In 28mm.

What's your concept of a "hobo"?

15mm and 28mm Fanatik07 Apr 2016 7:49 a.m. PST

It's a gory grindhouse B-movie starring Rutger Hauer. The only one that comes to mind is Ned from Zombicide, but he sports long hair and a beard and wears glasses.

I'm more interested in a Rutger Hauer blind swordsman figure from 'Blind Fury.'

? Did the Bug strike,or am I even further out of the loop than I thought?

You've never seen "Hobo with a Shotgun"? Then you are further out of the loop.

A succinct history of the movie:

I've done… questionable things.

Something like this. Only in 28mm.

OK,mea culpa,never heard of it.
Is that what you're looking for,tberry? Shouldn't be hard to find.
I was thinking along the lines of a Western figure with patches.

I think that poster IS in 28mm!

If nothing else the Wargames Factory Apocalyptic Survivors set for the body and gun and a plastic Dark Ages head from Gripping Beast.

Copplestone Castings has a huge range, where you might find something similar.

I have that movie on Blu-Ray it's brilliant!!!

If you don't mind plastic?
Zombicide's "Ned" is about perfect:

You can pick one up on evilBay fairly cheaply.

"Ned" seems the best fit so far.

Thanks everyone.

I believe the original title was "Bum with a shotgun".

The figure I use -- which is still a bit off, but close enough in spirit for me -- is Red Cap Ben from Zombicide (but Z-cide and other zombie game survivors might begood places to start looking):
