(Duplicate post as the timeout stopped me for cross-posting….)

I recently got infected by a mad mobster and have been building up a collection of figures, vehicles and buildings for gangster gaming.

Here are the latest figures to come off my paint bench:

Nice work. Looks like fun.

I love the use of color. Lots of variety without being too bright and eye-burning. I especially like the moll in the pink dress.

Well done.

I like Fat Tony in the middle. He looks like he rally takes the old adage "Leave the gun, take the cannoli' to heart.

thanks guys.

@ Tacitus – definitely fun

@ etotheipi -certainly a lot of variety of colour; each figure got a different base colour. I've seen a lot of people painting up gangsters in quite garish schemes, but didn't like that. Reading Runyon's stories, I only recall one mention of a guy wearing anything colourful and he seemed to be regarded as a bit of a joke by the honest entrepreneurs who hung out at Mitzy's.

@ Brian – cannoli with every one of his ten 5-course meals a day! grin

I like the guy in green.
Really nice to see something different posted on here.

@ OldGlory Andy – thank you. I prefer a more natural look for my figures, so it does require some subtlety

@ Aubrey – when I painted up the same pack as gifts a few weeks ago, the guy who is 5th in from the left was done in the same green. It looked god, so I decided to do a different one of this batch in that colour
