Suitable Figure for Chinese Warlord General
« on: 06 August 2023, 11:51:50 AM »
Of course we have this from the inimitable Coplestone range.



Are there any suitable alternative candidates, matching the Copplestone figures, more or less  ::), that have a more general-in-the-field look?

Similar to this.

Maybe one of the officers or NCOs from the Eureka WW2 range?

Thanks.  I wasn't aware of this range.  The cap won't work for me though.  Too KMT Nationalist Army.  Won't fit well with my Copplestone figures.

The uniform looks a bit German.  Maybe a WW1 or FPW officer would do, or perhaps a white Russian.  Either as is or with a little conversion like a head-swap.  The guy with the binoculars from this set might work nearly as is.  Maybe file off the iron cross around his neck and paint him in Chinese colours.

Perhaps Pulp miniatures China Station range may have something suitable,they also have a set of officers in their Mex Rev range,might find a character mini there that could work?
Sorry can't do links  :-*
Good hunting  :)

Thanks chaps.  I think I have in my pile another Renegade Miniatures officer unpainted. 



That might make for an easy conversion.  (And the OOP Renegade match well with Copplestone.)

They have this pack - https://pulpfigures.com/products/view/271
Great figure, but I fear a bit more Pulp than might be desired?

Are the Mexican officers also mentioned
