Title: Best Hanson Cab
Post by: psyberwyche on 30 March 2010, 08:57:07 AM

Cor Blimey, mates, can anyone 'elp a cockerney sparra?

[Ahem]...

I'm looking for a good Hansom Cab model to use in a gothic horror game - I've found two in 28mm, but as I live in the UK I can't find a local supplier. Rather than buy sight unseen, I wondered if anyone here owns one or both of them, and could tell me which is the better model? The minis are:

and

http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=2_34&products_id=322

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have the Eureka and it's rather good.

I also have a set of tentacles I want to have waving out of the windows but I haven't had the time or courage to do it yet.

I have both. :D
The Eureka one I think is the better model, it has better proportions and looks more like the real thing.

The good news is you can get it in the UK via Fighting 15's who sell all the Eureka stuff here in the UK :)
