Figure with a Lancaster Pistol
« on: December 03, 2014, 02:18:07 AM »
Does any manufacturer produce a figure with the Lancaster pistol (the heavy, four-barreled "howdah pistol")?  Most  figures are bearing Webleys.  My favorite Victorian of all, Col. Fred Burnaby, bore (big bore, at that) one in the Sudan (and evidently on Mars, too, per Space 1889(.

It should be fairly easy to make one from either brass or plastic tube  :)

Ironclad Miniatures produce a Victorian Gentleman holding what looks like a PepperBox revolver in their VSF range.

Reading the write-up on this page, the gentleman is actually modelled with a Lancaster pistol.

Thanks, but I was hoping for someone looking a bit more "expeditionary" - someone you might see in the Northwest Frontier or Egypt (or Africa, or the wilds of Mars for that matter).  Interesting that this fellow might be the only figure any company makes so equipped.
