TYPES OF THE VBCW (22) - BOULEVARDIER (AND WORKER)

As this is the 22nd post on the theme of "Types of the VBCW", appropriately enough, its a double bill:

The "Boulevardier" and the Worker

The nearest English equivalent to a "boulevardier" would be "a man about town", and with his cane, homburg, monocle and luxuriant moustaches, our gentleman on the left would seem to qualify. Perhaps useful to denote an artillery observer in "WTDW", but even better as a player character in the forthcoming "VBCW Hereford - the RPG". On the right, a typical 1930s "worker" - a horny handed son of toil in overalls and flat cap; either ready for a fist fight or ideal as a member of the crew of a proletarian "Big Gun".

Both of these figures come from a Blue Moon boxed set, titled "Things that Go Bump in the Night". Although some of the figures can only be used in Victorian Adventures, quite a few are adaptable (in various guises) to the 1930s:
