Can you identify this model? Flashman?
« on: October 18, 2007, 12:31:49 AM »




Anybody knows where this guy comes from? I've been searching for a while and thought that I would put it out there.

Are you sure of that, Pete, Hammers? It's completely different to the Wellyn Shaftsbury holding a glass that I have.

Mine looks like this:



Have they re-done it or something, perhaps?

Ah yes, I lost a part of the post. I was going to say the same.

I guess, it's a Chiltern one, they have some Flashman minis but no pics online

There are pics on the Chiltern site, but none of them match our fellow.

sorry, german forum, the guy who painted that says that Flashy is from Eureka but OOP. You can try to get him if you write Eureka

Thanks for doing all of the research guys. I will just have to try and get my hands on him. I have the "current" Shaftsbury models, but this guy  has an extra special flashy quality to him.

Gadzooks! I've never seen those Chiltern figures before.
That Flashy in poshteen and turban is definitely going to join my NW Frontier collection! Thanks.  :wink:

Don't you think they look a bit oddly-proportioned?

I love Flashy, but can't say I care for those figures overly.

The Chiltern figures are probably sculpted by Martin Baker. He's not a Copplestone nor an Owen, but he's got his own thing going.

I like the fellow with the cricket kit and the sword, and will probably use him as Polynikes in a game. Especially if Poly thinks he's odd looking.

Some of them are fine, I like the style, it's just that some seem to have tiny legs (or big heads, I'm not sure which). Unfortunately the cricketer from Flashman's Lady is one of these.

It's nice enough, though. I would probably put my misgivings aside and use it, despite what I said before.
