2 new artizan Green Previews

Okay, these are more from the Victorian aera, but they might work.

Not really. Not very modern in appearance at all.

Very nice for Victorian games though

nitpickers... :wink:
Just 75 or so years before, does fashion changed that much?
But You are quite right. For a serious gamer and collector they do not fit.

Please! Post a picture of yourself!

At your own risk, have a look at my avatar...

I love the Mystic, another one for my list.

I'm loving these Thrilling Tales pulp figures. I think when it comes to injecting real individual character into a figure, Mike is just about the best.

I feel my resistance weakening... Must have sky pirates and nacht jagers...

And after Casablanca, perhaps a few figures based on Tales of The Gold Monkey??  

Oooh, and can you remind Mike that about two years ago, he told me he was aiming to start on a new range of Elizabethans 'in the next few months', to supplement the swashbucklers and sea dogs he originally sculpted for Foundry? (SURELY he must be nearly finished with WWII by now?  :wink:)

Pulp Figures already made some. Better have Mike do something different.  

[Captain Blood]

Ah, that presupposes one likes Bob Murch's style. Whilst I definitely like his imagination and terrific creativity, I'm just not sure about the Pulp sculpting style. But these things are very subjective, I appreciate.

But anything that gives Mike more time to think about launching his own range of sea dogs and swashbucklers in fine by me  :mrgreen:

Never mind Elizabethans, you can get those from loads of manufacturers. We could do with more 1940s film characters, otherwise it should be Dan Dare (plus Digby, Hank, Pierre, Sondar, Lex, Miss Peabody, and Stripey).

[Captain Blood]

I am shocked that I've only just got here and have already attracted 2 comments of the 'you can already get those from somewhere else' variety!  :wink:

Unfortunately for my own good - I'm discriminating! Be assured that if the 'loads of manufacturers' (erm.. Vendel? Old Glory? Gee thanks) already producing Elizabethans, produced them to the same character-oozing quality as Mike Owen, I wouldn't be pestering him to make some more!

But I do apologise for talking swashbucklers in the pulp thread. :wink:

I'm just not sure about the Pulp sculpting style.

I can understand. The pictures on the website give them a very distinct, rounded style. This might be in large part due to the painter's style I think, as in the metal it is far less predominant and once painted like my figures from other ranges even less so.

[fastolfrus]

No offence old chap, after all Elizabethans is no more off-topic than Dan Dare.
Besides, are you talking historical Elizabethans or Errol Flynnesque ?

I'm with you, brothers. I have yet to order anything from Pulp Miniatures. I think the theme and subject of his miniatures are spot on but sometimes I am not sure about the poses. To illustrate:

Exhibit two, top row looks to much like Mr Doing-Squats-As-I-Walk'n-Shoot to look good among my Brigade sailors,

 :: He does look rather like he's been caught short...

I have had my eye on those Brigade merchant sailors... I like the look of the two merchant crews in chunky sweaters etc, but I like the look of the river boat / tramp steamer crew with Thompsons with drum magazines even more! Does anyone know if they are compatible, or perhaps even ( ) by the same sculptor?

[Lowtardog]

I second some swash buckling Elizabethans too
