I believe a certain someone has painted them up already ;)

The mounted ones at least cover some gaps

Post by: joroas on 08 April 2011, 12:17:44 PM: Phil, my police officers are all Artizan 1930ish, nice sculpts, but I have noticed a few folk asking for the Victorian ones and the mounted ones fill a gap in the market.............

They had said they would be strictly limited at the time, obviously not. I'm glad I can order some of these figs without getting the big sets or on e-bay at last.

It would be fun to finally run the 'Sydney Street Siege' that was described in the battles section on the Major General's site.

The Mounted Police look nicer I have to say, but then, what's not to like about 'Victorian' oddments in Pulp games?

However, against the tide, I dislike the the penny-farthing policemen!

Post by: paintedlead on 29 December 2011, 04:14:55 AM: Did anyone ever measure these up for you? the wheel height is 22mm and the handlebars 30mm, not sure how that fits in with Eureka.
I have some photos of the minis on my blog
