I need to find some figures....

[matakishi]

Okay, I've tried ordering the townsfolk and the dockers from Rattrap and the postage on $20.00 worth of figures is $16.75.

Does anyone have these in the UK?

Try emailing Rich.  I'm sure he can work something out.

I get my Rattrap stuff from Leisure Games, they don't seem to carry the models yet, but maybe they could help?

I just sent you a PM Matakishi. Still trying to get the store to accept small envelopes and not just packages (which doubles the shipping cost).

all sorted, thanks a lot Rich

There are some Resistance types here: http://www.victoryforce.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=VFM&Category_Code=RandC

A possible one for the brave girls of the Resistance? http://www.victoryforce.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=VFM&Product_Code=28035&Category_Code=RandC

Sadly the VF miniatures are too big, I've squeezed some into my US forces where they're ok with the BTD troops (just) but the Resistance fighters are all quite small, especially the Foudry ones.

My packet of figures arrived from Rich today!! Thanks very much Rich, and thans for the extra figure too      

Sadly the barman is very small, even against the Foundry chaps and looks like a midget next to the BAM figures. Doesn't bode well for a charismatic leader (yes, Hitler was short, and Napoleon, I know, Time Bandits etc.).
I fear the search for a Rene continues.......

Hi, have you considered using the cook from this German Field Kitchen

Just a thought

I would suggest using the figures from Hasselfree Miniatures' Villager line:

http://hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/range.php?range_id=22

The Barman, Barwench, and Strumpet would be particularly useful, but the Old Man, Old Woman, Bar Patron, and Children could all be used to help set the scene. I know that you were just asking about a waitress and bartender, but you know that you really need a strumpet too :mrgreen: ... and what a strumpet this one is!  :love:

(although the clothing could be fantasy or medieval, it seems like paint could stretch the usefulness of these figures into the 20th Century, maybe...  )

Another option might be to adapt the Haitian civilians from Brigade Games Carribean Empires line:

http://www.brigadegames.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=BG-CEN002&Category_Code=BGHMCE&Product_Count=6

The figures could be painted as whites, or the figures could be painted as black and the place could be called the Cafe Hatian (or the Cafe Senegal, or the Cafe Madegascar, etc.).  Definately a waitress in that pack, with a guy who could work behind the bar, and another woman who could sing or work behind the bar.  The kids are just a bonus...

The field kitchen chap is pretty good but it's an expensive set just for the one figure. The Hasslefree figures are not suitable unfortunately.

I saw the Haitians the other day and nearly went for them but decided against it.

I will paint the 45 Adventures figure and he will do. I'll pad his base a little

Thanks for all the suggestions!
