The inclusion of the Deerstalker hat of course is a pointer to this figure being based on Sherlock Holmes, though he was not fat an ddid not wear bushy sideburns.

A Deerstalker has always been a rare type of hat, and one of Holmes' affectations, though he only wore it when on cases in the countryside. When on London cases, he wore whatever was appropriate to the occasion, and of course he was a master of disguise so maybe all the other klickies look more like Sherlock busy on a case than this one!  :lol:

Actually I've thought that if you take the detective special and the Chimney sweep and switch their hats you have Holmes and Watson in the country. With the detective as Watson, which I think is a better fit.

Watson wasn't fat either, until Nigel Bruce played him.  :(

Excellent, excellent idea... I need to start buying the victorians sets, i have so few of them and they do look awesome !!!! And a great idea this is , would make a fine picture with a 5300 in the background ..............

That would be great Panos.  I'll pm you some photos of shields and weapons that may be of use to you that I could trade.
