They look great I especially like the gangster with the pistol and the cops. I'd like to try this era myself, it looks a lot of fun.
Power and chaos!

Those copplestone gangsters are sweet figures - I've got some ofr my AC57 stuff, and they paint up like a dream. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this goes, as my 20's gangster project sort of died a death

I was just reading up on the "Phantom" before I dropped by!! Synchronicity...

Zed, are these gangsters for your new PULP Rules based on Black West?

yes for the pulp rules. i will run a few games if the club want to help using the basic rules for cops and gangsters etc then write rules for each miniature e.g
Candy Kid: (with all proper stats etc)
i'm thinking of writing a quick rule version of black west for beginning with the game and gettin used to the mechanics.
Any way. here are some more pics....The much improved van - added weathering, signs, blood and bulbs

The finished van looks great, and it's always great to see terrain being built!

Look forward to some more colour updates!

The gray putty most company use to sculpt with, flattened out and smoothed then irregular squares etched and few cracks lined in here and there.
i'd post a pictorial but there's no point. the next base is a pavement edge base, as an experiment. i hope to cast some up soon for multi use or whatever.

That van looks great, love the blood! There's a ton of really nice looking vintage cars at this scale isn't there? Something about drivebys in wobbly old jallopys really appeals!

Here is the cop, almost insultingly bad pictures and just to say, to get ANY decent degree of shading from the GW matt washes, DO NOT expect it to come out matt. this guy was glistening before i put his matt varnish on.

i also painted the boy with the slingshot but he doesn't photograph at all, i will wait for the strom to pass and take some of them in the sun maybe.
i also bought THREE more vans which look the same (they're old Kellogg vans) im thinking of making a post compound or something. they where 25P EACH!!!!!
