MiniArt 1/35 American Gangsters (38108)

The Prohibition era and the Depression years that followed produced a criminal underworld that became one of the defining mythologies of twentieth-century America — the tommy gun, the pinstripe suit, the fedora, and the fast car. The gangsters of 1920s and 1930s Chicago, New York, and Kansas City operated in a world that was simultaneously glamorous and brutal, their image simultaneously celebrated and condemned by a culture fascinated by the violence of organised crime. MiniArt's set captures American gangsters of this era in the authentic clothing and with the weapons of their trade — figures that bring a completely different narrative energy to 1/35 scale, suitable for Prohibition-era street scenes, speakeasy settings, or the kind of period American urban diorama that has no military parallel.

Organised crime in miniature — American gangsters of the 1920s–30s, in 1/35 scale.
