Well, it says it all.

I've painted a Foundry limited Queen Vic with shotgun (lovely figure sculpted by Mark Copplestone) almost decade ago and i'm thinking to make a vignette of some sort for EOTD with an english bull terrier or bulldog and handler (eventualy an officer in uniform but i could do with a civie).

Any suggestion for suitable minis?

Thanks

Not sure on the Victorian handled but you can get a bulldog at Offensive Miniatures:

You might even be able to convert the 'gentleman' that comes with the dog. The dog does look somewhat oversized but it's very characterful.

Westwind do a pack with a bulldog in their vampire wars range.

I quite like the dog.

The sickle in the fruitful field;

But could not make the sickle yield."

Good call, I forgot about the West Wind one. I imagine It will be spot on?

Never heard of Offensive Miniatures before but I like the look of their Riot Police. I think they'll be getting an order from me in the future.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

The Offensive Miniatures riot stuff looks pretty decent for zombie stuff. I've seen photos of people using it with Hasslefree stuff. Sorry to go off topic!
Back on topic, Pulp Alley also have a rather nice bulldog in their Rugged Adventure're pack (at least I think it's that one).

For a bull terrier.

For a terrier hes a lovely figure I have this one myself. (bear in mind his hind left leg is a metal prosthetic halfway down but if your world is steampunk why not!)

Eureka do a English dog in their pax Limpopo range that looks like a bull terrier.

Cheers

Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.

I always thought that without too much effort, you could convert the Foundry Ratcatcher to a very convincing Bill Sikes...

This one? I think this is a bit to long in the leg for a bull terrier
