PREVIEW PICS OF 1970'S COPS AND BLAGGERS!!!!!

A geordie in the truest sense is someone born within spitting distance of the Tyne river.Those from Sunderland are known as Mackems.

As regards Jack Carter, he wasn't born in Newcastle he was a cockney who came up North to get revenge for his brother's murder.


I'm pretty sure it didn't say in the film he was originally from the area? :?:

Anyway. Imagine trying to model the Gateshead multi-storey car park  :lol:

Hah, finally released the pics!
I especially like the faces, there are some real strong Sweeney influences there.
I'll have to get cracking on that unmarked Flying Squad van ( aka Ford transit Mk1)

Have you sorted out the hat yet Craig?

Ah yes, the American release, stay tuned folks as although the British version is written, the style and content are not as easy to translate to the American streets as effectively as I originally hoped.

Its not just a case of changing slang words, the whole text is written in a particularly British way.

The U.S. rules will be coming however. By the end of the year!!!!!!!

That's a promise from Captain Gamma, and I can't lie as a Proton Ranger never lies! :)

Now to watch all of my 1970s cop shows and movies again. :freak:

I picked up a book at the weekend "Horses Arse" a good fun read but if you dont like bad language or are PC certainly not for you very crude but also funny and ideal for Geezer each Chapter a scenario

Good spot re:the book Lowtardog!!!!!!

I went straight out and bought it. :love:

As regards the Geezer miniatures I have just sent a batch of new designs to the sculptor. These include:

2 U.S. Detectives
cockney hitman (with North East connections)
3 Uniformed Police officers
3 Generic blagger types


I think you will like them. :wink:

Captain,

I hope we will see a certain pair of pistol totting CI5 lads and their cantankerous boss?  Perhaps with a glass of single Malt in his hand?  :lol:

Can't wait for the miniaturers and the game.

These figures sound great

The book has some seriously stereotypical coppers

The brothers Grimm
Bovril
Pizza
The Blister etc

Travelling man:

Hmmm CI5? Never heard of it. :wink:

There will most certainly be two Police agents though.One of them will have curly hair and the other a liking for Bovril. :)
