(Commercial) Crooked Dice: Villains 2 - NOW IN STORE
« on: 05 May 2016, 04:12:58 PM »
Here are some previews of the Villains 2 pack sculpted by Ernst. Off for printing today, so likely released in July/August. The pack includes the 7TV 2e archetypes for a Jackbooted Sadist, Insidious Industrialist, Faithful Lackey and Double Agent.

Really nice to see renders of these.

There are a lot of talented 3D sculptors around. However one of the key talents I think the majority of them lack is knowing when to stop. Too often the sculpts are crammed with extraneous detail that adds little to the figure other than painting time.

Simple subjects, executed flawlessly.

Is the middle one George lucas or the guy from CSI? The one on the right looks like sean Bean.

Nice looking mini's but they look a bit short or is that just me? their legs seems a little off.

I would have said Hugo Drax (from Moonraker)

Zenya Onatop the first one, then Drax, Sean Bean as 006 not sure on the last one. The legs on 006 look a bit short though. Great figures all the same.
Ive seen things you people wouldn't believe - Roy Batty.

I think that's just 28mm scale that makes them look short or stunted. I think that's why some people do 'True Scale' stuff.

Btw does this help working out the last character?.....



.....at least, that's my guess anyway!

The legs on 006 look a bit short though.

Often when I see the new renders for Ernst's CD models I think the same but, in the 'flesh', I find they end up looking entirely in proportion (within the bounds of the 'heroic 28mm' bracket).
