Hi
Well it's been a while and though I've been off doing other fun things my custom figures have been neglected. Having said that I've spent quite sometime over the past two weeks updating some of the figures and sculpts on my lab desk.

I've just recently finished two more Blakes 7 figures, Jenna and Cally both of which I'll post photos of once the weapons are complete.

In addition to that I've also finished sculpting and molding a number of heads from three other sci-fi tv shows.
First I have four figures from Sapphire and Steel.
Those being Sapphire, Silver, Shape and Steel all with boxes just needing costumes.

A then and now series of figures from Battlestar Galactica with figures from both the classic series and the new series.

Finally and at long last a very large range of figures from Doctor Who, again from both the classic series and the new series. This range comprises of many figures including all the Doctors most of the companions and many of the monsters and villans.

So with the free time I now have left I better head down to the lab and get working!
Ta ta!

Another side step away from the world of Blake's 7 but a familliar subject. Star Trek Mego figures were the starting point for my action figure collection all those years ago and they are also what started my customising Mego figures.

Blakes 7
Mutoid Pilot


This is the season 2 'silver blond wig' Mutoid which was seen to pilot
the Pursuit Ships in the episode Hostage.



The hands are reworked Mego Lion Rock hands. I wanted my female figures to be able to hold weapons and the smaller hand of the Lion Rock figure needed a little re-shaping to look more feminine.
Blakes 7 Gan

Back to Blakes 7.
Seen here in his signiture season 2 costume.

The Avengers








A slight side step into the 60s and the world of The Avengers.
Like so much of my work I had the initial idea for Steed
many months ago and sculpted the head there and then. One of the difficulties in finishing the custom was in finding the right material to make the suit from, and of course the flower in his button hole.
The umbrella and hat were made from scratch.

Mrs Peel was entirely the reverse as I had the material but not yet sculpted the head.
Thanks to the response at the
Mego Talk forum to the Steed custom I finished the sculpt on Mrs Peel and then her catsuit. These figures are featured as Custom of the Week on Mego Talk so my thanks to Dave Mc
for spotlighting my work once again.
Both boxed figures are currently listed on eBay.

Blake's 7 boxes
After several weeks in front of my P.C. screen not to mention a few trips to the printers in town I finally created my own Blake's 7 boxes.
Each box is designed for a specific character with some of the story details on the back.
The window has been cut to the shape of the Federation logo and each box also has an insert with a picture of either the Liberator or Scorpio for the rebels depending on which season character, a Pursuit Ship for Travis and the Mutoids, or Federation HQ for Servalan, Troopers and the Politicians.
I've not quite worked out which insert to use for characters like Bayban or Egrorian.
