Standing/walking drunk?
« on: 29 October 2007, 07:02:19 PM »
Anyone seen a 1920's-30's drunkard standing/walking, perhaps with a sixpence and clenching a bottle?

I plan to use an obnoxious drunkard as an encounter in a park  :wink:

I was going to answer "Pete Murrey" but then I read Proff's post and realized you were asking for a miniature. ;-)

Yep, He's from the Westwind Gothic Horror Dr Jykll/Mr Hyde, London Mob pack. :mrgreen:

I have an alternative suggetsion:-
Try Dixon miniatures Gangsters range they have a pack of drunk down and outs. I reckon they are just what you need. And they don't seem to suffer from the usual Dixon miniatures cabbage head syndrome. :)

There is a sailor in the Tramp Steamer Crew of Pulp Figures with a bottle of booze.

Oh, yeah, but he's a little too 'light' dressed for a Chicago park encounter.

I may go for the Dixon ones, I would prefer a standing drunk to a sitting/laying... maybe the Westwind, after all, I just don't know what to do with the rest of the set.....  :?:

To help our Crispbread friend remember the name:



I think our Pete had had a few when they took this picture  (I swear I haven't doctored this pic, it is a real book, by the real Pete Murrey).

How about a Citadel Gothic Horror hobo (has a bottle in his hand)?

http://www.solegends.com/citgoth/goth85/index.htm

Ninth row down....

Or a Citadel Gothic Horror down-and-out (doesn't have a bottle in his hand)?

http://www.solegends.com/citgoth/goth87/index.htm

Fourth row down.

The hobo comes up on eBay frequently.
