OSL look a scrappy mess, but by keeping it subtle it looks 'real', great job!

Glad I am not the only one.
I have the model and cannot place him.
He is joining my Mad Asylum soon.

Until someone tells me otherwise, I shall refer to him as Dr Ned Flanders.

He's an original creation for 7TV, but very much inspired by actor Phillip Madoc portrayal of mad scientist Solon in the classic Doctor Who story 'The Brain of Morbius' - a Frankenstein homage.

Thank you, sir!

It has puzzled me for a while, ever since I got him, in fact.

I thought that all 7TV stuff was based on retro tv series characters.
Obviously not.

Someone on the Crooked Dice Forum suggested my wee painted figure looked like Gary Oldman, so I dusted off my pencils after a 6 year break. I don't know if this belongs here,but...

Bloody hell, mate!

Now you are well and truly giving me the hump.
If I 'dusted off my pencils' I wouldnt get that result, thats for sure!

On a more serious note: Bloody wonderful, mate!
