Admins Family Values

 Slight digression from 20mm Colonial Pulp... sorting out the Admins catalogue and moulds I naturally started casting and painting the things... Meanwhile, Jacklex Chinese should be out in a couple of weeks (seen pictures - nice figures) and I should get the Russian company finished in a couple of days as well...

This is the first lot finished - more of them on the assembly line and nearly finished.

The Admins Ranges include assorted hermits and wizards in various robes and things. I need priests and monks... so paint scheme reflects this... Amazing how minor paint faults appear in photos - this lot look bad but the models themselves don't.... In order, left to right, DA01 Cleric with club, DA12 Evil priest with skull, VIC08 Village Priest with tome, then one I haven't identified - there isn't a 'preying priest  figure in the range... Actually got a few unidentified figures in the Admins ranges.

DA33 Princess flanked by AD46 Goblin madam and DA11 Village maiden (I think!)

AD258 Nude Lamia, AD154 Howling Banshee (in ragged clothes), AD260 Moral Minority Medusa. Must admit I like these figures - they have a definite charm.

Assorted monster types - AD162 Larva in front, AD256 Sqidhead with staff and VIC14 Count Vladimir Dracula at the back.

VIC01 Bailiff in long coat and VIC11 Murderer in bowler hat with razor - onething about this range, needs more 'civilians'!

VIC06 Sinister Arab with dagger and VIC18 Inscrutable Chinaman - Both, I think, should be very useful. Possible conversion potential as well?

So, gradually sorting through these. Some figues are catalogued incorrectly, others not identified - at some stage I may just rename some of them!

  1. Some very nice looking figures in amongst this bunch, Rob.

    1. There are. Admins are a very variable series of Ranges, with a couple of different styles. Most of them are quite cartoony and suit block colours. Some look a bit 'stiff', others have loads of character. I don't like a lot of the human faces, but overall it's a very quixotic set of figures.

  2. I do like the cartoon and whimsical nature of these figures!

    1. Which pretty much describes them - cartoon and whimsical! When I try i, it will be interesting to see how well they fit when mixed with 'normal' figures.
