Visit An Alternative Australia With Eureka Miniatures 1930’s Range
October 6, 2017 by brennon
You can now go and visit an Alternative Australia soon with some new models coming out from Eureka Miniatures.
Leading the way we have the Crutchy Push Gang who are a bunch of amputees who are facing off against the state in an effort to carve out a little empire for themselves.
The models here have been sculpted by the talented folks Alan Marsh and Paul Clarke. They look great and it's neat to see some very different looking models thrown into the mix.
Facing off against them we have these Victorian Policemen who have clubs at the ready. I'm not sure I'd feel good about beating up an amputee...
Last but not least we have my favourite model from the bunch which is the Double Armed Heroine.
I wouldn't want to mess with a woman who dresses that sharply. She would be a fantastic gangster to throw into the mix when it comes to taking down the state.
What do you think of this alternative range?

They are really cool!
I take it the crutchy push gang are minus 1 on movement ?
Eureka are doing nice work , in an odd era. 1930’s great depression Australia is an odd place to have a game set in it.
We had some crazy stuff going on. Fascists and Communists were fighting each other before the Police squashed them both, Squizzy Taylor was bringing large scale Narcotics to the black market for the first time and “Razor Gangs” were slashing one another with straight razors to control the illegal gambling and bootleg alcohol trade.
Yes but Tilly Devine and her oppnnents were in New South Wales not Victoria, and I have no doubt that interstate parochialism was the same then as it is now, none of the States’s police services dress the same. I am just really curious as to the story behind these models, there has to be one.
Oooh god I love what Nic and his team are doing here, looks like Im going to have to take a walk over to Oakleigh and say hello 🙂
These are not fictional. They was an actual gang in Melbourne that was called Crutchy gang and the requirement to join was to be missing a limb.
