"1930's women" Topic

I have found 28mm 1920's women but cannot find any appropriate figs for the 1930's. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Pulp Figures at pulpfigures.com has a Dangerous Dames pack you could use.

Other than that, what exactly are you looking for? Foundry had some civilains from the WWII range which could work as 30s women as could any set that has partisans.

Iron Wind Metals has a woman or two in their gangster range.

Do you want "standing looking pretty" or "armed and very dangerous"?

Eureka do some and as Operator5 says Bob Murch does an excellent "Dangerous Dames" pack as does Mark Copplestone in his "Female Archaeoloigist" pack.

Do we live in the golden age of miniatures or what? We can finally look for 1920's women and dismiss them as not looking right for the 1930's!

Thanks Operator5 and 79thPA

I have been looking at fashion websites of the time. As a generalisation it seems to be feminine long fitted dresses for the thirties and then a slightly shorter but still fitted skirt and jacket for the 40's. Hats would be good to.

My other half is happy to use the 20's style figures but if we are playing a game set during 35-45 I would prefer someone dressed differently. Zombies and werewolves I can cope with but really like people to be dressed to the correct time.
Keep find charleston type 20's and lots of modern women but nothing 30-45. Just civilian nothing military.

And thanks tinned fruit.

That sentence just doesn't sound right:¬)

No harm in looking for the right figure. Only need one so I could convert if I had too.

No harm at all in looking for the right figure and no criticism intended - just a celebration of the variety of great stuff we have too choose from.

Good luck in your search but definitely check out those guys at Eureka.

Just remenber - try Pulp Figures Gangster range under "Gumshoes" as they have a "Lauren Bacall" figure as well as a dame with camera.

Just checked out Pulp Figures and the lauren bacall figure looks very good.

Brigade Games has some unarmed dames.

1930's women is all I seem to attract these days....... : )

Plus we sell the Eureka line as well as we are the U.S. Distributor.

Tinned fruit saith: "Do we live in the golden age of miniatures or what? We can finally look for 1920's women and dismiss them as not looking right for the 1930's!"

Heh, heh. Exactly.

If 1940 is OK, try Foundry's Dad's Army range. There is a sneering matron with a handbag in the civilians pack.

Check the WWI archives for 1920 Civilians topics.

I second the Foundry civilians: The fifth column lady with bike can easily be modified to loose the bike. If you like your women armed and preferably dressed in trenchcoat and beret, check out the many companys that make WWII partizans or resistance fighters: Black Tree, Old Glory, Bolt Action, Victory Force and Artizan to name a few. These often have a few "Yvette of La Resistance" style women that would do well as 30ies-40ies hard dames.

I can recommend the Brigade figures which are very nice indeed.
