Old Brigade 28mm Miniature

This picture is of an old Brigade miniature I completed sometime ago. I believe the old gent is 28mm tall.

Two Sources for Captain Nemo Miniatures

There may other sources for Captain Nemo miniatures, and I would sure appreciate a mention of these. Please feel free to leave a comment.

Extraordinary Personages (captain Nemo (Prince Dekker) and Mr. Griffin)

Brigade games offers set of miniatures that include a Captain Nemo character. The characterization and impetus seems to come from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a graphic novel, by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin O'Neill. I believe these are 28mm miniatures.

Reaper Miniatures also offers a Captain Nemo miniature. The inspiration for this 25mm miniature seems to be the British actor James Mason, which played Captain Nemo in Disney’s Twenty Thousand League’s under the Sea.

New Pulp Figures Added to My Pulp Collection

I received four new 28mm pulp figures in the mail a few days ago. I mentioned them in my “Two New Miniature Categories", post about a week ago. The three figures with rifles are from Artizan Designs’ Thrilling Tales collection. This set three of their Sky Pirates.

Artizan’s Thrilling Tales figures are no related to the game or the interactive online pulp magazine with the same name. According to the people at Artizan the Thrilling Tales collection was named to “convey the spirit of the range”.

The forth miniature is from Brigade. I added this figures as the command element; he is Capt. John Starr, Fighter Squadron Alpha.

I have already given these figures a grey base coat and am waiting delivery of the necessary paints to be delivered.

Two New Miniature Categories

I am waiting on my first order from Brigade Games. I ordered a set of Artizan Designs’ Sky Pirates, a Brigade command figure to go along with the set, and two other Brigade figures. The other two figures are of old men. The Brigade calls the one the Jolly Old Man and the other is old man carrying a lantern.

The new categories are Sky Pirates and Rocket Men, and Old Men. Sky Pirates and Rocket Men will come under the category of Pulp and the Old Men Distinguished Gentleman will be a sub-type under whatever category that the miniature seems to fit. These two old men miniatures will be added to my collection of Fantasy miniatures as they both display characteristics associated with this category.
