Professor Elemental and the Gentlemen's Club of the Empire...

[Commander Vyper]

I hope all you chaps have already heard of the fabulous Professor Elemental:







And of course his selection of various trousers:

Well I'm looking for a professor figure, that is in scale with the Westwind and Ironclad minis, (foundry seem very small, maybe just the older cowboy stuff I've got). Any ideas?

Also any good orang models out there for a monkey butler conversion?

More tea?



The Commander

[commissarmoody]

Brilliant!

[Commander Vyper]

Brilliant!

And dear boy and and??!??!?!?!..... We need options not platitudes!

Geoffery be a sport, pass me my blunderbuss!

[commissarmoody]

No I said the blunderbuss, this is the volleygun my dear boy.

[Commander Vyper]

No this is the particular assaminator dear boy!

Anyway enough of this, present the miniatures!!!!

[Hammers]

I have to ask: is "I don't like your tweed, sir!" an established expression? Seem very much like fighting words to me.

[Dr. Zombie]

How about this guy with a Pith helmeted head?

Oh and if you end up doing a Professor Elemental. You also have to make his arch enemy Mr.B.

[Commander Vyper]

That handlebar moustached fop! I'll not sully me workspace with him sir.

(Yeah saw that reaper one, not bad but looking for a bit more quirk, Plus reaper scale issues may mean his huge, be good if anyone's got him to do a scale pic for me).

[JollyBob]

How about the third chap from the left in this RAFM pack:

or the bloke on the second right, maybe? Or possibly some bizarre hybrid of the two, mashed up in your darkest darjeeling fueled nightmares...

Oh, and Black Cat do Orangutans:

Foundry make a fellow in a sun helmet and holding a cup and saucer in their Darkest Africa range.


If you must...


Personally I can't stand that bloody idiot. He's a detriment to the dignity of the Empire and the Izzat of the Raj.

Or Micro Art's Unseen University Librarian?

(Alphabeticised under "T", for "The Librarian."  I coud weep.)

[JollyBob]

Or there's the chap with the cane here:



and the one in shorts here:



both from Copplestone. Again, some fiddling and furtling would be required.

EDIT: and don't forget, Empress do a pack with loose sun helmets if you find a suitable figure that just needs a hat.

All good ideas thankyou gentlemen. Found the tang myself on a Black cat search after I posted cheers though. Need to put him in a monkey suit so might have to employ a) greenstuffery or b) have an idea using a fantasy orc as a basis, keep you posted on that. Librarian's out for that reason but love the mini.

Re: foundry, I'd like to see a comparison shot with other minis of those ones as they might work, although I'm trying to make my factions stand out, hence my problems with that dashed oriental gentlemen!

Sorry Plynkes.....


More battenburg?

[Plynkes]

Only some, older Foundry are very small. The Darkest Africa figures aren't of the tiny tiddler variety. I'll see if I can have a look later and see how they compare with the few Westwind Gothic Horror figures I have.





Ship him to New Holland in chains I say, and let's be rid of him.
