Excellent, very well observed they ooze the period.

Mad Doc
WOW some lovely figures

Pinstripes are great.
and the bases are out standing.
Good job on the re-paints of the cars. Like the soft top

I too am jealous of the scenery by Michi

Anychance of some close ups and some details of how you built the town?

Cobblestone road sections are 15x15, 15x25, 10x10, 10x15 and 10x25cm, foam on 1mm styrene sheet, some with H0/00 tracks embedded.

Buildings are based on 25x25cm sqares of 5mm plywood with carved pavements for 2,5cm wide sidewalks.

The brick walls are made from foam sheets from the railway model shop.

Excellent.

Painting Gangsters myself at the moment. These are very inspirational.

Thankyou for lots of good ideas and inspiration. I take off my fedora to you, brilliant work.

Thanks again, folk! You've kept me motivated for additions over which I'm already chewing... Might take the plunge and open a poll.

Btw @Michi, excellent terrain, but definitely out of reach regarding my limited abilities and storage capacities.

PS: Fixed the link to my blog in the first post - in case you want to see some other views of the miniatures presented here.

Gorgeous figures there Mad Doc Morris, I never thought I'd see Hitler in a yellow suit with purple waistcoat.

Lovely terrain there too Michi, I would love to play on that board.

I can't help noticing every time Mad Doc (I'm sorry I keep typing 'Mad Dog'... I hope I've corrected them all now :oops: ) mentions the terrian he says 'but I have a problem with storage...' so maybe we can put our collective brains together.

I have seen a terrain set that fitted inside iself so to speak; the buildings were made (in sections if I recall correctly) a bit like Russian dolls, and were stored inside larger ones. Perhaps something like that is worth considering. Also collapsable buildings - there are some very nice PDFs of cardboard buildings that could perhaps be modified to fold down at the end of play. Also, there are snap-together-snap-apart kits that might serve. They're fiddly to put up just before a game, but arguably better than permenantly have terrain that has no-where to go, and certainly better than no terrain at all.

Ultimately, the best place to go for advice on terrain for gaming is I think TerraGenesis - http://www.terragenesis.co.uk/ - and I'm sure people would be able to come up with solutions.

Hope some of this is helpful, and good luck with your Pulp town (or is that 'Pulpville'?)

Many thanks, especially Red Orc for the input. I'll consider the approach mentioned, sounds quite viable.
Besides, honestly I hadn't Uncle Adolf in mind when painting the chap in yellow suit. Moustaches like that were seemingly quite common back then. Actually my inspiration for the pair were these two fellows:

Also, Bezzo, I've no clue who you mean.

Any advice?

Mad Doc Morris · « **Reply #24 on:** November 24, 2009, 02:52:43 PM »

Indeed, there's a bit of similarity.

Maybe Mr Copplestone did an unintentional(?) resemblance.

Amazing!

It's true, that sort of style was a lot more popular before the 1940s. After that... less so. I didn't really mean that it 'was' Hitler. It does look like him though, a sort of alternate universe angry gay theatre impressario Hitler.

What a different world that would have been.

Mad Doc Morris · « **Reply #28 on:** November 26, 2009, 05:48:24 PM »

Mhh, maybe a Springtime for Hitler-theme? That's a puzzling lovely idea, too.

Wow nice figures. I love your technique.
