They are of course from Black Cat Bases, bought over two years ago and finally painted up save for their accompanying dog who joins all the other mutts I'm slowly collecting.
They aren't "named" like so many other ranges of figures, but the second chap from the right looks remarkably like Paul Teutul Snr. from "Orange County Choppers (and was painted up on BCB's site as such).
They're comparatively as poorly armed as the the other gangers I've recently featured, with pump-action shotgun, Bfg 9mms, a chain and an J7-Omg - machine pistol. They're wearing typical biker gear of denim, vests and not much more of course, with red bandanas for those that have them.

I really do like this figure a lot and as I painted him up he started to look very much as I remember my dad strangely enough, down to the row of medal ribbons and even the figure's facial features, though the "chicken guts" on the cap peak did elude him.
This batch, like the two previous just need to be varnished before they are stored away.
My gaming table is out of commission until it's tidied up, a job that at least I've began to start on, but hopefully next week will see my first post on the houses I've been working on.
I have one new follower to welcome Hunterpest whom I'm sure many of your will already know. He runs the Project Zeke line of miniatures, which are well worth a look.
That's it then for another week and as always your comments are both welcomed and appreciated, after all, I'm sure they're what keeps most of us blogging
Well you have been busy. That's a "Good" looking bunch of bikers you have there proficient looking if they are going to take on the Hispancs you showed last time.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work.
Thanks Clint, they may well feature against the hispanics when I try out my revised shooting rules.
DeleteGreat looking bikers out of all those sets I kick myself the most for not having got these. Love the Police Chief I can't help be reminded of Captain Harris from Police Academy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brummie, Harris he is then !
DeleteNice work, Joe. I can identify the police officer for you. He's from Copplestone Castings Future Wars set FW35 Trooper Officers. He's supposed to be military but as you've shown, he works just as well as a high ranking cop.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan, good spot on the officer type too - it's no wonder he's such a nice clean casting.
DeleteNice job Joe. Cool looking biker gang, nice Top Cop too. More fences, can't wait to see them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob, the fences are going to be what I would call "back-yard fences", rather than the quickly made country fencing I threw together.
DeleteNow there is a bunch of tough looking chaps that you wouldn't want to cross!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael, though I think of them as just ageing hippies and wannabe bikers
DeleteGreat work. That's definitely Paul Sr, no doubt on the rampage against clutter and untidiness in the workshop!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul for the confirmation and I think I have seen the real-lif Snr, in a rampage ! - but with a shotgun ?
DeleteNow your talking! These are nice figures and I must say I love the police chief.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert, I must admit to having more of an affinty with the bikers too
DeleteNice work on the bikers any name for them? " Sons of Anarchy" ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks HW, I don't really "name" any of the figures I have, I prefer to think of them as multi-use. Unfortunately I haven't managed to see SoA yet, but I do wish to.
DeleteI'm guessing my first thought for the name of the left-handfigure was probably unsuitable (It was Nigel)
Blimey, if you think that shotguns, pistols and submachine guns are lightly armed civilians then what is heavily-armed :-) ? I think of kitchen knives and improvised melee weapons as "lightly armed", for a civilian :-) !
ReplyDeleteHaha, I actually don't think of these as civilians though, in my mind they're gangers, my civilians are mostly unarmed !
DeleteVery nice work! and that Chief of Police looks like he could have served as a Douglas MacArthur figure hahaha
ReplyDeleteThanks SoH, the Officer-type could serve for any uniformed figure I'm guessing - Afrcian Dictator even ?
DeleteReally like those bikers! Well donem ate!.
ReplyDeleteCoffee stirrers....A multi tool for us!
Thanks LS, yes I'm currently having a build of coffee stirrer frenzy.
DeleteVery cool minis, would love to see the doll houses.
ReplyDeleteThanks BC, the Doll House build saga starts nextt week !
