An Honourable Call for Worthy Suggestions
« on: March 15, 2011, 04:47:37 PM »
What-ho all,
I'm currently hunting some rather specific models, here's my shopping list - help would be appreciated :) All 28mm, by the way

French Gendarme, 30-40s styley
Nazi officer, preferably high ranked, (easy enough, I hear you cry?) in a relaxed, non-military pose (and there's the catch)
A portly waiter (this is low priority, the other two I must have)

I wish, oh how I wish, I could tell you what it's for - but I'd rather keep it to myself for now. But, if anyone is interested, just keep your eye on the LPL...

P.S. Apologies if this post is in entirely the wrong place, but I coudn't think of where else it might go. Do admonish me if I've made a forum fopar.
\\\"Oh dear,\\\" said God, \\\"I hadn\\\'t thought of that,\\\" and promptly vanished in a puff of logic.

Would the officer also be modelled with cheese in his ears?  If so I have guessed where you are going with this. :D

Are you looking for suggestions so you can buy them or are you looking for a LAFer to trade with and already know what you want?
Artizan have all the figures you are describing.

@Gamermac
Nah, just places I can buy them from. And thanks, I'll take a look

@Damas
My god! That is an even better idea than the one I originally had - now shush, or I'm going to end up dropping everything and doing that instead...I going to have to do it now though...pssh.

Here's the picture of my painted French gendarme from the Artizan "goumier command pack".



The photo is overflashed but it shows the details  ;)

Just had a look at Artizan - recognised most of it from Salute and such (I always see things, mean to note down the company, then fail to do so :P) - what a range! Stricken with the almost uncontrollable urge to buy "Captain Withnail"

Going to have get some cake in for him

and fine wine, of course...

What about Darkson's Rommel? Or have a look at the site of Black Tree Design for an officer...
And there's the German Staff from West Wind

Would where you are going with this at some stage possibly involve a stolen painting?

@Hauptgefreiter
Aha! Thank you for that. I'd seen Westwind, but I wasn't too keen on spending £8.50 on one model unless I absolutely have to

@Aliensurfer
Yes, one with big boobies.

Also, would you like me to lick your massage? Only once of course.

You may want to check Pulp Figures. German range has a cool nazi officer in the Zeppelin crew. Gangland justice, in the Surly servant pack, has a Butler that would made a decent waiter.

Yes, I've had a look at them. Rather nice (must contrive a reason to get some of them!), but the Germans don't quite fit the tone. The butler is rather good though, I might well get it.
