Copplestone compatible gangsters?
« on: February 26, 2016, 04:23:26 PM »
All,
So I've started my "Peaky Blinders" project. I ordered most of the Copplestone gangster sets, and several of the Footsore IWI sets to expand the numbers. Unfortunately, the Footsore pieces are entirely incompatible with Copplestone. They are smaller and slighter in build. I definitely prefer the look and style of the Copplestone pieces. Can anyone suggest other manufacturers that would match up better?
Please don't tell me how people come in all shapes and sizes. While that may be true, weapons most certainly do not. And that for me throws the look off.

Nick

I think the Pulp Figures stuff mixes okay with Copplestone, and he has a nice selection.

Dave,
         How about getting Andrew to do a couple packs of generic street toughs for Vice Alley.  They'd be perfect for what I have in mind.

Nick, that is actually one of the packs we are planning to do for Pulp Alley. But I think we have two more packs of Sidekicks to wrap up before we get to the Allies/Follower packs. I know that's not much of a help right now.  ;)

Some I've painted...

Copplestone, Pulp Figures, Dixon, Black Tree Design (Dr Who), Mirliton

All work fine together for my money.

Brigade figures although nice are too small to mix with Copplestone. You may pick up some from Some CTHULHU ranges out there.

What about Artizan Designs thrilling Tales- sculpted by Mike Owen. They are slightly shorter (about 1mm) but have similar bulk and proportions, and a similar sculpting style. The variation in hight is, as far as I am concerned, not a problem. The trilling tales figures have integral bases and Copplestone has slotter bases, so depending how you base them you can easily disguise the difference by leaving the Artizan figure on its base. Mind you, if you trim off the integral base it's not a deal breaker- after all we are all different hight. I think it's more important that the sculpting style is compatible.

I think Mike Owen also sculpted these.... http://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=5725

Might be worth a look but I havn't seen them in real life. they look very Peeky Blinders to me (well the men do)
