Anything with burlesque in it gets my vote!  ;D

Gotto be honest with ya... Getting the miniatures for it is what's the real attraction for this project.  :P  :D

How I understand you! :)

during my "samurai" project I also felt that... trying to find particular minis is a hobby by itself! :) and a very interesting one, if I may add!
Cheers,
Pedro

Eureka has some clowns with cleavers. Are you thinking of West Wind? Bit too cartoonish for my tastes. I've found some other stuff...

A burlesque needs music and I thought a gramophone (phonograph) would be a nice centerpiece for the lorry stage. I slapped this together with a soldering iron, some brass sheet and some plasticard.






Now I only need to find a way to graft some sinful Negro music onto the little 78 so the girls have something to wriggle to. Perhaps some Fats Waller or Cab Calloway or some Ragtime by Blind Willie McTell. Or some Argentinian brothel tango for a bit of exoticism

Chappie in his cricket whites is just there for size comparison, he's just a new recruit for the AVBCW Totleigh in the Wold Volunteer Grenadiers (Many thanks, Svennn!). The gramophone is a bit large, as you can  see, but you'll just have too think of it as an early gettoblaster.

Slapped together my a$$.

Hammers, the only way I am going to forgive you for that amazing gramaphone is if you do a second, and mail it to me directly here in the States. Otherwise, I will remain irritable...

And of course my wife reads over my shoulder and asks "So how will they know the difference? You're always irritable."

If I didn't love her so much....
