Title: Pulp, Back of Beyond Firefly crew
Post by: elysium64 on August 20, 2016, 01:23:44 PM: I have a silly idea of creating a group of River Pirates for my Back of Beyond Pulp games, and I thought I would look for suitable models to represent all the members of the Firefly Crew. I will be using one of the lovely HLBS boats as the Firefly.
I already have Jayne (Copplestone BoB American adventurer with BAR), thinking of converting Copplestone Mongol princess to be on foot for Inara, Copplestone Chinese Bandit Girl for River, so need a Chinese doctor (ish) figure for Simon, probably use Foundry Cossack preacher for Derrick Book, may use one of the female archeoligist figures (gun no hat) for Zoe, I need Hoban to be a river pilot so thinking of one of the Russian sailor officers.
So looking for suitable figures to represent
Mal: Adventurer with long coat and Pistol ( just thought of putting Copplestone Indy head on Tsuba bandit in long coat)
Inara: any easier/better options
Simon: Chinese doctor type
Kaylee: female engineer/mechanic
All need to be compatible with Copplestone BoB range.
Thanks for any suggestions

A bit young, but I think she's a good Kaylee --

Maybe a bit out of place in the B of B, but that's why she'd make a cool Inara --

All made by Pulp Alley -- https://store.pulpalley.com/

Also, I'd suggest combing thru Artizan's Thrilling Tales. You might some good options there. And they fit well with our Pulp Alley and the Copplestone minis.

HAVE FUN

They are intended to be the same scale. I have lots of Copplestone and Artizan, so I wanted to make sure they all play together nicely. Here's an old pic...
