I think this is the right board for them, but please shift them if they'd be more comfortable in the VSF section or something.

The tartan is Brill :-* :-* :-*
Are the bases home made or bought?

Post by: Captain Blood on 27 December 2011, 05:08:39 PM: Like them, Rob :)
I've painted a few of those myself recently...
The bases are rather good too. Set the figures off a treat.

Mac - bases are resin ones from Fenris Games.

'The Help' looks like one tough cookie. I wouldn't want to argue with her about what time I'd want my tea! lol

Post by: Melnibonean on 27 December 2011, 09:39:51 PM: Fantastic work all 'round.
'Er Majesty (Gawd Bless 'Er) looks like she means business. Don't know if she needs the undercover security. :D

Title: Re: Agents of the Crown
Post by: JollyBob on 27 December 2011, 10:21:16 PM: Many thanks all. :)

I'm considering revisiting DC Barker and adding a five o'clock shadow to make it a bit more obvious that he's a bloke in a frock, but I'm a little scared I'll make a mess of it.

Post by: Mister Rab on 27 December 2011, 10:46:46 PM: Very nice, sir! Is Mr Brown a Foundry figure, too?
Title: Re: Agents of the Crown
Post by: JollyBob on 27 December 2011, 10:50:38 PM: Thanks. No, he's from Crusader miniatures, their Old West range.
Title: Re: Agents of the Crown
Post by: Marine0846 on 29 December 2011, 04:57:30 PM: All the figures look great.
Really love the tartan on Mr. Brown.

Thanks - ah yes, from the Foreigners pack:

Actually, all three of those would work in a VSF setting. Hmm....

EDIT - bought them. Shouldn't drink and web-surf, eh?

I'm a bit concerned with the amount of fire arms though, Victorian London is the USA of today ;)
Title: Re: Agents of the Crown
Post by: HPFlashman on 17 January 2012, 11:41:10 PM: Cant find the link for it, but in a rather famous bankrobbery over in UK, the policemen that gave chase on the robbers, was lent several firearms from the public, whom of some also gave armed chase alongside the Police... :D

So all in all, I wouldnt underestimate the general notion that carrying something or the other for self preservation was unheard of. ;)

Luvely figures and paint, BTW... :-*

Post by: Red Orc on 07 February 2012, 05:37:47 PM: I think the event you're thinking of had something to do with the Seige of Sydney Street... if my memory serves me, some time previously, some (?Lithuanian) anarchists had attempted an armed 'expropriation' and were being pursued by several policemen, who indeed borrowed firearms from passers-by. maybe this was about 1908, or maybe 1911. Something like that. I have a feeling guns were a lot more common on the streets before maybe the 1920s than people realise.

Works well in both, methinks, and such fine effort would shine in either. There are so many things about this forum I prefer to TMP, but this item makes the cross-posting option almost worthwhile. Almost, but, with some dreck that gets spread hither-and-yon, not quite.

By the way, trying a new avatar for a bit. Grandchildren were telling my daughter a story, where they were saving her from the evil wizard. Me. Had to try it out. ;->=

Post by: JollyBob on 10 February 2012, 11:53:18 AM: And thanks again, chaps. :)

I thought these few minis would scratch my gothic itch, but it's ony made it worse. Have plans for a few more now... ::)

Post by: Doug ex-em4 on 10 February 2012, 04:09:53 PM: I had a feeling that it wasn't until sometime round the beginning of the First World War that it became necessary to have a licence for a firearm in the UK. Must do some Googling...

Post by: mattblackgod on 10 February 2012, 04:43:05 PM: I read that too. There was a fear that all those men returning from the front may be disillusioned and may form a ready made (possibly Communist) army of rebellion especially as Ireland rebelled.
