AnY Chain gang sets? (1 Viewer)

[steveo]

Hi This might seem like a strange request from a British forum member
Is there any company that produces metal figures of a Chain gang,Guard/boss figures unmounted or on foot or for that matter any prisoners and wardens?
Just been watching Cool Hand Luke and it sort of wetted the appetite for the above!
Also anybody know what happened to a company called Red box soldiers they used to produce excellent gloss Sudan camel figures.
keep up the good work

I know of some one who converted some marx figures into a chain gang. He used the marx cival war strecher bearers for the chain gang members with chain from an old necklace and for the gaurds he used the marx cavalry figures from the fort apache. You know the one with the gun resting across his chest and the officer walking pose.
I thought of doing one myself but try not to steal others people ideas or at least give the person who came up with the idea the credit.
You could also take the marx cavalry figure with the riffle over his head and have him attacking the marx cival war figure crawling on his knees if you cut his gun out.
Just some food for thought for you. I think they would paint up nice and make for a good little set-up.
To get the cain on the ankles of the figures you could use some small split rings through the chain and then around the ankles. The same for the hands but maybe a smaller split ring and some two part putty ball and chains also.
