Blake 7


I have finished my Blake's 7 Federation team, Servalen, Travis & eight troopers.

Base decorations are always an issue. Do you make mini diaromas or keep the bases dark, simple and inconspicuous. Mini-diaromas look great but can be a bit wierd on the wargaming table, as the sceary follows the model around.

One solution is to give the 'heros' diaramas and utilise simple bases for the 'other ranks. I am not sure how I will decorate the trooper bases, probably follow the steam-punk motif, but it will be simple.

    Dear Monty

    Servalen and Travis are from Crooked Dice, and the Federation Troopers are CP Models. They both have online shops and sell a variety of models (Dr Who, Capt Scarlet, Avengers, Prisoner, Cthulhu etc)

    Nicely done, John! I really ought to go back and watch Blake 7 again, though I fear it won't live up to my memories...

    ...And there's miniatures based on the Prisoner? That I'll have to look into. Of course, a small white balloon to represent a Rover would likely be simple enough to do. Hah!

    Keep up the great work!

    Dear 7th

    I got all the DVDs for Xmas, Dutch edition, and it has stood the test of time. The stories and acting are good. Much more important than SFX.

    There is only No. 6 so far, I believe.
