Manchurian Bandit Gang - Finished

[Wirelizard]

One of my favourite movies going, and your figures are spot-on for the bandits of the movie!

Any plans for scenery? Would love to see some Ghost Market type scenery, complicated multi-level shanty-town stuff with lots of alleys and gates...

I am planning to re-run my Manchurian Express game at Little Wars Melbourne in June. So the terrain is just a train and passing scenery. I started work on a shack, with Ghost Market in mind, but it'll probably just be a lone farm shack for the Japanese trucks to run through.

Excellent work. My favourites would have to be the Camel Riders and the Motorcycle. What make are the Camel Riders?

Cheers

The riders are copplestone, and I think the camels also (available single without riders)

The camels are from copplestone. I added some greenstuff reins and saddle blankets ( and riders).

Wow, just wow! My compliments on your skill.

[Warboss Nick]

Very nice work! My favourite is the motorcycle with sidecar.

Nice collection of figures there

I've come to this a bit late but having seen it I got hold of the DVD and I have to say I loved it! I am a bit of a Western purist but I thought this one was done with a combo of reverence for the genre and a willingness to take the mick out of it that is just perfect.

So what? Well I game in 1/32nd scale ie 54mm figures and inspired by the movie and these superb 28mm conversions I want to do my own version of the gang and the 3 main characters in 54mm. I have started looking for camels and a motorbike and sidecar...

I have just completed some Russian Turkmen Cavalry Regiment, and have some WIP Basmachis  on the workbench. These Bandits will fit in with the latter I hope and also be used on their own.

I have tried to find more photos from the movie showing the gang but no luck - can anyone help? Meantime I will download the photos of the excellent conversions shown here by Freelancer.

Missed this until now. Really great stuff - applause!!

The guy in the sidecar could do with a coal scuttle IIRC

[Ignatieff]

Cracking!

I missed this when it was first posted. The figures look great and capture the movie. Korean Kowboys is a whole genre.

When Netflix started showing, I wrote about the movie on my blog ages ago. I love the movie. Amazon reduced the Bluray to several dollars last week--I got one when 5 were left. The soundtrack is also great, but goes for stupid money now.

Keep up the good work. Now you need the Japanese. :-)
