As part of their 'Right Bloody Mess' collection, Eureka Miniatures released this set of amputees based on a Melbourne street gang called the Crutchey Push. Or maybe the Crutchy Push, spelling seems to be inconsistent. The gang these models is based on was active roughly around 1900-1905, but their clothing style allows them to fit in with my interwar folks.
Most of the Crutchy Push members were missing a leg, but one had an amputated arm. This member is depicted by the man in the blue shirt. His weapon of choice was a broken brick that he had hidden in his empty sleeve.
The two crutchies above could simply be amputees moving through the city as best they can. The three below however are showing a bit more aggro!
These men will add some more diversity to my 1930s tables.
