Flashman.

I havnt seen the film, but have read the first book, fun stuff!
Your post gave me an idea to paint up a Flashman circa 1930s for a pulp badguy.

Hmmm, now who makes a suitable figure of a dashing 30s cad?

I'll have to check out the link above after work.
Thanks

Flashman would be 108 in 1930, if he hadn't already died in 1915. 

But he could always be treated as one of those characters that never (or rarely) seem to age, like Tintin or Batman. I mean Bruce Wayne has got to be in his 90s, considering he was running around as the Batman during World War 2.

Given Flashy's amorous antics it's a given there'll be a child or even grandchild of his capable of getting up to no good in the 1920's and 30's. Son - or Daughter - of Flashman? 

[Plynkes]

Hundreds, I reckon.

And don't forget the geographic (and ethnic) variety that is possible, given Flashy's activities!

Maybe Eureka Miniatures' Wellyn Shaftesbury?:

Thanks for all the suggestions Chaps.

This sculpt by Mr. Hicks looks the part I think. Smug and militarily dressed so he can be close enough to the front lines to take credit but not close enough to get hurt...

Now what else to get from Empress to justify the S&H across the pond.

I already have a Eureka Shaftsbury. Splendit sculpt but a tad pre 1930s I think.

Dad and I watched this movie together and we both liked it. He fell asleep half way through, but I think that was because of the medicine, not because he was bored. 

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys 'n' gals for the replies. I came across it by accident whilst surfing the utube and thought I wonder if anybody has yet to see it and would it be worthwhile listing it. Glad I did now. Cheers.

Yes, thanks Prof. I haven't seen that film for a very long time. When you reminded me of it, I went straight on to Amazon and ordered a DVD!

Not quite sure on the choice of actor for old Flashy there. No doubt the film is good, though.
