Steve Barber Prohibition Wars - Mixing
« on: February 11, 2009, 03:46:16 PM »
Sorry, another "Gangster Figure" question.

Steve Barber Prohibition Wars

I see that these are described as “true” 25mm but am wondering if they would work with Pulp/Copplestone/Dixon as “short” or “slightly built” figures.  Especially the unarmed figures?

Or are they just too small?

I found them too small.

To put that in perspective I field old Grenadier gangsters alongside my Copplestones, but the two Steve Barber figs I got just didn't cut the mustard.

I'll add another "too" small.

What you upto anyway? Got you down as more of a single figure man than "projects" :)

They're out then.  Thanks for the information.

Single figures, yes and small groups.
 
A “Project” for me is just a group of related figures.  Won’t be lots.

I have some “unarmed” Copplestone and Pulp Figures.  Recently acquired the Partizan Harold Lloyd.  1929 is in the news a lot.  I haven’t painted any Gangsters for a while.  My imagination gets to work…

Too busy at the moment.  Painting a single figure.  Small, elderly chap... ;)

I willecho the above defiantely too small. Shame as its a very nice comprehensive range and the buildings are very nice too. But I understand he has stopped making them (the buildings) as there was little demand.

They are true 25s as already said. I game with Steve and he has gone part time with his ranges and is now working as a Hairdresser. His ranges are still in production but as said not sure if he is still making the resin buildings. I will find out and see if he is making them.

I know he has been working on Nopleonics for the last 12 months :)

I've got a few Steve Barber figures and they're minute alongside the Copplestone ones. I've not got any of the gangster/cop types - got plenty enough from Copplestone & Pulp - what I've got I use to pad out the "innocent by-standers" in my games where, I feel, size doesn't matter so much.

Just in case you're not convinced, I'll add to the chorus.  I have some that look 'OK' alongside Paul Hicks IWI range, but they look like dwarves next to Copplestone
