Ripper Street Series 2

[H.M.Stanley]

I may be wrong but think it could be a Homburg

That ain't a homburg .. just some battered non-entity  

The lead character (Lucky/Nuck) in Boardwalk Empire wears a homburg

Hmm... It's close to a Homburg. http://www.gentlemansemporium.com/store/004094.php

I'd say that Sergeant Drake wears a Homburg:

Good show, watched 2 episodes last night...  Cheers guys!

I think Spring-heeled Jack is slightly better known than Van Helsing gives him credit for. I heard about him in school, and I'm not even from London. Although I've always been a Victorian history geek, so I guess it depends on what circles you move in :-)

There are lots of very obscure miniatures out there - Spring-heeled Jack would sell no more or less than some of the weirder parts of a company's range, and there are definitely a few people asking about it - just type it into the search bar on this very forum. This is my favourite: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=39595.0

OK OK, he's a "fringe" thing (and very much so) - you just qualified that fact with "Although I've always been a Victorian history geek, so I guess it depends on what circles you move in" - so my point STILL stands, that there's no Miniature because he's not penetrated the public consciousness yet - if someone did a Movie, or he got referenced in Ripper Street (or even Whitechapel) you can GUARANTEE we would suddenly see him in miniature.

ODDLY enough, there's a way of "keeping up" with him in Empire of the Dead

Anyway, back to Ripper Street - I've ordered the 'not-Swearigen' from Artizan today, and I've located a suitable hat from the lead pile (what's that type of hat called, anyway?). Captain Jackson will soon be stalking the streets of miniature-Whitechapel!

Ripper Street is easily the best thing on British TV at the moment!

what's that type of hat called, anyway

If it was bought in Whitechapel it's probably just called a "Titfer"

"what's a titfer?"

[Van-Helsing]

"what's a titfer?"

Cockney Rhyming Slang "Titfer Tat" = Hat

Um, it's sort of like a Game of Thrones reunion....

So far we have, by a very casual count, Jorah Mormont, Bronn and  Roose Bolton...and I'm sure there are a few more.  It's always strange to see a group of actors who are more or less still working together in a completely different series...

I think Maester Pycelle was in one episode as well.

[Brummie Thug]

That wasn't what I was expecting this evening. Was still quite interesting and for all those wanting inspiration for a criminal gang of women what more could you want!

I think Maester Pycelle was in one episode as well.

I saw Barristan the Brave the other night....

[white knight]

Actually, that's the one I was thinking of, I knew something didn't feel quite right when I typed it.

At the risk of veering off-topic again, I just saw a glimmer of hope for a spring-heeled jack mini!

If you look at their characters page, there's a stat card for SHJ - and I believe they plan to turn every character into a mini (roughly 35mm tall apparently). Hurrah!

[Too Bo Coo]

 I like the Holmes figure a lot!

, I named my PA road gang the Mad Hatters...

[H.M.Stanley]

Completely OT ...

I saw Strangers on a Train in the West End at the wkd. And the Madame from Ripper St was in the cast. She played a character who was a bit of a trollope
