Title: Help needed - Hotel Commissionaire
Post by: Hu Rhu on April 10, 2020, 02:55:01 PM

Hi

I am trying to find a suitable figure to represent a Hotel Commissionaire to stand outside a 1920/1930s Hotel.  Any ideas?

IIRC James has a small range of Japanese Officers that also work as train conductors etc so might work as commissionaires or bellboys.

Steve,

Thanks for the suggestion. Had look on his website but I couldn't find anything that really fitted.  I was thinking more on the lines of a top hat.

They’re not on the website but if it’s a top hat you’re after then there’s this one from Knuckleduster Miniatures (Caliver is the UK agent);

Thanks. They are just what I was looking for.  Doesn't matter about the top hat if the rest fits the scene.
