CDC (Outbreak-style)?
« on: June 15, 2008, 09:29:54 AM »
Does anyone know if there are some minis in bio-protective suits like those worn in Outbreak (and Evolution - the're just white instead) out there somewhere?

(or would some talented sculptor PLEASE make me some  >:D  ?)

I'd need about a dozen or so, but if it was possible to have both 'working' (unarmed) and 'fighting' (armed) versions, I'd probably need more  ;D

And how about civilian paramedics (ambulance crew)? Anyone?
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

I wonder if the Heavy Infantry Closed Helmet Sprue from Pig Iron might be a starting point for some conversions.
I don\'t know whether to be a good example or a horrible warning.

Yeah, I also have thought about using some SST Cap Trooper helmets, but I cannot see myself converting a dozen minis...

This is the paramedic from the Heroclix range, quite a good sculpt.
He that trades Liberty for Security will soon find that he has neither.

What's the headgear on that one...? And Heroclix are a tad too big, aren't they?

She's wearing a baseball cap, 32mm high.
Side view for headgear.

Not quite - I do have the bio-chem squad, but they wear ABC-protective military gear (with gasmask). What I need is those rubber suits with the large box-shaped helmet with glass/plexiglass visor...

Lance and Laser do some in their Bureau 13 range - I think it's a pack of 3 guys in the flat faced biohazard suits.

Yep, and one (female?) has 2 big handguns!
Maybe they would look okay with the GZG hazmat crew (unarmed)?

Not to go back to Heroclix (feh!), but their A.I.M. Trooper figures might supply your needs with an appropriate re-paint (As they wear jumpsuits with a tented, boxed helmet). Just a thought...

Thanks. I must ponder...

But what is 'GZG'?

EDIT: Ground Zero Games, as a quick googling revealed...  ::)

EDIT 2: They also have a paramedic team and some victims.... are they 25 mm as stated (thus a bit smaller than most other figs)?

Ordered various sets from GZG. I'm excited to see how they fit with other 'civilians' I have (mainly Metal Magic/MegaMinis)
