Action Force and the Red Shadows in 28mm scale
Baron Ironblood - 'His Nibs'
In sourcing a miniature to represent Baron Ironblood I started by considering the original action figure. Although featured with a removable helmet in toy form, in the comics (which is my primary influence for the project) he is rarely see without it.
The miniature I chose was the ‘not Travis’ ‘not Blake’s 7’ Stefan ‘Grief’ Travers originally released by Crooked Dice (and now owned by Beast from the Broch).
The basis for the Baron - on the right (studio paint job - not my work!)The challenge was to try and find a suitable helmet that I could head swap onto my chosen miniature. The Baron’s helmet has a very Ned Kelly feel, but finding a Kelly miniature proved difficult.
Therefore I’ve had a go at green stuffing a helmet.
Got to say I am not super happy with this and have found an alternate head to use, so I may very well look at doing Ironblood v2 at some point in this future.
Hi great escape games do a Ned Kelly mini for dead man’s hand down under its under gangs on there web site might be of use as head swap cheers
