15mm 'The Department' figures


Effigy Miniatures- excellent casting and sculpting.
"Rick, show this rookie around. I'm going to chat up that new nightclub singer."
"Vanessa! You're a fembot!"
I see the, well, fat detective as mostly Lieutenant Eckhardt from the 1989 Batman with a little of Blade Runner's Captain Bryant.
 
"Hey, Eckhardt! Think about the future!"
"If you're not cop, you're little people."
I was originally going to have the fabricants in different colours (like the 1990s iMacs!), but went for white instead, similar to the I, Robot and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence films.

My cops need transport. Also, my wishlist for future miniatures would have to include a Roy Batty, Pris, Leon, Rachel and Eldon Tyrell. And a GitS range. And I'm going to have to make some roof fans. And a lot of signs. This is why I shouldn't do new periods.

  1. I found some paper models online for cars from the movie "Blade Runner".
    I just did a simple Google search.
