  • Metal Rogue Trader Iron Claw Space Pirate Star Raven

    This guy went by Star Raven, but had Time Lord on his tab. A rejected Dr. Who sculpt perhaps? He’s a 1987 Bob Olley sculpt.

  • Metal Rogue Trader Iron Claw Space Pirate Dambo Kweltz

    This guy is Dambo Kweltz and has “Trooper” on the front of his tab. He’s a 1987 Bob Olley sculpt.

  • Metal Rogue Trader Iron Claw Space Pirate Col Vlad

    This guy has “Mercenary” on the tab and is a 1987 Bob Olley sculpt.

  • 2000AD Trooper Morgen

    This metal miniature is a Games Workshop sculpt for 2000AD. I can’t find out who sculpted this guy. I think it says 87 on the tab.

    This chap went by “Attitude” Gorman.

  • Vintage Iron Claw Space Pirate Loritta aka Cyber Girl

    This lass went by Loritta – or Cyber Girl on the tab – and was a Bob Olley sculpt. A 1987 sculpt.

  • Metal Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Blake with Autogun

    Metal Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Blake with Autogun

    I think the only Space Marine to ever come with an autogun! He’s shown as 070106/16 in the 1991 catalogue, and as Brother Blake in the 1988 RT3 flyer:

    He seems to be named after Madge Blake, who played Aunt Harriet Cooper in the 1960s Batman TV show. The mini himself:

    He can be seen in WD99:
