Anyone know where I could find a suitable 28mm miniature of a mailman that could be converted to carry a silenced Ingram M-10 (ala Three Days of the Condor)? I tried to find decent pictures but didn't come up with much. The best I found are near the bottom of the page linked below. hankgarrett.net/photos.html … and one more without the gun.
picture Thanks. |

tinyurl.com/lgkzu2 With a bit of conversion work one of these might work for you. Round off the points on the hat, file off the buttons and the belt buckle and fill in the belt and you will have a good approximation of the rain gear he's wearing. The hat would be a French Blue color and the rain gear is a gray color. Pants would be a gray blue. Shoes are black. USPS patch is only on the chest. If that doesn't work, look for miniatures of other police on various miniature sales web sites among the Pulp sections. |

It was Max Von Sydow's character who painted the figures in his hotel room. As to the mailman, how about using a police figure from one of the Gangster ranges? Try Brigade maybe. |

You could probably use one of Copplestone's cops from the Future Warriors range with a bit of judicious cutting, filing, and filling with GS. link |

Hasslefree makes silenced MAC-10s: link You could convert one of those Pulp cops like ML says, then add the weapon. |
