1/18 Scale Exacutioners Series ?

Post by pickelhaube » Tue Dec 07, 2010 4:13 pm

OK guys sick puppy time.

I am not sure if this is the right forum for this. I am not sure if there IS a right forum for this.

Through time there has been a need for the exacutioners handy work in military and civillian life.

My idea as twisted as it is , is to do a Exacutioners series.

1. Axman Dark Ages - A heavy weight figure with ax ,mask and chopping block.

2. Guillatine French Revolution - Probably close to the old Aarora kit with exacutioner.

3. Gallows Old West - With masked figure with platform.

4. Electric chair 1930's -With chair and masked figure.

Comments ?

Should I stop watching old movies ?

Go see a shrink ?

Move this to the " off topic" page ?

Pickel check out Mcfarlane Monster series, they make something very close, 6" figures, pretty demented stuff but well detailed,

If you wanted to simply make custom figures, a Star Wars Rancor Keeper with a custom made hood would be *perfect*.

I'd rather see a Spanish Inquisitor 1/18 figure, which could be a red cloak on a hooded Cobra Commander repaint. <-- yes, I probably get double sick puppy points for actually having dressed up as such for Halloween once (though I was a Monty Python version)

Sir Pickelhaube..,
Well.., this is very interesting. Midevel, gothic, the dark arts.., this could open up some interesting possibilities. Done in 1/18th scale in my opinion could add and or create some eyebrow rasing displays. Mixing them with existing figures and equpiment could produce situations right out of a twilight zone episode. Yes indeed.., absolute power corrupts absoutely. Keep going.., I like your enthusiasm.

G man.. :evil: :twisted:

Not really into figures, but the "Executioner Series" would have some interest I am sure.

A functional guillotine complete with a fig with a removeable head would be pretty cool as morbid as it is.

We are treading in dangerous waters here ... visions of "Sid" from Toy Story are coming to mind.

Yeah, I was going to semi copy the old Aurora kit . :wink:

I wish there was a forum for this kind of stuff. Or maybe I should just leave it alone.

Those could be some terrible dark allies to venture into. :shock:
