WK's 80's Action Pulp miniatures project (update 08/02)
« on: 03 September 2015, 07:49:59 PM »
These figures were commissioned for my personal collection as 80's style fictional fascist footsoldiers or evil mastermind minions. I will post some pictures of my first painted set in a couple days when the light's better, but here's what the sculpts look like:

Command and specialist set, with two officers, a medic and two rocketlaunchers:



Fascist footsoldiers with rifles:


Fascist footsoldiers with AK47's:


For those who might be interested, here is a picture of the greens for the body dollies:

I'm assuming the officer is facing away from the enemy as the favored command of Cobra is "RETREAT!!!" I like them, haha. Who was the sculptor?

The heads are actually separate from the bodies so can be turned whatever way you want. ;)

Identity of the sculptor withheld to protect the lives of his family.

I like them very much. So two questions come in my mind. Is it possible to see a picture how they compare to empress miniatures and is it possible to order them?

I will see about some size comparisons, though I don't have any Empress miniatures handy.

Can we expect to see some casts of a "Commander" available in the future at all?

Regarding those Shapeways vehicles, I will be using some of them, but also some other sources and do a bike option in resin or metal.

My painting is rusty, haven't had much chance to do anything for some time, but here's the first set in a random evil looking colour... ;)

Another (different) set almost done. A few touchups to the heads and bayonets and adding a chest logo are left to do:
