FIRSTLY let me say I do NOT know who makes these. So if you do KNOW (No guesses) please inform me.They were purchased unpainted in eBay by Matt. More than that I cannot tell you. I painted them of course and now they are ready for the wargames table.
They will make a rather suitable "In Her Majesties Name" force so perhaps I want to get some more. The top pic shows them all together the later pics show just a selection at a time. These two are an industrialist (possibly Brunel) and one other. Which Matt has referred to as "Mac the Knife!" The real names and intentions of the sculptor are unknown tome so I am just talking hearsay. The one on the left does have a cybernetic arm but is otherwise a human (I hope) while the one on the right is fully robotic in all the visible areas at least. Who knows under the green coat.
As with all of them I have tended to use dark colours to emphasise the Victorian dark gaslight factories. But with bright red scarfs to unify the group. I could easily have picked a different colour but I did want the scarfs to stand out and thus make them all easily identifiable and blue would not have looked as menacing!
One comes with a sandwich board. I did have some fun trying to work out what to right on it. Matt suggested "Space Squid" which I hope is readable. The back says something different. Which Matt will find out on Sunday when he gets them back.
One has a small cannon on his hat. While I do not see this as a practical place to place a cannon, seriously, what do I know. It may be the extra height allows better shots!
That's' it for today. If you do know who makes these kindly let me know. Unless it is secret knowledge in which case feel free to take it to your grave.
All the best Clint
They look familiar but can’t remember where I have seen them
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt If you do recall kindly let me know.
DeleteInteresting looking models Clint, sadly I don’t know the manufacturer
ReplyDeleteThanks Andy. If I ever find out I will let you know.
DeleteI have never seen these figures before but they sure do look interesting. I, too, would like to know who made them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryan. I am sure someone will tell us. They seem from painting them to be quite old sculpts. And are more 25 than 28mm again hints a being old figures. But that is just a guess.
DeleteYu do get through some "interesting" figures
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe. These are Matts doing. I take NO responsibility at all.
DeleteThose are really interesting Clint, not to mention very nicely done too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. It is a real shame I just don't know who makes them.
DeleteGreat job on the robots Clint, sorry can't help on the manufacturer
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave. I am sure finding out who made them make take some time. But eventually one person will know.
DeleteThose are from Black Pyramid Gaming's Steam and Steel range. Looks like you've got Isambard Brunel and Steamwork Navvies, Steam Navvies and Murdoch, Newspaper Magnet.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, and Mek the Knife, of course.
DeleteThanks Gavin. I will check them out straight away. I really appreciate the info.
DeleteGlad to have been able to help! :-)
DeleteThanks Again Gavin. I have looked at the figures and I will look again I am sure. Seriously I do appreciate the help.
DeleteThose are excellent! Thank you Clint and Gavin!
DeleteThank you Pat. It is always good to get figures identified.
DeleteNow there’s a statement about the mechanisation of labour and the bourgeoisie view of the proletariat. Very cool...unless you’re a Luddite.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kieron. That comment has left me speechless. Although I can see many parallels with how work may progress in the future.
DeleteLovely mini's the guys in Stoke have some really nice mini's in there range.
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon, I found some gems in the range, although most of the figures were not to my taste.
