TomL, Traveling to Paradise (55 points)

It is time to enter Paradise at the First Sphere: The Inconstant. Leading us here is another Pulp Figures miniature from his Femme Fatales set.

Looking at my pile of potential I realized I had one group of figures who gave it their all, working for the betterment of others in spite of their past history but just couldn’t win in the end.

Blakes 7 was a show I came to years late and first watched on YouTube - boy would 1978 me have loved this show!  These figures are with Beast in the Broch miniatures (formerly associated with Crooked Dice).  All models were painted using TTC, Foundry and GW acrylics & washes.  Gan’s figure has the stripes sculpted in which was rather helpful.




Points for this post are: 55
Inconstant - 20 points.
7 * 28mm figures = 35 points.   Not counting the computer (sorry Peter Tuddenham).

Blake's 7 was a show just before me time also, but alas I have never delved back to enjoy it. I guess with Dr Who, the original Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek and Star Wars I was sufficiently entertained!

  3. Thanks all. The show is available for purchase via the bbc store and sporadically pops up on YouTube. A grittier show than Trek and Dr Who but with early Who special effects. A Terry Nation show.
