From TamsinP - Salutesville's Finest (105 Points)

"If these are Salutesville's Finest, I'd hate to see their worst!"

For my 10th entry (10 entries in 6 weeks? Am I mad?) I present a bunch of 28mm cops for my Mob Wars project, along with their transport.

The Vehicles are from Blue Moon's "Highways and Byways" range and the crew figures are also Blue Moon.

I will be adding decals at some point. If you care to take a look at the WIP pics on my blog, you will see that the inside of the back of the panel van has been fully painted.

To prove the crew figures are painted to a similar level to the rest of the cops:

"That Tamsin's got to be mad painting us up so well, when we'll hardly be seen!"

A detachment from Dixon Precinct...

...joining the squad from Murch Precinct

Deputy Chief Campbell* thinks The Untouchables' Jimmy Malone is a pussy. "He brings a knife, you bring a heavy machine gun. That's the Salutesville way."

*Named in honour of the Snowlord, as he has his work cut out doing such an excellent job of policing the hoodlums of the Challenge Mob.


You may have guessed from the precinct names that the first 4 cops are from Dixon Miniatures with the last eight being from Pulp Figures.

The paving slab bases were sculpted by me from Milliput so that they'd fit in with my earlier Blue Moon cops.

Now, let us see:
2 vehicles at 15 points each;
4 crew figures at half-of-5 points each (is that right Curt?)
12 cops at 5 points each
one HMG - I'd say it's a little small to count as a crew served weapon, maybe 5 points?

That should give me 105 points, putting me ahead of Alan, but sadly still behind Ian.


From Curt:

Between the Victorian/Steampunk submissions and the work from Dave and Tamsin we're being treated to a wonderful dose of characterful coppers over the past few weeks. 

I love those stretch Paddy Wagons (heading RIGHT over to Blue Moon after this post...). They look almost like diecast models - are they resin or white metal Tamsin? The drivers/passengers are an excellent touch.

While the Murch castings are marvellous, it's great to see the Dixon range getting some love in this popular theme (I particularly like the portly cop with the scattergun). 

Ah, and Deputy Chief Campbell looks like a proper, dictatorial, bossy loudmouth - how especially suitable (Hmm, I wonder if I can get a speaking trumpet on ebay? I could use it to call out to Sarah to fetch me more coffee and treats while I'm working on the blog - I'm sure she'd appreciate that...).

Great work Tamsin!
