Need suggestions for Bill and Teds project - WIP pics added
« on: 11 November 2008, 06:26:22 AM »
Hello!  I've been toying with a project in the back of my mind for a while now, and its time to start looking for models. I am a huge fan of the Bill and Teds movies and would like to start assembling some models in 28mm. I need a telephone booth ( a non glasweigan police box booth), a Bill, a Ted, a Rufus and a few of the historical figures - Napoleon and Lincoln are already taken care of thanks to Black Tree. I have ideas for Bill and Ted, but if there are any other suggestions, please pass them on.

We discussed this Rufus-a-like on another thread recently:



RAFM Modern Day Heroes - Sydney Greenspan

If you want a long coat for him as well, you could swap heads with Heresy's Dr Hugh:

Hasslefree's not-Shaggy might do for one of your slacker leads as well:

Other than that, I'm out of ideas at present. Looking forward to how this turns out, though. Great idea.  :)

Thanks guys! Matakishi, I've ordered the phone booths! Perfect! And a few othere things that I've been wanting from Black Cat but haven't had the inclination to get, until now. Damn those Aliens in humourous situations!

The Rufus conversion is a great idea. I actually have both of those figures in my lead pile. Not as keen on the shaggy, but a great suggestion none the less.

Please post pictures of this when you are done! :o
And rules for us to download!

What a brilliant idea. Not sure what the aim of it all will be, do explain!  :)

I thought that I would use them for the free online Doctor Who miniatures rules. It seems like a natural for guys who travel through time in a phone booth. :)

True!
I think those are the rules our club uses (abingdon wargames club, UK). Very good rules.  ;)

Bill and Ted?

Excellent!

I'd also like to see pics of your game once it's done  :)

STATION!!!!

Now don't forget their van too, and then you'll need...

Socrates                       (any greek period range)
Billy the kid                    (Artizan cowboy range)
Ghengis Khaan                (Erm.... Ebob miniatures)
The Short French dude    (Not sure who does one dismounted).
Noah's wife                    (Hasslefree's paladin)
Beefoven                       (some wigged flop again not sure who Foundry maybe)
Siggy                            (One of the artizan professors)
Abe Lincoln                    (Sure soneone has done one??)

And then of course you'll head into Bogus Journey...

;)

Now water can flow....or water can crash...be water my friend.

Fantastic CV! I totally forgot about the Hasslefree Paladin, and the other suggestions are gold. As for th short Dead French Dude and Abe Lincoln, Blacktree has both in their Doctor Who range. I guess the first Doctor met them both when Who was an educational show.

Hmmm.... The Nero would be perfect with a head swap for Socrates

On the Bill and Ted front, massive ammounts of putty and about 6 heroclix figs have tragically given their lives so that Bill and Ted can live, until I can find something better. Still in progress though. I also have the perfect Rufus. Just waiting on the phone booth.

I know its been a while, but here are the main figs:

Bill and Ted:



Rufus:



I'm pleased with how they look but still need to finish painting them. Unfortunately they are much bigger than the Black Tree Abe Lincon and Napoleon.
