I've added some pictures of the Pulp Miniatures Istambul Constabulary to my Pulp Adventures Album, although mine will be stationed 'up country' from Cairo.

*groan*  lol

Nice minis, though.  I think the base needs a little more, but the minis are really nice.

Certainly a different paint scheme than I have usually seen. Only thing I might suggest is to finish the base up a bit more...it looks a bit patchy for Cairo, otherwise looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

I think that for pulp era, the correct colour should be:
white coat in summer
beige/khaki coat in winter
pants are always darker .

Anyhow your minis are great!

Thanks for that, but in all my Pulp games the police are in blue. I confess to no interest at all in what colour the historical Cairo Police force wore, this is a PULP game, not a wargame, and they are toys/tokens. I wish I'd painted them pink now, just to annoy more people.... ;)

Pink police officers, do you realise how many painted soldiers that would so clash with?
