"Photo journalist and film Crew" Topic

I'm looking for minis of photo journalists and film crew. I know EM-4 do a near-future film crew with anchor, and GZG offer a simmilar set, but any ideas for photo journalists with camera, vest with pockets and so on? In 25-28mm ideally.

Sorry, no idea how this got crossposted to medieval as well…

Copplestone Castings make some…

I am sure I've seen a Vietnam war set, but I am damned if I cna find them. Maybe someone has a better memory.

Found them; Westwind

I was digging around through some boxes last night and came across the old Grenadier Future Warriors Media Team set (also sculpted by Mark Copplestone). Any use to you?

Westwind also had a video-cameraman, and a photographer in one of their Supersystem Civilians packs – I don't know if they're still available though?

Thkx Guinny, I have them as well. More or less the same as the copplestone/EM-4 ones. A tad to futuristic for my needs.

The West wind ones look just the ticket, though.

I think the assault group did one that looked like Geraldo Reviera.

As this is posted to sci-fi, try the Mongoose reporter that is with the MI Light Infantry.

One of my collections is Reporters, War Correspondents, and Photojournalists, and I have a bunch of them.

As several posters have noted, there is the excellent near-future set by Mark Copplestone, originally for Grenadier but now offered by eM-4, among others.

West Wind does pack NAM-009, Vietnam Chopper Gunners and Press. This is the pack that includes "Geraldo Rivera", "Dennis Hopper", a Camera Man, a Sound Man, and four different chopper gunners. Based on your description, it sounds like this pack is the best for you.

West Wind also does the Superfigs Civilian pack SF-CV01, which includes a female reporter and a male cameraman.

1st Corps does Sci-Fi pack SCI13, Correspondent and News Team, that includes a male reporter and 2 cameramen.

Bicorne has a War Artists mini, WA10, a modern photographer good for the 1960s on.

Force of Arms does a pack, CXX03, Vietnam Press Party, that includes a reporter in helmet and a bare-headed photojournalist.

Grenadier did Shadowrun pack 1323, News Team, that included a female reporter, male cameraman, and a bodyguard.

GZG does Street Level pack SL-12, Sci-Fi News Team, that includes a cameraman, a technician kneeling at an uplink terminal, and two female reporters, one in a suit, the other in fatigues.

Mongoose does a Judge Dredd pack, 690003, that includes a Vid Vulture with camera and microphone.

RAFM does Call of Cthulhu pack 2906, Journalist, that features the same male journalist of th mid-20th century in sane, experienced, and insane poses. (Reminds me of Darren McGavin as Kolchak.)

RAFM also does Paige Fox in its Modern Heroes line. She's a present-day female reporter.

Ral Partha did Shadowrun pack 20-518, Shadowbeat Journalists, that included a female reporter with mic, male reporter taking notes, male with "assault camera", and a Dwarf cameraman. Iron Wind or Ral Partha Europe might still offer this pack.

That's most of the modern and near-future reporters that I'm aware of.

For a much more futuristic feel, you could use one of Corvus Belli's Infinity Hackers. They do different hackers for Pan-Oceania, Yu-Jing, Haqislam, and the Nomads.

SMc, I wasn't aware of that MI reporter. Thanks for the heads-up!

I've got a lovely set in resin, made by Verlinden. One video camera operator, one sound engineer. This is 1/35 or 1/32 scale.
Set in late 60's – early 70's style for Veitnam conflict.

I also made one up with a Verlinden head on a field gun crew member which worked quite well.
