I need some french waitresses and a cafe owner in 28mm scale for a WWII french cafe.

They can't be too big, so the Black Scorpion bargirl is out. No Reaper etc.

Any Ideas?

And the fallen Madonna with the big boobies?

And Leutnant Gruber in his "little tank", too?

Sorry, can't help. But I'd love to know what you're up to.

Not exactly what you want but in the Foundry traders and townspeople packs there are bar keeps or shop keepers which might just do?

Westwind Victorian Harlots? There's a couple in there that I use for 'generic female civilians in many periods.

I need a not-too-big French waitress too...

Oh, wait... A miniature?

Never mind. :roll:

I don't know about the waitresses, but will the bartender figure from my new Civilians pack work for the owner? I'm not sure what look you're going for so I'm just tossing random ideas out.

Oui, oui, tous les francaises étaient en la résistance! Collaboration, qu'esque c'est? Pas en France. :roll:

I can't help with the French side yet, but I've been working on the Germans.

There was some talk about these characters on the Artizan mailing list a while back. Hopefully they will appear at the back window asking us to listen very carefully soon.

A couple of Artizan models that would make a great General Von Klinkerhoffen and a Colonel Von Strohm.

Von Klinkerhoffen:

Von Strohm:

For the Other Germans, I have a Foundry model I use for Lieutenant Gruber, the hand on the hip guy from this pack:

Also I use an AGN 222 Armoured Car as the closest thing I found to the 'Little Tank with the Big Gun':

Her Flick I don't have too close a model for, the best I've found is this one from Artizan:

Next month I'm going to pick up this pack from BAM that has a nice Von Smallhausen:

Nice collection there Revford!

Cheers, I've been working on this one for a while now.

Other ideas, that I've not gotten hold of yet, the closest I've found to Helga would be one of these from Pulp Figures:
http://www.pulpfigures.com/catcode.php?range=Wierd%20Menace&code=PWM&number=2&custID=8233114401173439919

None of them a quite perfect for her though.

Bolt Action do some nice Resistance fighters:

While West Wind have a pack of French Civilians that would be perfect for wandering around Nouvion:

I like the Westwind civvies.
Any luck on Rene, Michelle and the rest of our French heroes? Not to mention the British guy posing as a French Gendarme (what was his name again?)

Here's what I'm doing:

I have Foundry and BAM Resistance fighters which I'm currently painting for Crossfire, I'll be putting my suggested rules up on my site once they're all painted.

These will be working with the British commandoes that I am also working on (1 company of RM commandoes done, 2 companies of Naval commandoes to come with kyaks)

I am about to make some WWII buildings for my Home Guard; the Bank, Jones' shop, the Novelty Rock Emporium, Church etc. and I thought I'd make a cafe for a Resistance HQ at the same time. I don't need the supporting cast, just Rene to be the resistance leader. The rest would be nice but are not strictly necessary.

I think I'll use Rich's bartender for Rene.

Once the resistance is done I'll build a German V2 or Radar base (or both) so the allies have something to raid.

Once this is all done I'll paint the last of my Germans and the remaining US figures, just some speciality packs for each side, and my Western Front forces are finished.

I hadn't planned to do all this so soon. Originally I was going to do the Home Guard because I already had the figures so I could go a month without spending anything. That was the plan, obviously I bought more commandoes and more French Resistance so the plan failed

However, since the WWII bug is still with me I will go with it while it lasts....
I expect to slide seamlessly into weird war 2 and already have some figures waiting. I was going to do Burma this year but that may have to wait as I think I'll be 'WWII'd out' after this lot is finished.

Should Artizan produce 'Ello 'Ello figures in the future I'll just add them to my pulp collection.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions!
