70s-80 US cops

[Inkpaduta]

Looking for 28mm uniformed street cops or SWAT that would work for the 1970s and 1980s US.
Where should I look?

Thanks

West Wind's ROADKILL range (they're actually 32mm miniatures, designed to go well with 1:43 die cast model cars):

They're totally 80s and very nice minis IMHO!

Wargames Foundry have some nice stereotypical cops in their Street Violence range, one is even eating a donut!





The SWAT teams are too modern, though. You would need the type of SWAT teams that are seen in those old 70s and early 80s movies which were dudes in black jumpsuits with bulky black body armor and black baseball caps wielding M16 rifles.

For regular cops, try Crooked Dice:

I would second Steve F's suggestion, and add the Hero Cops to the list.

I think thats more for robustness in casting them. Rather than realism. They are gorgeous figs I am hoping to get round to painting mine soon.

Crooked Dice Hero Cop A.

They are excellent figures.

For SWAT, you could use the X-Commandos.



They have the Helmeted heads added, there are baseball caps in the Cop ranges.

Other SWAT, Crossover Miniatures Police with helmets.



William Killian for scale. The leader has a Hasslefree MP5 added.

Studio Miniatures does a couple in their Survivors range...
