Armed Housewives go off soon....29/01 (VBCW, Pulp, Interwar etc)

[Mason]

Some of you may know that I have been messing around with green stuff for a while now.

My subject matter is known to vary, but mostly I have been dabbling in the Pulp period as I started making stuff with my British Call of Cthulhu/Strange Aeons project in mind.

These fellas certainly fit in this board, though, as I intend to make enough to form a unit in VBCW, but they could equally be used in Pulp or any other game for the period.

The M.I.B. (Men in Bowlers).




Another view with the rather dishevelled chap more in focus....




There are several more figures to make which will include a variety of squad members that will be utilising this 'dolly'...





I hope to have some more progress to show soon.

As they say on the Interwebs, this is Relevant To My Interests. 

A couple of my Pulp Alley Leagues are already Men in Bowlers-style dapper gentlepersons causing mayhem around the globe, so I could easily see adding a few of these to my collection!

I should have known that that might tickle you.

Great!
It may interest you to know that I plan on three packs.
A 'command' pack of NCO, Lewis gunner and #2, a pack of three different fellas in 'active' poses and a pack of four utilising the 'dolly' so that when all three are utilised a squad of ten can be formed.
That way the chaps who only want a few figures will be happy and those that want a squad of MIB should be quite pleased too.

Your sculpting is coming on strong Mason - huge respect there. 

I see a lot of green stuff in your future - well done mate.

These chaps are coming along nicely with three more at various stages of being 'dressed' and the last four 'naked' armatures being made tonight.

Piccies in the next few days.

All further updates on these fellas will be here......

.....as I have decided that it will be easier to maintain one thread with everything appropriate to one period together.
 

[Mason]

These are now finished.
They have been posted in the Pulp thread along with the rest of the stuff for this period.

Just to let you know that the Gents and the Hospital Staff have been at the casters for some time and should be back with me soon hopefully.


I also started some Interwar-period Ladies Militia which may well interest you.

Just as a point of curiosity, do you ever take on commissions and if you do, how do you arrive at prices?

I have almost finished my first commission and we came to a price through discussion as I did not have anything to really base a price on.
We just found a figure that was mutually agreeable.

Not much help, I guess, but that is the way it happened....

The Armed Housewives will be sent off for casting next week, so if anyone wants any check out this thread for details of 'how to'...
