US Secret Service - Federal troops

The American Secret Service foothold in the center of the vast British Empire could not be maintained without some solid backup in the form of veteran federal soldiers. Hank, Bill and Ulysses are three such distinguished troopers. They are no stranger to human conflict, but the foes they will face in the streets of London are something else altogether...


For the US of A!

Ulysses

Hank


Bill
All three figures are prepainted King and Country figures. Only the bases were repainted to match the rest of the collection.

US Secret Service - Faction Overview

Like many other foreign powers, the USA have taken an interest in the strange occurrings in London and have dispatched some members of the Secret Service to investigate. Setting up temporary headquarters in the American Embassy, they are lead by experienced agents James West & Artemus Gordon.

The members of the faction so far...

US Secret Service - Indian Scout

James West and Artemus Gordon are competent agents, but the President in his wisdom, decided not to send them into the occult kettle that London has become without some army backup. One such soldier is the native scout, Sniffing Bear. Hopefully his tracking skills will be just as effective in smogfilled London as on the open prairies...

The native brave in all his splendour...


The model is another gorgeously painted figure from King & Country. I only modified the base to transport him to the cobblestone streets of London.

Evil Spirit, go away!

This paleface seems to be more pale and even uglier than the other palefaces!

US Secret Service - Wild Wild West

The strange events unfolding in London have attracted concern and interest from foreig powers, including the President of the United States, who dispatched some of his best Secret Service agents: the fearless and handsome James T. West and Artemus Gordon, a brilliant gadgeteer and master of disguise. Their unending mission is to protect the President and the United States from all manner of dangerous threats.

The fearless American agents...

James West had served as an intelligence and cavalry officer in the US Civil War on the staff of Ulysses Grant. His cover is that of "a dandy, a high-roller from the East, though after years in the Service, his reputation as the foremost Secret Service agent often precedes him.


Artemus Gordon, who was a captain in the Civil War, had also been in show business. His many inventions and disguises prove invaluable tools to complement West's brazen courage and combat skills.


James West is a minor conversion of a Del Prado gambler figure. Some minor adjustments to the hat and chin (the original had a square face that just didn't match the character well enough) and a suitable paintjob are all it took. Artemus Gordon is a standard King & Country civilian figure that only had his base repainted. They are inpsired by the original TV-show of course, not that Will Smith travesty of later years.

Madam, you look unwell...

So you're what passes for agents in this country?

Aheheh... maybe I should travel overseas too...
