Genius Intellect and a Powerful Psychic Mind - The Professor

I had planned to paint this figure up as one of my Five Parsecs crew, but I got halfway through before running out of time. Since then he'd been stuck part-painted on a shelf, waiting patiently for me to finish him off. Happily, I had a few hours yesterday evening, so it's another figure in the 'done' pile. He's the sort of figure that really appeals to me with his non-combatant / Professor X look.

I can't remember what range the figures is from. I know that he came in a set that I bought second-hand from Lead Adventure forum. The set also included some near future trooper types and drones in a slightly more truescale proportion to Citadel figures.

I envisage the Professor as being an inquisitor in the same sort of mould as Dan Abnett's Ravenor - a hugely powerful psychic mind, tempered by physical limitations.

I kept the painting relatively basic (the sculpt is a little crude in places), just adding a few little areas of interest like the oxygen and medication tanks and the red stripe on the side.

The model feels a little bit like the chair is tipping forward and the Prof might fall out!

I'm not entirely sure what he'll end up getting used as (and end of level boss who has a fancy lair complete with shark tank perhaps?). Or maybe he'll just spend his time chatting with other genii at the local science club!
