Here at VA we’ve always got our eyes peeled for new stuff! And look what we found today on Tesselate’s flickr!

Ohman is a small hand-made figure by UK artist Tesselate, the creator of the Heartheads resin figures. Ohman was created for the website www.o-hand.com, 50 in total were made, 47 in the company’s green and 3 special custom colours. Featuring the original Hearthead body with the o-hand logo for a head and an insanely crisp paintjob these really show off Tesselates skills!
Check out Tesselate’s flickr account yourself for more pictures, including the green version HERE!

“It was during a Cricket match, one balmy afternoon in the summer of 1897, that Professor Maximillian Whistlecraft was informed of England’s forthcoming destruction.
His friend and fellow tinkerer at the outer boundaries of science and engineering, one Herbert Wells, had just returned from a brief jaunt into the near future through the use of his Extraordinary Temporal Conveyancer, and had a shocking tale to relate. In only a few short years hence the green and pleasant land of good old Blighty would be overrun by a dastardly Martian invasion force, the likes of which could barely be comprehended. As part of the invasion, Herbert had witnessed the razing of his friend’s own residence near Horsell Common and had hastened at the earliest opportunity to warn the good fellow to the impending danger.
