Finishing up a project, I got to wondering if you have painted up any figure representing someone who was, or would become, President of the U.S. If so, which ones?

I have Ulysses S. Grant in mind and I am aware that there are figures representing:
Trump
Washington
Andrew Jackson?
Eisenhower?
Teddy Roosevelt

For polling purposes the question should be: Which of the following do you have painted up?

Pictors Studio26 Mar 2018 6:33 a.m. PST

I've painted Washington a number of times now. I don't know how many, at least 5 I would guess.

I don't think I've done any of the others, including Grant.

Ceterman26 Mar 2018 6:53 a.m. PST

Washington in 25mm, Eisenhower in 54mm & I think that's it. If I tried the so-called current one, my brushes, every one of them, would burst into flames…

Old Wolfman26 Mar 2018 7:11 a.m. PST

Used to have a Marx "White House" model with figures of all the POTUSes up to Nixon or Ford. Coolidge in a straw boater hat.

Winston Smith26 Mar 2018 7:13 a.m. PST

Washington

95th Division26 Mar 2018 7:42 a.m. PST

Washington in 25mm.

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP26 Mar 2018 7:57 a.m. PST

25mm Grant
25mm Jackson
25mm T Roosevelt

and few alternate or future history POTUS

25mm Robert Lee as a post-war civilian
25mm Arnold Schwarzenegger
25mm Dr. Condoleezza Rice
25mm Lex Luthor
25mm Compte Du Masque (pulp villain)
25mm herd of unarmed civilians (gender, age, complexion, and species (including demons/undead) diverse) in dark blue suits who could (and have) fill in for POTUS

I need a Snake Plissken figure …

cavcrazy26 Mar 2018 8:18 a.m. PST

Washington, Jackson, and Grant.

I believe that I still own a RoCo Eisenhower, along with Stalin, Churchill, and De Gaulle, and an Atlantic (or maybe ESCI Mao). All are in 1/72 scale. I've never painted any of them.

Patrick Sexton Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2018 8:45 a.m. PST

Theodore Rex.

IronDuke596 Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2018 9:57 a.m. PST

James Madison for Bladensburg.

rmaker26 Mar 2018 11:19 a.m. PST

James Monroe (Secretary of War then, future President), also for Bladensburg – in which battle he took an active (and less than useful) part.

Also Washington and TR.

KSmyth26 Mar 2018 11:42 a.m. PST

I have the Old Glory Madison for Bladensburg. They make a great Jackson figure too, and a decent William Henry Harrison.

I also have a couple of different Washingtons.

surdu200526 Mar 2018 11:59 a.m. PST

Zachary Taylor from the Mexican War.

BW195926 Mar 2018 12:53 p.m. PST

GHQ has a 10mm Abraham Lincoln with General Mead that I painted

Personal logo Flashman14 Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2018 1:05 p.m. PST

Ya – there are a few Lincoln's out there. OG15s for one.

Ed Mohrmann Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2018 3:42 p.m. PST

Washington, Grant and TR, all in their 'General' roles
(Well, Colonel for TR).

robert piepenbrink Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2018 3:45 p.m. PST

Hmm. Certainly a Washington or so. I think a Grant or two. There really should be a Jackson. I may need to speak to Old Glory.

Personal logo miniMo Supporting Member of TMP26 Mar 2018 7:56 p.m. PST

Not yet, but someday a Steampunk Grant would be in order.

Maybe a Colonel Washington.

I was on a Grover Cleveland kick a few years ago and somehow ended up with 7 of them in 4 different scales.

Great job on Gen. U.S. Grant, Flash !!!! gold star gold star gold star

Thanks Legion!

That's a great Grant!
