looking for a gangster ride
« on: March 11, 2008, 08:56:29 AM »
Hi :)
Iīm new to the forum and also to Pulp Games.
Iīm interested in "gangster" games set in America during the 1925 to 1930 (the time of Al Capone).
My problem is, every gangster had got a typical "gangster like" looking car, but where can I  get one from which fits into this era and to the scale?
By the way I want to play with 28mm figures.

The only company Iīve found is "Sloppy Jaloppy". Well they have realy good looking cars but it wouldnīt be cool if every player has got the same car, would it?
And some of the cars are looking to much like explorer cars found in films like Indiana Jones ;)

Can anybody help me?

A trifle European but the best looking car for this era is the Tamiya Citroen in  1:48 scale.

try an e-bay search using Danbury Mint, they do a range of nice pewter models, and some of those are classics like Cadillacs and the Cord.

I have their 'Capone Special' and the 'Hillbilly Truck'.  Overall, they're not bad but they'll need a bit of work to get them up to snuff.  I don't particularly like the resin they're using - it's a bit brittle - but, for the price, they're definitely worth considering.  Take your time with them and they could be showstoppers.
