Manchurian Bandit Gang - Finished

[Freelancer]

I am running a game at Little Wars Melbourne, based on the film The Good The Bad and The Weird. My co-organiser  has a nice collection of Copplestone chinese bandits and soldiers, and my only contribution (apart from a train) was 3 Tsuba miniatures Manchurian Bandits. So I thought I'd collect my own bandit force for the occasion (as there were two gangs of bandits in the film) based on these guys


I wanted to have mounted and on foot miniatures for each member of my gang (except for those riding in the truck). The models are Copplestone bandits, a 1st Corp bike and sidecar, and a Matchbox "beers of the world" Mack truck.
With a few head swaps and greenstuffing for the leaders, here is my gang pre painting.

and on foot

Very nice - I'm going to look forward to seeing this.

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

That is really nice work. I've got the film but I haven't watched it yet.

Brilliant! I've been toying with the same idea since I saw the 1st Corps motorbike.

Eventual additions could be Fistful of Kung-Fu cultists or West Wind empire of the dead Tong gangers.

Nice job on all but the camel riders are my clear favorite.

Really nice figures.
Great idea, mounted and dismounted figures.

Very nice work! Which characters are on the motorcycle's plate? I recognize zhong, but am not sure about the other two.

[Freelancer]

  um, the last two are kind of made up..... I copied characters off the Tsingtao truck, but my brushwork slipped, so i just made them look characterish. The bandits did it to avoid the police checking up on them

They certainly have the look and feel of the movie
