Figure Sought, Young Brit Aristocrat

[religon]

...in dinner jacket and tails. 28mm. The pose should suggest an idle privilege if possible. Clean-shaven without hat. Perhaps similar to Bertie Wooster dressed for dinner. None of the various mustachioed Victorian gentlemen in London street coats with hats and frequently a cane.

I have found a clockwork butler in tails and a Heroclix Alfred Pennyworth, Batman's butler, that may serve with extensive conversion, but there must be something better suited  . The stiff butler poses are not quite right.

Any suggestions?

How about Nick Charles from the GN9 Sleuths pack?

Thanks all.

Mason's suggestion of Nick Charles will work. No mustache, no hat, correct attire and relaxed pose.

If you don't mind an armed figure, there's always "Nick Charles" from the Copplestone "Sleuths" pack in the gangster range:



There's also a wonderful old Cluedo figure:



He's hard to find, but I might be getting an extra. Though the cut of the suit might be too new for VSF.

Nick Charles will work. I can work around the gun I think.

The Cluedo would have the ideal pose if the cut of the suit was more period. A head swap could make him younger. Nice find. Who makes the figure? What character does it represent? Something to do with the board game?

[Stepman3]

Give him a rose instead of gun...wooing some young lass...

[FramFramson]

The Cluedo figure is Colonel Mustard from the 1996 edition of the game (and I don't believe he's available for anything else). He's more 32mm than 28mm (but that's actually perfect for me).

If you really wanted to, you might be able to convert him by adding a waistcoat and tails in greenstuff. But it depends on what you're going for.

Mutton Chop do a moriarty figure wearing tails http://www.empressminiatures.com/userimages/procart59.htm (MC012)

Though they have painted him wrong for the web photo (the tie and waistcoat should be white! - or else he would be a butler...) the figure may do, though you may want to sculpt hair or change the head altogether (should be easy enough). I don't know of any others in white tie and tails.

[religon]

Thanks warburton. That is a nice figure. I'm not familiar with Mutton Chop. How do they compare with ranges I may know better?...Artizan, Old Glory, Copplestone, Foundry's Victorians, RAFM true 25mm, old 25mm Ral Partha or Reaper.

[warburton]

They are sculpted by Paul Hicks so, though I do not own any Mutton Chop figures, I would say they scale ok with Artizan Foundry and Copplestone based on some other Paul Hicks figures I do have.

Also, I look forward to pictures of the project in due course!
