"I am the Music Man..."
« on: 01 October 2012, 10:04:17 AM »
"...I come from down your way..."



The good folks at CP Models very kindly gave me this Victorian one-man band figure in return for featuring their excellent miniatures in my VBCW Miniatures Guide.
I’ve no idea what to use it for, but it’s a cracking mini, if rather challenging to paint for a numpty like me, and will no doubt grace a tabletop very soon!

Altogether now:
"Pia-pia-pia-no, pia-no, pia-no; pia-pia-pia-no, pia-pia-no"

Every army needs a band!  :D

I'd say it'd be rather perfect for Mary Poppins skirmish wargames.

very nice and I could see that vampires just HATE the one man band, not so much for the music. it seems that zombies just LOOOVE the sound of that one man band! after you roll and add D10s worth of zombies on the front lawn, what a mess

He looks great! I've never seen that mini painted before.

I'm assuming you will be using him in your VBCW games as well.  :D

I think he would look really great with some morris dancers I have seen on another thread here.

Lol. I've just ordered him to go with my Morris dancers Herby after someone steered me in this chaps direction last night. He's a characterfull little fig.

The sickle in the fruitful field;
The sword he sung a song of death,
But could not make the sickle yield."

Cheers for your comments guys! I'll be using him in my VBCW games, but thought it'd be more suitable to post him in this thread.
