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.
Simon, an excellent cast list.
ReplyDeleteCheers very much Phil.
DeleteSuch stylish lil' bastards, the fat one probably sat on the lanky one and squished him so!
ReplyDeleteThe Bull says hey that's muscle not fat!
DeleteI really like them a lot, Simon. A good mix of ne'er-do-wells.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Bryan. I think they mix rather well
DeleteWonderful. What a splendid little gang!
ReplyDeleteCheers Skully!
DeleteI like the lanky guy from Statuesque, great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. Yeah there were a couple of others which were also great sculpts but they are hard to get hold of now.
DeleteNice collection of characters, Simon. They all work well together. Cool looking checkered cab too!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Dean. I am quite chuffed with them all now they are painted the mix together surprisingly well.
DeleteNice mate. It's a bugger I can't make this event.
ReplyDeleteCheers very much Carl. I told you phone in sick!!!
DeleteI wondered where you’d picked the cop up from. Nice and simple conversion.
ReplyDeleteI like how individual they all look. Not too uniform.
Thanks me to I am pleased with how they have all turned out. I have spare if you want it? Its got a revolver and a cosh in a slightly different pose. Will PM you on FB as I can bring it to Pulp day.
DeleteGreat looking gang and a good choice of backdrop to show tham all off.
ReplyDeleteCheers Joe. I still need to make a proper one but its storing it somewhere when space is lacking!
DeleteSensational stuff Simon, such a great looking squad.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael!
DeleteThat's awesome. I feel like I'm back in time!!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal! indeed!
Deletebeautiful. love the one fellow, Bull, reminds of the Kingpin from the Marvel comics.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much mate. Yeah he does I am not sure what the original inspiration was fr him to be honest. Does make a good one though!
