Four Pulp Heroes from Statuesque Miniatures / Pulp Alley

[Curt]

Hi All,

Here is my stab at four models from Statuesque Miniatures.

From left to right: Captain P. Douglas D.S.C./R.N. (Ret.), Viki 'Dead Eye' Krueger, Major Marty 'Gimme' Mohr and Ltn. Jarmila 'The Hand' Fedorak.



More photos and some short character bios of the crew can be seen here:

I really had a great time working on these. Beautiful castings. I look forward to the upcoming Tommy Gunner and Gun Moll.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the kind words everybody, it's much appreciated.

Here is a few more shots of the individual figures plus their (rather heroic) biographies:

Captain P. Douglas D.S.C./R.N. (Ret.)


 
Captain Douglas is a grizzled veteran of the Great War where he made a reputation for himself as a hard-driving commander of a destroyer. He gained both his D.S.C and his prized 'Broomhandle' Mauser from a boarding action where he and his crew captured a light cruiser off the coast of Africa. (The same Mauser shattered his left arm, when he was wounded by the German cruisers captain.)



Viki 'Dead Eye' Krueger


 
Ms. Krueger is the daughter of a notable South African big game hunter and guide. After he was killed by a lion (a suitable end) she took over the family business. She is a rough-and-tumble character who never shies away when the path becomes perilous. Even though she lost her left eye to a pygmy dart when she was a teenager, she is still a crack shot with her pearl-handled Colt pistol.



Major Marty 'Gimme' Mohr


 
Like Douglas, Mohr is also a veteran of the First World War, but that is where the likeness ends. 'Gimme' Mohr ended his Great War as a German Stormtrooper, where he was finally captured while entering the outskirts of Paris... by himself. (From this, he has the unique distinction to have personally marked the furthest point the Imperial German army had advanced on the Western Front.) His martial skills were quickly recognized by his captors and he was quietly recruited into the secret 'League of Nations League'.



Lt. Jarmila 'The Hand' Fedorak



Jarmila is also a valued member of the elite 'League of Nations League'.  As a teenager she was a member of a Ukrainian nationalist group who fought with the Whites during the Russian Civil War. She attracted attention to herself when it was found that she could, through shear force force of will, throw devastating shock waves from her withered right hand. The League has helped her harness and focus her powers through arcane psychic training and utilizing a unique power gauntlet developed by the renown Nikola Tesla.



Again, thanks for dropping in for a look!

Regards,

Curt
