Charlie Foxtrot do a great Pub and some other bits that might be useful.  They're great buildings.

I would heartily second that, in the VBCW and World War Two ranges there are buildings that would most certainly stand the test of time and look right in a modern setting.

If you are still after footbal hooligans try Aggro Miniatures from Ainsty Castings:

Yes, aggro mini’s set me off on this project. There was allot going on in U.K. at time, so thought I would have ago at civil unrest.
Problem being lost interest in wargaming for couple of years. No one near to game with. But things changing now, moving south to be near son and grandkids.

Started looking at sites again, need to get back into painting, bet most have dried up now.
This is going to be my work in progress thread.
Will start story next year on different thread.

So as not to cause problems the two sides will be the YES or NO’s, fore or against. In’s or out’s and for easy reference on gaming board, reds vs blues by colour of arm bands.

Please keep the suggestion coming, looking at crooked dice earlier, even figures from apocalyptic games can work.

Red lion very nice, like the rendering to first floor. Ordering next week. Thank you.

Thankyou.
Collecting less violent figures first.
Need to make some crowds. Mainly football hooligans, skin heads, punks etc.

Wild in The Streets by Slow Death Games has some great figures for antisocial youth subcultures, including a punk gang and a set of skinheads including one waving a football scarf. As far as I can see they were sold in the UK by Corehammer and are currently out of stock but an internet search might bring up some in stock somewhere.

Thanks Binky, one to watch for future, regrettably their site says “sold out” across whole range.

IIRC they're either running, or just run, a kickstarter, so that's probably why everything's marked sold out.

Red lion pub arrived, good job not blue recycling bin day, as postie put it in there whilst I was away.

Questions. How do you do the white top half of pub and second what glue is recommended. Last one I made came undone after a few years, in box awaiting repair.

Ordinary PVA to stick it all together and whatever your preferred method of render for the top half. There's an excellent how to for the Red Lion on the Charlie Foxtrot Website.

Just a tip and not a commentary on the specific kit, I don't have any CF models. A strip of balsa glued into the interior angles of the corners of the building, adds to the strength of the joins and also helps square the angles.

PVA glue is what I have used on most of my MDF structures. I did use a stronger wood filler/ adhesive on a couple and perhaps ironically, they were the ones to come apart at the seams, albeit mostly as part of a move and poor storage.

I really like those Casting Room Miniatures. I have modified quite a few of them for my Mean Streets: War in Gang-infested Cities games (http://www.firstcommandwargames.com/mean-streets.html).

Here are some examples...






For more pictures of street gangs I've created using these and other manufacturers, check out my Lead Legionaries blog section covering these games:

Hope they provide some inspiration or ideas...  ;D
