I've been in and out of wargaming and miniatures for the passed 16 years or so.

Right now I'm looking for an open rule set that would allow for me to base games around the worlds seen in Hell Up in Harlem, the Exterminator or Death Wish. Also minis to match. I remember a few months back I saw minis that had a striking resemblence to Fred Williamson. I am quite disappointed in myself for not bookmarking it.

Perhaps if someone else is interested in this subject matter we could work together on a rule set and maybe get a sculptor involved. Who knows there may be an interest. I mean "Geezers, Shut It!" Is pretty popular.

Check the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang line Copplestone Artizan project. In fact I think it is this blister "Soul Section" KKBB 110;

There might be some useful stuff in Killer B Games' Geezers! range: link

Good call on the Geezers range – I'd have thought that the 'London, 1974' locale would be wrong for Blaxploitation material, but there is 'the Harlem Avenger', a few American TV based subjects, and a lot of burly white men in kipper ties and wide lapels who could cross the Atlantic.

I would also recommend 1/43rd diecast cars. The scale is really far too big, but I think we should understand that a '72 Cadillac de Ville is 25 feet long and requires two full moves to get around.

One of these should be added to Soul Section.

Need "Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill" figures for an historical reenactment.

Disney "Cars" Tex Dinoco makes a good Cadillac, with some slight repainting.
For a 60's spy game I repainted Fillmore, the Volkswagen bus, and Ramone, the Impala, in their original colors, and one as a cop car, and they looked great.
Big Time Muscle 1/64 cars include some 70's types.

Rules-wise, '45 adventure' would work.
