Title: Figures in Tyrolean/Bavarian Dress?
Post by: Plynkes on 24 September 2007, 01:29:31 PM
28mm, of course. Anybody seen anything of this sort? Civilians in Alpine-style clothes? Lederhosen, etc.

Kids, too. Possibly a governess and the seven children of an Austro-Hungarian naval captain? You know the kind of thing. I've only a vague purpose for them in mind, but they really are the kind of figures you feel you just need. A collection is incomplete without them.

Eureka has a couple of Bavarian wind up merchants for their Pax Limpopo:

And Cannon Fodder has this charming fellow ( to the left) in native costume:

There's a RAFM set of Hansel and Gretel with two children in Tyolean garb on one base (also a witch, and an oven).

I have a tyrolean gamekeeper figure, but it's one of those "Got it in a job lot" types, and I've no idea of the maker. It's not that good.

Are you planning on a "Catch the Von Trapps!" game. Long table, family held up by small children with short legs, Nuns against Nazis etc?

Make them sing a song from the musical if they want bonus movement.
