Nice!

I bought these just before Christmas and thought I'd do them like Shackleton's expedition.

Very nice - I still can't paint white clothing so it looks good.

My recollection is the the HLBSC figures are larger than most other Pulp ranges - even Copplestone am I right?

Very nice.  :)
What a fantasic table you could produce for Arctic Adventures. Just imagine modelling Shackleton's ill fated ship trapped in the ice. Now that would be something to behold :o   :D

I have in mind using RCMP and the hunter/tracker figures that HLBS also do for some adventure or other set in the Great White North.

I have a Noordyn Norseman part built and am yet to decide whether to put it on ski's, floats or wheels. I was thinking of a hunting/boating shack with jetty and possibly having the plane with floats frozen in the lake???????

The great thing about all these minis is their timelessness - they are suitable for Victoriana right through WWII which gives them so much scope

these skiers are a tiny bit larger but most of the range is pretty much copplestone size, they do an alternative driver for the copplestone sled in fact.

I am working on some British and American command at the moment and will possibly do a comparison pic when they are finished
