From DaveD - Cops and the Ice Maiden (25 Points)

A top up for today, more Bob Murch Pulp.





And another from the femme fatale range




From Curt:So far, this has been a very good Challenge for Bob Murch and his wonderful range of models. I love the coppers in this entry with their Irish blue double-breasted long coats. 
The femme fatale is very fetching as well. With her red-fingernailed hands holding the glass of champagne, you can almost hear her breathily say, 'Happy New Years, Darling...'. 
...and just enough points to put a finger in Millsy's eye and take the lead... 
A fine day out Mr. Docherty!

  2. These are great. I love the blue on the police. The platinum on the blonde is also nicely done.

  3. The blues on those coppers really pop. Those highlights are just perfect for these figures. Also that oh so pale blue on the femme fatale is lovely.

    Where do you get the back ground features you are photographing your pulps with? I can't find terrain like this anywhere and I like the way your stuff looks.

    1. Thanks Anne. It's one of buildings I made for my gangster projects. The chequered floor is just a printed piece of paper , put up against the side wall of the building ..

  6. Top coppers Mr D. I'm not so keen on the Ice Maiden but that the sculpt, not your paint job which is lovely. She does seem to have a rather wide head and a big hooter!

    2. For G-Men you can always use gangsters and vice versa.

      It sounds as though we'll have a decent sized police force between us for BlogCon 3 :)

  13. The cops look great. The lady makes me think of a certain Disney princess though it appears the years have not been to kind to her.

  21. It's very cool to see you go between the 19th Century Desert and the Pulp Era. Nice contrast.
    The coppers are superb, I really like the blues. The dame is lovely The champagne glass is a tough paint, you did well with that.
