Tangent miniatures,, probably in a massive breach of copywrite, have these familiar characters.
Do you know how difficult it is to paint plaid dressing gowns and pringle jumpers!!!



I've seen it, it's rubbish!


He's got an towel and he's mildly worried!


Plaid... gah!  :-B @-)


Okay, the blazer was fun!


Damn, didn't see that flock, sorry!


Probably the worst cast of the batch, plus his jacket is covered in gold and silver brocade is a nightmare.

Glad to see they used the TV series ... not the unfortunate film.

Great job with the brush Lemmey.

Funny. HHGTTG has been on my mind. Do you think we're psychically linked? Perhaps in some previous life we were twins? Maybe we are one soul divided?



Or is it just coincidence?

VERY nice, Will !!  :-bd

Still go back to the radio series and listen all the way through, every few months.
Only part of that that 'throws me', is the episode at Milliways, as Hotblack Desiato doesn't appear in the radio version.

I'll have to dig out the DVDs and have a watch......again.

I have trouble imagining you and a cat sharing your lives.

Good work, nice figures - copyrights probably expired unless someone's kept up the "do not make tiny effigies" bit, maybe?!

First the radio show, then the books and finally the TV series, managed to avoid most of the movie

I think it's 75 years from the date of the creators death currently, but I'm not sure how it applies when looking at an adaptation into a different medium.  There's an interesting trend in IP rights tied to Mickey Mouse, so whenever his rights protection would expire, Disney manage to get the law extended by a few more years...
