Anybody think I was joking when I said that my post here last week was just Wave 1, with more to come?

Here we have Wave 2, and the '2068 Unity City Comic Convention Exclusive Captain Scarlet: Crater 101 Set'

The story of how the Angels got made is one of serendipity. I had already completed Scarlet, Black and Blue and was looking for more of the same figure in a local toy shop; without any luck, I might add. I was browsing the Star Wars section and I found a lonely comic pack with two Imperial Officer figures. One of them female. I stared at the female and imagined her in white. I grabbed it off the shelf and ran to the till. A real coup. It was half price at £6.50. Only one they had, unfortunately. Destiny Angel became the test model. I started looking around and found another four on Ebay for? £6.50 a pack including postage. Two weeks later and I had The Angels completed.

The 'Comic Con' set came about as an in-joke.

The Angels are the all-female Spectrum fighter pilot team. Their profiles are here:

dude, are you kidding me? awesome man. The Angels are inspired, and are all dead ringers for the source characters. And the spacesuits rock. I love the ambition and scope of this project.

_________________

This is a very ambitious project. I know nothing about the source material, but it's obviously a huge undertaking and you're doing a great job!

_________________

I am so digging this. Yet another awesome project of yours turning out such gems. Dare I hope to see vehicles or dio bases?

I am working on a version of the Cloudbase Control Room. So far I have modified the Diodrama TeleViper set for Lieutenant Green's communication console. Still got some work to do on it, but here is a quick look at the WIP:



When I can afford it ($60+ over here), I plan on modifying a Nightraven/bird. I already have a couple of vehicles that were brought out for both original and new series:









The bottom vehicle was basically a children's toy version of teh r/c model at the top. The middle one is from the modern CGI series.



Nope. Not kidding. Two more weeks worth to come.

As for the ambition and scope, there is more to come after I have finished showcasing Captain Scarlet. I am moving on to some of teh other puppet shows that Gerry Anderson made in teh 1960s.

Very cool, Kambei. I loved the source material, and you're handling it well. You're also the first to do so, I think.

If you mean customs, more than likely, since I did a set of just the colour coded officers 25 years ago. This is by way of my 25th Anniversary custom set.

A British firm called Vivid Imaginations did a smaller set of figures back in teh 1990's. I will post a comparison photo sometime.
