The minis by "Crooked Dice" are great fun to paint and highly recommended. looking forward to getting a few of their Fed Troopers done - as they're mainly black :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-79349124782928001852014-10-29T05:39:26.008-07:002014-10-29T05:39:26.008-07:00OMG I LOVE the Blake`s Seven hero.... it even LOOK...OMG I LOVE the Blake`s Seven hero.... it even LOOKS just like Blake. I adore that old sci-fi series and still watch it all the way through on DVD at least once a year. Excellent blog, with a real atmospheric feel to it.

Momentarily benched Judge Death, just so I can finish another figure for tomorrow's posting, but should be back painting him tonight.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-91763436892228093312014-10-28T11:56:01.423-07:002014-10-28T11:56:01.423-07:00That is one stonking looking Blake figure Simon (y...That is one stonking looking Blake figure Simon (yes I'm back on line, but who knows for how long!!), really good detail on the face, it actually looks like Roj Blake, hope you do as good a job on the others.

Really looking forward to getting some games in with these once I've a few more painted. Slowly getting there with Judge Death.

To be fair Blake was a grim character at the best of times and I think the model is spot on, even down to the extra bit of girth he carried :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-58509904477579374242014-10-28T08:26:08.099-07:002014-10-28T08:26:08.099-07:00Michael, many thanks indeed.

Took a bit longer on him than usual because I wanted him to look a bit better than my normal tabletop standard - hence the repaint on the sleeves etc.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-81187109173852672202014-10-28T07:08:35.520-07:002014-10-28T07:08:35.520-07:00Loved Blakes 7 when I was a kid.

I never got into B7 until the third season myself, so never really knew Blake himself until it was well and truly over on TV and they released an abridged video of the first few stories. Been in love with the series since then. Slowly progressing Judge Death but I have a few other models distracting me at present. Hopefully he'll be done by the weekend.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-76604776809951548022014-10-27T09:11:12.329-07:002014-10-27T09:11:12.329-07:00I can remember Blake's Seven with mixed emotio...I can remember Blake's Seven with mixed emotions. When I first watched it I loved it. Much later, when I watched repeats of it I soon realised how wrong I was. It was appallingly bad! Ah well, that's hindsight for you. Even so, you've captured the look of Blake well. Judge Death is coming along very nicely.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.com
