An Em-4 Conversion to make Benedict from Last Action Hero. This guy has to be my Favourite Hollywood Baddie bar none...! Afterall, I do need a Villain to represent 'Me' in the SF games...

Shadow Force Agent:47 (Almost straight Em-4 figure. I messed around with the SMG a little to make it look a little more 'modern' and a little less 'near-future' and cut the tie to a point). I've since painted his belt buckle in gold...

And some new toys... the Hasslefree Minigun ganger, 3 RAFM Moderns (Decius, Hannah & Briggs w/ SAW) & a gaggle of figures from Offensive minis (The Che wanabe will become an african milita leader; the guy in balaclava w/ shotgun & dude in body armour with pistol will become SF agents, the others will become misc. baddies)

Ooh looking forward to seeing them done in perticulat the heavy gunner? Are you sure it is Hasslefree and not heresy? :S
That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange æons even death may die

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
Then you don't understand the severity of the situation!

Happy Bongolesian independance day everyone! (According to TMP)

For those who don't know WTF I'm talking about - http://bongolesia.blogspot.com/ is a long runing AK47 blog, based around the ficticious country of Bongolesia. The page even goes so far as come up with various politicians, etc to populate the region!

Also on TMP, and showing that when it comes to making figures work for 3rd world countries: http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=182288

In fairness, it is easier in 15mm as the detail is less, and so there is less to try to change... but the principle still stands!

Reaper Chronoscope has a somewhat decent "Ernesto", http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Chronoscope/latest/50043 More Banana Republic Bandito than African Despot... Although historically the Cubans did have troops in Africa.

Aye Tink, he's a figure I've had my eye on for a while. He may become a Communist advisor (ala the cubans in Angola) although I had been eyeing up the '10th company' pack from Mongrel for that. I could just paint him up as a Black I suppose, that'd work, or maybe remove the star from the beret & have him as a soldier of fortune... Think of the possibilities!

Yeah Xander I think he'd be fairly easy to convert into a African. The beret can work into so many schemes much easier than the fatigue hat would.

Aye! :(|grin: I'm trying breath some life into things, but I think they are just trying to be too ambitious with breaking everythng down quite so much. They'd almost be better having a very broad selection of Eastern Europe, Middle East & Afghanistan, Africa & Other 'over boards' with figure galleries, historical information, scenery, etc broken down within those sections. They also need a open discussion area for general gossip/bnter/on running jokes...

Yeah... I may need necromancy at this rate... I'll keep on doing 'live stuff' for a month, and if that has no luck I'll give up!

The current gamesoc commitee have decreed on very short notice that there will be a zombie game tomorrow. As it's set to turn into Gologo island levles of craziness, I decided to help the process along... So I've been painting like crazy this evening. As well as finishing the 12 Historical figures in the BOC thread, I also finished my AC57 greasers:

And done some work on some more mulp heroes:

Balaclava & SPAS 12 guy on the left has since been finished, and Magnum girl will be done in time for the game. Haven't had chance to do SAW guy though...

MAN, that place is soooooo dead !!!!!!

a shame though; i would have been interested in seeing WTFO was going on in this genre, what leads people were using, and etc.

if i played at all, it would be in my seldom used imaginary THIRD THRU SEVENTH WORLD countries of BRUTO- SLAVIA, SKUMBONIA, PUERTO VERDE, the GREAT SANDY KOFAX, FREEDONIA, LIBERTARIA, etc, and similar places that other folks have created for fun and games.
