John Bull, Bill Stickers, Mad Hatter

[Mike D. Mc Brice]

Not sure where they fit but they are Victorian and also a bit unusual so the GH board might be correct.
Some people showed interest in the background of the Foundry limited edition stuff.
Figures from the Foundry limited edition WI subscription range (ca 2002). Set 2. Sculpted by Mark Copplestone.
Left to right:
Mad Hatter, Jack gives the tea party in Alice in wonderland. In victorian age hatters madness was a illnes typical for the business because of the chemicals involved in the production process of hats.
John Bull, is the personification of Great Britain. He's often accompanied by a bulldog (not part of the pack).
Bill Stickers, a joke that comes from the warning "bill stickers will be prosecuted" to avoid people sticking bills on the walls for advertisement and so on. This lead to the slogan "Free Bill Stickers".
All are painted in the typical way shown in victorian literature.

Tom - very nice!  I love the colours you have chosen!

I already spot them on ebay, great work. I love that printing on Bill Stickers, think I'll try to do something similar when he's due to get painted.

Thanks for your comments!

WG I can email you the posters if you like, they are fantasy but the background is correct.

Great paint jobs. I'll echo the sentiments that the color choice is amazing.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

well, they're fantastic! Especially the Hatter is my favourit, splendid colours. Tom, what colour did you use on jacket? Like this lilac

[Mike D. Mc Brice]

Thanks for the comments. The colour choice is courtesy Mr Dallimore since I've copied them from the original WI adds. But they are based on historical illustrations.
The lila is mixed from blue and red and highlighted with white. Lila is a bugger to get right.
I like John Bull the most but the Hatter was the worst to paint.

That'd be cool!
I'm the guy you got your Bill Sykes from, maybe you still got my email address. ;-]

These are wonderful. They all have such character! I really like the sign on the chest of Bill Stickers as well...
