Hawkaaaaa!
« on: October 28, 2008, 02:46:31 PM »
Does anyonew know of any suitable figures that I could use for the Blackhawks?
They are a WWII (and beyond) multinational flying squadron. I'm unable to post an image to help. There were Blackhawk and several others, including Stan, Olaf, Hendrickson, Chop Chop, and at one time, Lady Blackhawk.

Don't know about figures but here's a site with plenty of reference - 'The Unofficial Blackhawk Comics Website'.

For any interested modelers, Minicraft made a 1/48 Skyrocket which could easily be painted in Blackhawk colours.

Wow, I don't know how I missed that site!
There is a lot of useful information there.
Yeah, I have a couple of the Heroclix figures but I was hoping to find something in metal that would be closer in scale to the stuff I have now, mostly Pulp and Copplestone.

I've never seen Blackhawk figures but I tried to convert cops into Blackhawks. The cops I used are no longer available but you could try Bub Murch cops if you are willing to do a lot of work. He might have a suitable Chop Chop in one of his oriental packs.

flooglestreet, were those the Grenadier cops? EM4 has them here http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/COPS.html

I always thought the double breasted uniform gave them a retro 30's feel.

Hmm, I might have to take a closer look at the EM-4 stuff. I did find a suitable Chop Chop figure in Murch's Yangtzee stuff, and a pretty nice lady blackhawk in the personalities.

Yes Cory, I believe thats them. I lost mine when I moved :'( and I seem to remember a series of zombies went with them, but I could easily be mistaken,  o_o somebody might have been running a game with these cops and somebody elses Zombies, the hobby shop had a very active basement game room.
