inspired by that great book

My version. The girls are to paint. Now i need the guys, any ideas about some suitable minis?

And i need another Rolls Royce one...

just to mention, the guys should wear uniform...

I´ve got four indian army officers by Copplestone right here on my workbench...

... which I got from you. Now THAT´S irony! :

Seriously, I´d look into either those Copplestones or maybe Artizan Brits in Africa?

Oh, and that´s a lovely little Rollie you´ve got there. One thing, though, you might consider deepening the contrasts on the Vickers MG? It looks a little bland, if very true to the comic... just as a focal point for the car. It´s all very much "tone-in-tone".

The chap on the right looks like my father during the war.
I don't think anyone does a miniature of him though.

yup, I have thought about today

unfortunately the Brigade ones have all their helmets

looks like I need that brits again

though this Foundry Africa one would work

too late for the MG, the car is varnished with lots of layers. Maybe the next Rollie!

Must be from a discontinued pack. Couldn't find it anywhere on the Foundry site. But we all know how I search for an elephant, eh Prof? :wink:

I can't find it, too, Maybe really discontinued. Cool. I have a rare one

I thought I had that same one as the Proff. but I might be confusing him with this Copplestone "Jolly Good Chaps":

Mark Copplestone seems to be recycling quite a few poses... :-)

Some ideas for British officers:

BAM

Artizan

Crusader

BTD

Renegade

The last time I saw him, AFAIK the guy with the webley has been an extra when you bought a whole collection (together with two chaps on chairs).

I got mine back in 1998 in one of the Darkest Africa ">insert suitable adjective< Adventurers" packs. I´ve checked with their page, the new "six-packs" do not include this figure.

Why not look at the Brigade games ANZAC Command in campaign attire and maybe a head conversion utilising the LRDG head set.

The ladies look good

God Bless

Of all the pics I posted above, I think the Renegade guy with the revolver (extreme right) works best. But you'll have to convert his riding breeches into normal trousers and cover up the boots.
