All,
I have a figure that a friend gave me ayear or so ago, as it fit into a project I've been working on. The base identfies it as being a Grenadier model from 1992. The figure is definitely a gangster type, flat, cap, pea coat, sawed off shotgun in one hand, automatic in the other. A great figure, and I'd love to see what else was in the range. Any ideas? |

Look here. It could have come out of the Cthulhu or Secret Agents sets. link |

Fabe, Thanks for the tip, but no luck. I will say that the figure look better sculpted than the ones I looked at. It is a large figure, roughly 30mm from sole to eye. |

Hmmn, googling "Grenadier Models Gangster", does turn the figure up as being a CoC model, but it isn't on the page you sent the link for. |

Is it one of these, nnascati?: link |

Look under their Gangbusters line. I had a blister of G-Men that I sold off to Murphy about a year ago. I think it was from that range. |

Could be the one in Mirliton's set nm006, pea coat,sawn off & pistol. The other figures in the set are older than this one iirc. |

I have that figure too but not from Mirliton. I see that it is in their list, did they take over making Grenadier figures? At first this figure was too big for the rest of the 25 mm gangsters that I had, but now it fits in quite well with 28 mm figures. |

Bob, no, you don't have it, you gave it to me! :)
I finally got around to painting it, and was curious as to other pieces in the range. |

Yep, he is a great figure, but clearly done by a different sculptor than the other pieces. |
| Palewarrior | 11 Oct 2017 7:38 a.m. PST |
I think (but I'm not 100% sure)that the larger sculpts, like the Gangland gunmen & Mad scientist's where done by a UK / European sculptor. The other older ones, by one of their regular American sculptors. |
