  2. That cop isn't O'Grady, but Officer Krupke from West Side Story :-D

  9. Great figures as usual. What's getting spooky now is that the day after I look at a set, they magically appear on your site. Beautifully painted and photographed of course.

  10. Great work mate!
    Alongside the photos of the background, they look very realistic!
    Bravo Paul!

  11. These are fun figures and the backdrop presents them well. Does any other country than the US of A have a colorful "underworld" that movies are mad about? I've seen photos of Europeans dressed up like gangsters the way they dress up like American cowboys.

  14. Great figures and a great job bringing them to life. Almost makes me wonder what they'd look like in a black and white paintjob seeing them like that, and they are going on my list. The coppers look like New York City ones but the gangsters are mostly Chicago ones. The Chicago PD wear a black/white checkerboard pattern on the hatband,although I'd have to look into historical dates for that to be sure. Many of these gunfights happened just down the street from where I live, including Nelson, Dillinger, etc. (And still do)

  15. Nicely done. Probably alot easier to find die cast cars that look right for 20mm than it is for my 28mm figures.

  18. Nice paintjob! I've linked your work in my article about the Redbox Gangsters. https://alkony.enerla.net/english/the-nexus/miniatures-nexus/miniature/miniature-figure/modern-gangster-in-1-72-scale-gangster-2-from-the-gangsters-set-from-redbox-miniature-figure-review
    It seems to me that the images are missing now.

    1. Thanks :-) Tiny pic went out of business sept last year and the links to the pics went with them. I´m working at replacing them and slowly I´ll get to them all but it´s a lot of work and takes time. I´ll replace these ASP :-)Thanks for heading up they are missing.
