Is anyone aware of a good, 1920-30s, southern baptist preacher type miniature?
-
Heresy has this one in its SF range:

Not really 30's but not specialy modern either.
Citadel did a couple of nice priests back in the 80's, but they might be hard to find.

You mean the fat, whitehaired and whiteteethed man in a suit with southern/texas cut type?
-
There is a good one in the Call of Cthulhu range. It is part of the three stage charactor pack of priests. I painted him up as a Zombie though.

Possible:
Reaper miniatures:
50081: Father Thomas, Vicar

..., pastel shirt, whitened teeth, good hair, smells of burbon and breath freshener, has an ex-pageant winning, D-cup assistant called Bobby-Jane

A nice new one made by Mr Hicks:

How about this guy from Knuckleduster (the fellow pointing): http://www.knuckleduster.com/store/cart.php?target=product&product_id=377&category_id=30
Sure, he's from an old west collection, but I think he'll fit in the 20s and 30s South just fine painted up in white togs.
If you're looking specifically for Southern Baptist, I suggest a miniature pointing with a Bible rather than a crucifix.
-
Aye, a bible is essential.
-
Musketeer makes a nice one in the VBCW civilians 2 pack. Not bible tought.

There's the new Deadlands one from Reaper:

This was my pick...
Hallelujah, praise the Lord!

Thanks, dl. A lot of old slugs in that collection...

From the Pulp threads (sorry about the re-post ;)):
He has that "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" look
Hi,
Today we have 3 new scuplts by the very talented Paul Hicks.
A priest:

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. ;)

I am looking for one less Catholic/Catholic Light (Anglican) and more like this:

Yeah, it would be nice if someone put out a fat man is summer suit, string tie, and straw hat. Preferably with a mason jar in one hand and a raised bible in the other.
-
Will you be painting him with that gaudy shirt?! Please, say yes :D ;)
-
Apologies for being a bit late to the party. The larger of these gentlemen might make a convincing preacher - possibly with a substitution of a bible for his brollie:

More possibilities:
How about this classic Grenadier, available from Mirliton (the prof with lantern) - just carve off the lantern hand and replace with a pointed fingered hand:

Take the middle figure in the following set, replace the Maltese falcon with that mason jar, shorten the tie and split it for that shoestring. Mold on a book to replace the pocket bulge of the other hand. Give him a nice straw topper if you want to. Then again, it wouldn't be difficult to carve off the whole tie to create a preacher's collar if you wanted that instead. I rather think the whole look would be rather Amish-looking with that mason jar, but Amish aren't likely to be porky. I'd probably use a donation box instead:

If you plan to hack up your Grenadiers, think twice, unless they're Mirliton casts. The old Grenadiers are worth more.
My idea of a Bible-thumping evangelist is more to the lanky build. They've too much energy to stay chubby.
My second favorite Bible-thumper is the first fellow in RAFM's set, but he's not very southern Baptist looking (my favorite still being the aforementioned Reaper 50081 Father Thomas):

http://www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RAF&Product_Code=RAF02915&Category_Code=COCM
RAFM also has a professor that could fit, but he's not nearly ascetic-looking (mind you, he does come in three flavours:
RAF02902 Professor
(http://www.rafm.com/images/product/COCMPC/02902.jpg)
http://www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RAF&Product_Code=RAF02902&Category_Code=COCM
The doctor on call in this set might do if you replace the bag with a Bible:
RAF02901 Doctor
(http://www.rafm.com/images/product/COCMPC/02901.jpg)
http://www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RAF&Product_Code=RAF02901&Category_Code=COCM
I do like the em4, BCB, and Citadel Gothic Horror figures mentioned already.

This one is good in many ways. It's a pity the early Murch stuff is banana armed and scrawny. A good paintjob can sometimes help that.
