From PaulS - Pulp and horror model selection (35 Points)

Due to one thing and another, I missed last week's deadline, so you get a few more bits this week. With the first batch of tentacles you saw being based upon Purple Tentacle, it was time for some Green Tentacles. We've only got one green/yellow combination as it didn't really work that well. Still.. you have to have one right?


Besides the tentacles, I've also started a little 7TV cast based on the tv series Life on Mars, with some fantastic police from Crooked Dice. I've got some detectives and a police woman still to paint up.


To go with these, I also picked up some of the Crooked Dice Weeping Angel... Oh no! It looks like the Police have stumbled into an area inhabited by the Weeping Angels (talk about a crossover!) Those coppers better not blink...


Oh dear... we did warn them.


Quickly, keep staring at them and back away slowly. What ever you do, don't blink...


I said DON'T BLINK!


Oh sh...



From Curt:

I'm always a sucker for seeing a new tentacle added to the family. (I know, that could have been better...) I like the Bobbies, especially the one warding off with his baton while reaching for his whistle. Again, the Dr. Who reference goes right over my head, but these Weeping Angels look suitably creepy. I really like the verdigris you've added, but perhaps they could use some pigeon guano as well?  (Hmm, do pigeons blink?)

Fun stuff!

  1. Hmmm yeah, some pigeon droppings would certainly add something to them. I may well add some later ;)

    1. I just realised... there are 12 new models in there, rather than 7 ;)
      6 new tentacles, 3 policemen and 3 weeping angels

  2. Great work! The weathering on the Weeping Angels looks really good.

    1. Blink is definitely one of the best to date. Certainly a lot better than a lot of the last few seasons

  6. 7TV is a very good game and I am sure Life on Mars will work really well in it. Good stuff on the angels. I really like the way you have done the last three pictures as well. So in keeping.

    1. They don't *call* it Life on Mars in the 7TV books, but it's there and works very nicely indeed

  7. Like the idea of Life on Mars meets Weeping Angels. All the figures are great, I really like the Angels though, you've got the colours spot on. Great job.

  9. They all look grand! The bobbies look very good as does the weathering on the weeping angels, but I still like the tentacles! Didn't know I needed them, till I seen them! Now I want some for myself!

  13. Nice entry. You can never have too many tentacles, and the bobbies and angels turned out nice.
