Hi Folks my London waterfront project is well underway (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=35855.0) and I've started getting the residents ready.

First up is the local constabulary. These are from Foundrey and they look great. I'm very happy with them.

Ello Ello Ello. Those look spiffing!

Nice work

I don't like the base figures, but that's nice painting, and great integration with the bases.

One detail - when on duty, British Police of the late 19th/early 20th century wore a black-and-white vertically striped armband above the left wrist. Most manufacturers miss them off (except for West Wind, which equally erroneously has them on both sleeves), but they are easy enough to paint on.

The only ones with their left wrist showing are the sergeants.

I like them. I fear the helmets are bit too small and pimple like, but i love the character you've got into the figures. Well done

Top notch! This table is going to be fantastic.

Really nice Melnibonean.

I can't wait to see more.

Here are some new folk to populate the waterfront... A group of lovely working ladies.
Perfect for a Ripper scenario but for my project they'll be hanging aroung the docks.
This little group come from Foundry and I like them.

Very nice!

They're a saucy looking bunch! Very nice.

Those are great. Are they from one of the much-maligned recent Foundry releases, only i don't recognise them?

Of course, I would find them quite serviceable, but I suspect the feeling is a wasting of painting talent on them. I concur, of course.

As for the ladies, I always enjoy a NSFW moment provided by this forum.
