7TV Day IV Pulptastic! Plans part 2

 So plodding along this week a bit at a time and managed to get finished all the extras off I need for this cast. Still eagerly waiting on the kickstarter minis to arrive (on schedule but excited to receive them).
Mob Boss and Mobsters. Mixture of Pulp miniatures, Copplestone, Hasslefree and OOP Statuesque miniatures


 Leonard from Hasslefree miniatures or Bull as I shall call name him. I got him for Spy Fi really as a bodyguard head thug. I will use him as a Mob Boss (unit leader for mobsters) though in a pinch he would work for a Prizefighter profile as well. If I get the kickstarter minis through he will most likely be used as that and my Underworld Boss miniature will replace him has as the Mob Boss. 

 Inigo Wild from Statuesque miniatures now oop I think. Really cracking sculpt if a little on the slim side. Carrying a semi automatic pistol and brass knuckles. Quite like his name so shall keep it.



 Big Jimmy who is from Pulp Miniatures Freakie Flunkie pack courtesy of Kieron from Cheaphammer!! very kindly donated for my Shiva cast! Thanks mate!

 Mumbles (yes I have been watching Dick Tracey lol) a Copplestone Gangster that I had originally paint all in black as a Nazi thug now stripped and repainted.


 Another Copplestone miniature this time from the KKBB range I have nicknamed this one 


 Officer Murphy a dirty cop taking bribes from the mob. Wargames Foundry London Bobby with a head swap for a Crooked Dice Lawman head.


 Hasslefree Jashun Shaw bottle removed and silenced pistol replaced with a bashed together thompson submachine gun. Johnny 'Two Face' I have nick named him heads he shoots you tails he punches you!  Two Face will be a Triggerman (smg mobster) 

The gang together so far. Just need to finish off my Underworld Boss mini to use as my Kingpin. The car is much later on but looks the part. I am on the hunt for a suitable days gone by vehicle for them to use for a more 1930s theme. I think they are setting the Pulp day event in the late 40s so I might get away with using it.

  8. I wondered where you’d picked the cop up from. Nice and simple conversion.

    I like how individual they all look. Not too uniform.
