I bought a miniature to represent Gregory today. I buy one for EVERY PC I make (and I require players to have one. Doesn't have to be a real model, little lego men work fine if they want, but I think it's cool to have a mini.), and those are the only minis I buy, therefore, I'm not picky about what brand I get as long as it communicates the character. For example, Monique (a NWN character) I ended up buying some elf chick and shaving her ears down. It was the only female I could find who had a long/short sword combo.
Anyway, the point is, I thought it was going to be very very difficult to find a "normal" guy not in Chainmail or celtic gear or a mech. I looked through the horror stuff, hoping they'd have a normal looking zombie or some victim with a look of terror but normal street clothes on (no luck, but I found a lot of female vampires wearing very little clothing -- unfortunately, lead just doesn't do it for me). Anyway, I never found a normal guy. But I found a line of superhero miniatures called Living LEgends made by Lance & Laser Models, Inc out of Columbus, Ohio. So I settled on a model called "Blue Jay" because he looked like a Robin/sidekicky/teenagery sort of fellow. He's got one of those stupid "Rocketeer" jackets on though. And a mask. And I don't ever envision Gregory putting on a costume as such. If anything, nondescript black outfit and a black mask, to protect anonymity, not to be flashy.
Should I bother trying to alter the model? Or should I just ignore the mask and say he's wearing a leather jacket?
PS, yes, I know we'll never need minis for this game, its just a habit I have of getting minis to represent my characters -- I still need one for Borg the Brave, and I can't decide what sort of mini to get for Zhom, since he started out looking like an ogre, eventually acquired horns, wings, and a tail, and then got turned into a gnome. So yeah, what do you do with that?
