I would like to dedicate this to those real heroes: Two brave Hong Kong firemen, SIU Wing-fong and CHAN Siu-lung, sacrificed their lives to save the others in a grade 5 fire at on 10th Aug 2008.

That reminded me a movie filmed more than 10 years ago about the brave stories of Hong Kong firemen. 
Presenting LAU Ching Wan (劉青雲) from Lifeline (十萬火急):

LAU acted as a team leader in the movie. Since it is filmed before 1997, the Fire Department logo is still of the old British Colony version.

Saving the girl! (the “girl” is a Takara Cool Girl. The leg and arm joints are removed and dirt is added by photoshop)

Save the driver! (inspired by a car crash rescue scene in the movie)

LAU and his teamates (I only made 1 figure but I do have 2 helmets: the one with stripes is for the team leader)

The Figure

Most accessories and costumes are from a HK fireman figure boxset made by a small company called KF Toys. The quality, in today’s standard, is just so-so but the accessories are surprisingly accurate. The only compliant is that the costume is made of cotton instead of some water-proof material. But it still looks pretty close to the one in the movie.

Parts Breakdown
Head: unknown source (customized/repainted)
Body: BBI G3.5
Costumes: KF Toys (slightly weathered)
Accessories: KF Toys (enhanced/repainted)
Gloves: Hot Toys (modified to fit BBI wrist peg)

Head

This is the first time for me to re-sculpt a head to change the face features. There is a head of LAU in the market. However, the eyes are over-sized and the shape of the cheek is also a bit off. After consulting FENG, the HS master from Taiwan, I have resculpted the head with epoxy putty. Although the outcome is still not 100%, it looks a lot better. At least when I show that to my friends, they can tell right away who that is.

Although the accessories are quite accurate compared to the HK Fire Services Department standard, it is a bit different from those from the movie. To save effort, I decided to follow the modern HKFSD standard. The only thing faithful to the movie is the old British Colony version logo on the helmet. The accessories were enhanced, repainted and weathered.

At last, my salute to those real heroes. Their spirit will live forever.
