Title: An Honourable Call for Worthy Suggestions
Post by: Rufus T. Firefly on March 15, 2011, 04:47:37 PM: What-ho all,
I'm currently hunting some rather specific models, here's my shopping list - help would be appreciated :) All 28mm, by the way

French Gendarme, 30-40s styley
Nazi officer, preferably high ranked, (easy enough, I hear you cry?) in a relaxed, non-military pose (and there's the catch)
A portly waiter (this is low priority, the other two I must have)

I wish, oh how I wish, I could tell you what it's for - but I'd rather keep it to myself for now. But, if anyone is interested, just keep your eye on the LPL...

P.S. Apologies if this post is in entirely the wrong place, but I coudn't think of where else it might go. Do admonish me if I've made a forum fopar.

Artizan have all the figures you are describing.

Nah, just places I can buy them from. And thanks, I'll take a look

@Damas
My god! That is an even better idea than the one I originally had - now shush, or I'm going to end up dropping everything and doing that instead...I going to have to do it now though...pssh.

@Bezzo
SSSSSSHHHHH

Going to have get some cake in for him

and fine wine, of course...

Or have a look at the site of Black Tree Design (http://www.blacktreedesign.com/restofworld/home.php?cat=2536) for an officer...
And there's the German Staff from West Wind (http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=3_13&products_id=1003)

Post by: aliensurfer on March 15, 2011, 06:32:38 PM: Would where you are going with this at some stage possibly involve a stolen painting?

Post by: Rufus T. Firefly on March 15, 2011, 06:56:27 PM: @Hauptgefreiter
Aha! Thank you for that. I'd seen Westwind, but I wasn't too keen on spending £8.50 on one model unless I absolutely have to

@Aliensurfer
Yes, one with big boobies.

Also, would you like me to lick your massage? Only once of course.

Post by: achab on March 16, 2011, 07:53:04 AM: You may want to check Pulp Figures. German range has a cool nazi officer in the Zeppelin crew. Gangland justice, in the Surly servant pack, has a Butler that would made a decent waiter.

Post by: Rufus T. Firefly on March 16, 2011, 08:55:34 AM: Yes, I've had a look at them. Rather nice (must contrive a reason to get some of them!), but the Germans don't quite fit the tone. The butler is rather good though, I might well get it.
