Rover from Ainsty Castings
August 11, 2011 by brennon
Anyone remember The Prisoner? If you do then how about your very own Rover Capture Sphere from Ainsty Castings.
Even comes with squished escapee. At least it will be pretty easy to paint.
Remember, You are not a number!
couldn’t you just make this from a table tennis ball on a base with some stuff from your bitz box??
At £3.50 for the model… would you bother?
You get to use some of that huge bitz box and you avoid having to pay for anything.
Tennis ball would be too big for 28mm-32mm
Ping pong ball or polystyrene ball would be more suitable size.
A tennis ball is hard to paint due to the covering of material. You would need a plastic ball of some sort.
We have a bag of plastic balls for a kids Ball Pit, here at the studio. We use them for planets and all sorts of stuff (it was 100 of them for £5 at B&Q).
I suppose you could use one of them…
a furry rover???
Rover used to be very scary for me as a kid.
Never liked the thought of being sufficated by the big balloon.
It would have been better imho if the figure was in the process of being attacked
The sculpting would have to be clever to achieve that effect of the rubber stretching around the victim
scary even homer knows how to deal with it

I was only 7
Suffocatty giant balloons that wobbled ferociously were scary
Apart from which Homer is only 2D and being a drawing doesn’t require oxygen.
I am not a number, I am a free man!
well, £3.50 anyway.
OMFG
I am playing a 7TV* game from crooked dice , and this is going to be perfect….so thats Jason King and the Doctor vs the undead nazis and rover…
*7tv is a skirmish game of the 1970’s tv series you knew and loved , think Dr who vs the professionals vs the saint vs Captain Scarlet…..its fantastic
Have you got a link for this? It sounds great!
It needs the roar.
Awesome, always loved Rover! so getting one 😀 killer spheres are awesome (40k needs to put out umbra!)
I like it- I would like it more if it made the sound…..
