Title: P_Clapham's 1/72 Pulp miniatures
Post by: P_Clapham on March 13, 2018, 12:10:16 AM: Miniatures from a variety of manufacturers

I was drawn to 1/72 scale miniatures from the cost and how well they scale with toy dinosaurs. The German officer is from Revell's German Engineers set. Not sure where I got the dinosaur.

Dinosaur from the impulse buy section at Target. The adventurer from Caesar Miniatures WW II Partisans.

I tried to go with a more colorful look for the carnivores.

This isn't going to end well.

The big game hunter.

Toysmith sells a pretty good dinosaur set with a couple of prehistoric mammals. The young lady is from Caesar Miniatures Hebrew Warrior set.

Adaptasaurus from the Toysmith set.

(https://scontent.fbed1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/29132904_10155667137928143_5581275906199758238_n.jpg?oh=bb34c575aa7ea9ec8503859448871c79&oe=5B3DB4FF)
Unsure where this dinosaur came from.

(https://scontent.fbed1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/29133851_10155667137648143_744348139186806241_n.jpg?oh=10b790234ded62b8ef0f8c5452bb18eb&oe=5B44793E)
For only a few cents these figures were pretty good. I love the dynamic pose of this dino.

Caesar Miniatures WW II Partisans. I wish there were more sets like this one. High quality armed civilians.

Redbox miniatures does produce a Boxer Rebellion Volunteers and Police/Gangsters/Armed Civilians set, but the quality does not approach the Caesar Miniatures figures.

(https://scontent.fbed1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/29103500_10155667115803143_3020049100436019195_n.jpg?oh=f794fdeab138a73e74f9550157777da1&oe=5B34FD72)
Here is a comparison shot between the two lines.

(https://scontent.fbed1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/29101160_10155667115943143_1240173025533006381_n.jpg?oh=8fcd72544c7c651b926079b23b21bc91&oe=5B47B45F)
These figures are best used as filler or background characters.

Some of the gangster miniatures were quite small. I think they are meant to be a boy's street gang.

Short but dapper.

Post by: Codsticker on March 13, 2018, 02:23:58 AM: Good to see someone exploring different scales for this genre. Another advantage to 1/72 is there is A LOT more terrain features available thanks to HO model railroading.

Post by: d phipps on March 13, 2018, 03:43:41 AM: Excellent work!
Title: Re: P_Clapham's 1/72 Pulp miniatures
Post by: Elk101 on March 13, 2018, 06:43:28 AM: As Codsticker says, it's always good to see different scales in use and the creativity people show in their use of figures.

Post by: Redmao on March 13, 2018, 01:04:42 PM: Fantastic.
1/72 figures are great and Caesar's Partisans sets make great adventurers.

Post by: BillK on March 14, 2018, 06:54:36 PM: Great stuff. :)

Love the wooly mammoth, or mastadon, or whatever that is with the big tusks.

Given the subject matter you may want to check out the 1:72/20mm white metal figures from Force20 Miniatures (sold online by Covert Intervention Games) since they have explorers, dock workers, partisans, gangsters, and other figures that seem to fit-in your scenarios.

Post by: Umpapa on April 03, 2018, 10:10:05 PM: I love them!

I also love 20 mm /1:72 mm pulp.

The Scorpion Man and Pharaoh are from the Age of Mythology board game. The sword and spear weilding mummies came from the Armies of Arcana game.

Same here. Could be a herbivore or carnivore.
