The middle figure in this RAFM "Call of Cthulhu" pack is based on a photo of Crowley in his robes:

Steve, you are a mind of information...
Many thanks...

Although I would like one of him wearing an overcoat and a top hat!
Any more suggestions?

I need a figure similar to the Fat Controller from Thomas the Tank Engine...
( Although just typing that has made me think of Ringo stars voice in a VERY different way)

Victorian gentlemen in top hats - there should be lots.

I really enjoyed painting Eureka's "Hungarian Ambassador."

I like Orctraders suggestion... as I have seen the "Hungarian Ambassador" before I thought him a little too comic book for Mr Crowley...
 Nice top hat though...

Although Im still not sure ANY of the suggestions are right for a 20th C Mr Crowley....
Its the whole top hats in the 20's and 30's thing....

And Orctraders suggestions, although excellent looking figures are afterall, victorian...

Little bit of remodeling on the hat and maybe alter his right hand to a more "occult" gesture...? Or just clip it off and pop it back on the other way round. Naughty Aleister!

Actually, Churchill often did it the other way 'round too!
