The 'Businessman' is an interesting miniature, I think it was sculpted by Trish Carden (Morrison) and released in 1987 exclusively on the offer sheet for the Slaughter Margin campaign pack where you got three of this miniatures!!! I wonder how many lucky people purchased this offer?, what excites me the most about this miniature is that he makes a great Max Normal Judge Dredd's faithful informant who was sadly missing from the original citadel JD range.
I had all these ideas for painting him and was going to go for a pin stripped suit but I wimped out of this idea for now and had a go with contrast paints, I think the businessman is supposed to be from the old Nip-Cit as the eyes were tiny and oriental in appearance I widened them a bit with paint, not on purpose just my eyes are getting old, I gave him a grey and white moustache like Max appears in the comic now and complete black attire. He'll be a useful miniature for all sorts games. I will definitely be revisiting this miniature in the future.

Well that's almost another range complete and a few more Dredd posts coming up while I am on a roll.

Looks good - very City Banker! Perhaps you can try pin-stripes if you do end up with a trio!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see these again, thanks!
ReplyDeleteInteresting what you say about the face – I had assumed it was meant to be Max Normal but I just thought the face was a bit weird. Congratulations on tracking down another Holy Grail – what's your next even rarer one?
