bbc tv series blake 7
any miniatures (15mm or there about) that could pass as federation troopers

0r 28mm?- some modern Swat team don't seem that far off.

Someone did some in 28mm, can't remember who right now though

Have a look here link to see how to make a large scale version.

Though you cannot get the helmet correct the new figures from Rebel (Earth Force) look close link and may be able to be modified with a simple plastic strip around the mask.

With a bit of work link (US Special Forces) could also fit the bill.

From GZG you have the NAC infantry picture (SG15-A5) or NSL picture (SG15-N5) – just fill in the slits in the visor

Main issue I see is the lack of packs / body armour on the Federation troops (no long term combat here folks).

No body armour can stop a BBC special-effects weapon!

Check out the double-barrelled awesomeness of 1:33!

Would these be any use? They almost have the wrap around visors.

I think CP Models used to do some in 25/28mm but I can't remember what happened to their figures.

auton114 Jun 2009 3:37 p.m. PST

That's the ones I was thinking of

These got a lot of Blake's 7 comparisons…maybe this will help.

Would be interested in some 28mm Fed and Blakes gang for a skirmish game i must admit. I take it Terry Nations Estate would hold the rights though.
