Edited 27th August 2019.
I am going to use this thread as WIP for game.
You can find the main story in other adventures area. Very uncivil war.
Hi need your help please.
I need a female figure as modern leader of country governing body.
Tried to buy Mrs Thatcher from Mike bravo, but had to start PayPal appeal to get money back after no figures or reply for 2 months.
Seen world leader pack, with Mrs May, but have no use for male figures so that seems waste of money.
Thankyou.

There is the Mrs June from bad Squido games

I am looking for news reporters, tv crew or war correspondents in 28mm.
Please don’t suggest Mikebravo tried ordering from him, but having no luck after 8 weeks. Still trying to get money back. Shame they are nice figures.
Any other suggestions welcome.

This one is an excellent miniature:

There is also a cameraman in the same range, marked as Out of stock currently but em4 tend to restock quickly.

You can counter that one with the Brook figures from Hasslefree.

Arthur is seething, having heard a rumour about Mrs June.
Can you advice me where to post my project based on suburban unrest in the UK. Cross between mines strike, poll tax riots, football hooligans and current problem.

The mods will have the final say, but I would say (avoiding the current day - see pre 2000 in the sticky at the top), here is the place.

Work in progress.
Need something stupid country can fall out about. Like should we use pounds or kilogram. Sterling or euro. Drive on left or right.
Or without saying what the in’s against the out’s.
This goes to referendum and guess what. To close to call.
Trouble coming Mr Arkwright.

Don't know if the Under Fire minatures Reaver 2025 is too close for comfort. But it offers some ideas for a fight. http://www.underfireminiatures.com/page2.htm
-
Nice idea, but that’s to much of a risk even for me. Nice figures shame they are only 20mm.
Snorker wars. The sausage vs the frankfurter.
Think may go simple.
Red vs blue. Out’s vs in’s and not go into much detail.

Figures just arrived from black cat bases. Normally don’t read any gubbins that comes with it. However this amused me, especially putting thingy in box with other wotsits. Doesn’t every wargames do this then forget about the for several years.

Mick from Switzerland has peeked my interest again.
So going to use this thread as WIP for main project.
Finished off figure a got a eBay for very expensive price of 99p.
Now taken photo need to re-do flesh on face, looks more undead than living.

Nice figure and also useful for VBCW

Looking for 28mm punk rockers without gun.
Colonel Bill does nice lady punk, so she needs some friends.
Seen plenty in post apocalyptic but all have hand guns, rifles or machine guns.
Need some for good old Friday night punch up with skin heads outside Trouser and Ferret.

Brilliant, they’ve got Wolfie Smith. 👍

All the Punks, Skins and Goths you could want:
https://corehammer.bigcartel.com
From the "Wild in the Streets" range
-
Have a look at Hasslefree, there are a number there.
-
Could only find HFA045 Joe in Hasslefree range as Punk figure.
Have I missed some.
Must have Frank figure though.
-
Casting room miniatures have punk figures In their street fighters range:
https://www.castingroomminiatures.com/collections/street-fighters
And some offensive miniatures rioters would work as punks...

Looking for help from other painters.
I have my first group of Aggro skinheads.
Any suggestions on how to paint the fine short cropped hair from number one clippers, and best colours to use. This is my attempt and not happy with it. As I have another 9 to paint for the gang, would like to get right before painting next one.
-
I just use watered down dark browns, mid browns, red leather. Thin paint blends better. With a small brush i wipe off most of the paint then lightly stipple the hair shape. It creates a spotty looking texture that i feel works quite well. One of mine is here http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=118657.0
-
"Thank you for link. Do you have a tuition on how you paint your flesh."
How to paint stuff is very difficult without seeing it done. These are the colours i use and the mixes. It's then a matter of playing around with the blends. The method looks really complicated, but once the colours are on the pallet it all becomes clear.
These are all Vallejo paints. I'll start from the darkest to the lightest.
Shadows Flesh 343.
Then: 50/50 mix Shadows Flesh 343, Flesh Base 341.
Then: Flesh Base 341.
Then: 50/50 Flesh Base 341, Flat Flesh 955
Then: Flat Flesh 955 and a very small amount of Highlights Flesh 342 for the top highlights on the nose and cheekbones.
If you want to add the bottom lip, i think it's worth it ;)
Use Cavalry Brown 982 Then highlight it with Cavalry Brown 982 and Medium Fleshtone 860.
Hope this helps ;)

Latest addition start of “the bill.”
Messers Quinnan and Stamp. However looking at their uniforms more like Weir and Smith.
Z cars to you youngsters.

“‘Ere Sarge, it looks like someone has had it away with our bikes!”

He’s not sarge anymore. I filed his stripes off. Just plain old PC Plod.😃

I’ve no idea who Quinnan and Stamp are but Fancy Smith definitely had a flat hat....

Still not sure what to do about buildings.
Only bought one so far Sarissa. It will have to be edge of board builds as they do not have a rear door. Also they only come with room divides for one floor.
If I scratch build where is the best place to buy doors and windows from (28mm).
-
I’m after modern U.K. police vehicles and ambulance for use with 28mm figures. I have bought 3 on internet so far only to receive them and find they are either to large or small.
Suggests please.
I live in U.K. so nothing from to far abroad. Can’t afford postage these days.

Well, Spectre have 1/50 scale car and luxury SUV which should be good for British police vehicles.

You should be able to find 1/43 Battenburg transfers somewhere.

Do anyone know if you can get the “open all hours” figures in the U.K. Arkwright, Granville and nurse Gladys. Think it’s company in the states that makes them.

Some nice figures to add to my mob and police there.
New year order coming up.

Just broke my own golden rule of painting new figures before ordering more. Orders to killer bee and offensive miniatures today. Need to build up my number of protesters without weapons.
Question to those that scratch build. I want to fill part of board with terrace houses. About 8 either side of road. This will be expensive if buying ready made, so going to give it a go myself.
So where will I find 28mm scale doors and windows to buy. UK.

Depends on how modern you want - Metvests for that "Rivers of London" look?
Crooked Dice Minions might fit for medics etc.

Does anyone know of stockist of Left Hand Miniatures in the U.K.
Just seen their modern workers. More rioters.
-
Just a tip. You can expand the range of civilian figures a bit by using some of the 1/50 plastic architectural figures you find in art shops. As these are properly scaled, ie tall and slender, you do need to carry out a little surgery, trimming a millimetre or two just above the knee to get the to match your typical gaming figure. Female figures in skirts are the easiest, as it gives you a natural line to cut and the skirt naturally disguises your surgery.
The detail can be a little soft but often they have poses you won’t find in wargaming minis.
In similar vein, surgery on 1/48 hard plastic figures can yield good results. The Hasegawa US ground crew kits have plenty of useful figures in overalls, shirts and trousers with bare heads and ball caps.
-
This started as the bright blue pond/lake from battlefield in a box.
Problem was I applied the liquid water to thickly. Took over 4 months to set properly.
Then I forgot about it. So the base started to curl.
Tried bending back, but started to crack water effect. Now weighted down with heavy object, see if that works.
-
A few years ago, I remember finding a site that did transfers for U.K. emergency vehicles.
I need to covert white ambulance into a St. John’s one. 28mm scale.
-
There are a number of places that do transfers for 1/43 scale vehicles, I do not have the links to hand.
You may want plain Battenburg (vanilla and lime flavour, not vanilla and blueberry) if you are using smaller scale vehicles.
