Help needed - Hotel Commissionaire
« on: April 10, 2020, 01:55:01 PM »
Hi

I am trying to find a suitable figure to represent a Hotel Commissionaire to stand outside a 1920/1930s Hotel.  Any ideas?

IIRC James has a small range of Japanese Officers that also work as train conductors etc so might work as commissionaires or bellboys.
My LAF Gallery is HERE
Minis (foot & mounted) finished in 2024 = 0
(2023 = 151; 2022 = 204; 2021 = 123; 2020 = ???)

Steve,

Thanks for the suggestion. Had look on his website but I couldn't find anything that really fitted.  I was thinking more on the lines of a top hat.

They’re not on the website but if it’s a top hat you’re after then there’s this one from Knuckleduster Miniatures (Caliver is the UK agent);

Thanks. They are just what I was looking for.  Doesn't matter about the top hat if the rest fits the scene.
