Mean Sets


"Dice, Figures... ACTION!"

“Mean Sets” provide inexpensive but highly practical interiors in which fans of role-playing games of the first half of the 20th Century may place and move their 25/28mm scale alter egos. These Sets complement TVAG's line of 25/28mm scale City Blocks, "Mean Streets," but not designed to fit inside the buildings themselves.

Though very expensive resin models of entire buildings and even some interiors are available, the plain fact is that they do not lend themselves to the filmic nature of "Pulp Fiction" games. Even if there is room to physically reach down into the model to move figures, no one can see the action except from above: Fine miniatures, beautifully painted, but only whose heads/hats/shoulders are visible to players who can only look directly down on them!

The obvious solution was to draw a lesson from the Hollywood that inspires so much of the hobby’s imagery. That is, place the action on classic movie “Sets”: Rooms without ceilings and only two or three walls so that the characters can be seen as they move and interact. During games, it now is possible not only to do this, but players can have the fun of actually seeing the action at eye-level!

Each Set comes with decorations, furniture and/or other accessories including rugs, period art, posters, advertising, etc, that complement its purpose.

Some "props" are not practical in paper, so links are provided to other vendors of everything else you might need to dress your Sets, establishing the mood and period of your games. Candlestick telephones, cash registers, desks, chairs, beds, lamps, and even pull chain toilets (like the one that proved very useful in a certain classic Gangster film of some fame) are available.

More "Mean Sets" are constantly in the works—and, "Yes!," your suggestions are welcome!

Each "Mean Set" is provided in PDF format and delivered free by E-Mail for $10.00.

Sooner or later, your P.I. will find himself paying a visit to the top floor of society, be they retired politicians, industrialists, or just old time Big Shots who've made it. But since the shamus will never actually be a guest in this mansion, he doesn't need anything more than the front door, entry hall, and a room for him to cool his heels, surrounded by (ill gotten?) opulence while waiting to ask the owner some dangerous questions.... Recently extensively redecorated.

This comparatively small Set is just over 6" by 4", but comes with three different types of entry door (Vault type shown), with props and furniture to allow it to serve as The Mad Scientist Operating Room, or the site of his Electron-Dissing-Explodateriating-Krebulator, or perhaps the Cult Leader's Secret Library of arcane volumes, or even just a place to lie low. And in the best Saturday Serials tradition, 10 framed portraits of "Fearless Leaders" and Evil Masterminds are included to hang on the wall, from Hitler to Tojo to Lenin--and one last too horrific even to whisper!

But it's also where you can hire a guide before setting off into the desert, bribe officials to look the other way, or just to avoid the odd flying dagger, swinging garrote, or muffled gunshot!

Schofield's Flower Shop

The scene of the Capone Southside Mob's "hit" of Charles Dean "Deanie" O'Banion in 1924 which touched off the full blown "Beer Wars" in Chicago that did not end until the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Recreated in exacting detail from contemporary pictures, crime scene photos and drawings, this model provides a variety of uses for your Gangster/P.I. and other Role Playing Games. Another easily assembled "Mean Set," the Flower Shop requires only a short time to cut out and assemble, and if using the recommended standard foam board or 5mm MDF, it will be permanent for years of play.

Mean Set #20

The 33rd Precinct Police Station

Well, at last Law & Order come to "Mean Sets!"

The latest addition to this ever growing collection is the 33rd Precinct Police Station. Now it is possible for Games Masters and Players actually to "run in" their characters when it takes the Cops to sort out the mess they've gotten themselves into. With a waiting area in front of the Desk Sergeant, characters can now attempt to explain why it should be no concern to him why they were picked up just before Midnight climbing to the top of the Chrysler Building with an ancient book, 1000 feet of copper wire, a can of luminous paint, and an organ grinder's monkey.

After that's out of the way, the Characters may be released, but somehow seems more likely to be sent in to talk with one of the Detectives in his Office. Or perhaps they'll be escorted into the Watch Commander's Office, from which they can be taken into the "Interrogation" room for some physical culture--if they won't come up with a better story PDQ! And, just to cap off a fabulous evening, the whole party can be moved into quieter quarters back in the direction of the Cell Block. And, not to worry, but your female members of the party will be given over to the kind attentions of "Miss Manners," the Matron for the Ladies' Cells.

The Precinct Station comes with card models of the visible desks, file cabinets, all items shown on the walls, and even the Cathedral Radio. (All other chairs, telephones, radiators, typewriters, and the row of seats, with "guest" are from various vendors, all of whom are listed below. The Police Flivver out front, with driver, is from Lledo's 1:64 range of "Days Gone By" die cast models. The Desk Sergeant, Police Matron, Beat Cop with Drunk and Hooker are all courtesy of Mr. Bob Murch's "Pulp Fiction, Gangland Justice" range of figures. Don't be confused when you find this set named "The 16th Precinct!"

Mean Set #24

The Pulp Submarine

What villainous Pulp Mastermind doesn't have his own Submarine Boat on which to plot his latest plot to conquer the world--or at least a very effective means of escape after The Heroes dash his plans? And what better way to discover that Lost World of the Antarctic, or visit Skull Island without concern for Indian Ocean storms--though battling the odd sea monster on the surface might still be an issue!

Though not meant to be any particular actual Submarine design, this waterline model is perfectly representative of those of the Pulp era. However, there is no reason this model couldn't be used in more nearly historical war games, particularly with similarly scaled Tramp Steamers and other likely vessels.

This unique addition to "Mean Sets" is no more difficult to assemble than any, and easier than some. When finished, this model is fully 20" long, 4" wide, and 3.25" to the top of the Conning Tower gunwales. Like all other Sets, this one requires no painting, and only the usual range of recommended materials.

The Pulp Submarine Interior

So, you have your waterline Submarine model for surface actions and encounters of all Pulp varieties, but... what if the Heroes are taken prisoner by the Evil Mastermind? He could leave them on deck, but wouldn't it be better to bring them below, to wonder at the power of his invention, and to share a fine meal while he gives them every detail of his Master Plan? Well, you don't need to wish for it any longer now that the central interior of most of the Submarine provides spaces where the action can continue.

Ten inches wide, providing cut-away access to the Conning Tower, 1st and 2nd Decks, the fully assembled model, with all levels stacked upon each other, stands 6.75" high. However, all three levels are stand alone sets, accessible from top and sides for maximum utility.

The Conning Tower has the obligatory periscope, instrument panel, and the Weapons Control station, operating whatever terror weapon the Evil Mastermind is using today.

The 1st Deck includes the Mastermind's private cabin, with plush appointments, a comfortable bed, private book shelf, and plank deck with Oriental carpet. The central control room has more instrument panels, and the navigation station with maps, books, and charts on the desk top. The third compartment can serve any purpose, or carry whatever cargo the scenario may call for.

The 2nd Deck has a similar compartment forward--which would do nicely for the boat's brig and a place for the Heroes to plot their brilliant scheme to escape and take over. The central compartment has a "moon pool" allowing easy egress for the Mastermind's divers to perform their part in his plans. The aft compartment houses the boat's engines for surface running, and batteries for when submerged.

Open hatches on the Decks' front edges indicate passage from one to the other.

Prison/Jail Cell Block

So, you're day in Court provided you with a new home--Prison! At least you won't be lonely, sharing a cool room with your new mate. This interior comprises six separate cells divided by a corridor, at the end of which is a steel door that leads to... well, let's not think about that.

But not only States have Cell Blocks! For Pulp Gamers, your Evil Mastermind may wish to keep you and your companions on ice for awhile, or if you've been taken by the Gestapo/NKVD/Kempei Tai/Methodists, similar cells can hold you! And what can you do to pass the time? Plan your escape, of course! The Cell Block is one of the best scenes in high adventure films and stories--and crashing out is the height of action!

Another easy to assemble cardstock and foam board model, this one is offered as a "fixer-upper" (at reduced price) in that builders can provide their own bars or partitions. Pinup pictures, calendars, etc, are provided to place as desired, and even scratched years appear on some walls. However, this is the first "Mean Set" that may be tricked out with a dedicated Accessory Set. Invest another $10.00 for a complete collection of 7 sections of 3D Printed resin Bars (one for each Cell and the left end of the Corridor), 3 sinks, 3 loo's, and 3 double bunk beds and 6 fold-up cardstock mattreses--enough to fully furnish three cells, leaving the open ones in the foreground clear for action.

And this Cell Block is only the beginning! The Prison Yard and Main Gate (with guard towers), the Dining Hall, and Warden's Office/Infirmary are already designed and coming soon to complete your scenarios of capture and escape.

PDF: $6.00

The Cell Block Accessory Set is already available, too, for only $10.00. All items listed above come as detailed, unpainted models requiring no assembly (except those mattresses), ready for use as you prefer!

Mean Set #34
The Motor Court

After knocking over the Small Town Bank, you and the gang need to run to a hideout and lay low until the heat is off, and what would be more attractive than a small roadside Motor Court like the "Shady Rest?" With four comfy little cabins with native stone walls, you can cram into one, or spread out a bit, as you prefer. The old man in the Office won't mind that you're paying with fresh new bills for your stay, or when you ask him to run out to buy meals. Your getaway car can be kept off the highway and right next door, just in case you get some uninvited guests--in blue suits with Tommy Guns!

Made famous in fact and film, The Motor Court just off the main road is a staple of crime locales, and this model doesn't disappoint! The entire layout measures 20" in length and 7" deep with brick surface path which can be flanked with your own added trees/shrubbery for a more enticing look atop the grass textures provided. The Cabins are simple to assemble and come with many printed details on their interior walls, ready to be furnished with your choice of simple beds, tables, etc.

Easily one of the most attractive of all "Mean Sets," this one can join the Old Farmhouse to help move your adventures outside the confines of urban settings when your characters need to get a breath of fresh air, and all for the same price as any other "Mean Set."

Sources for Miniature Accessories To Complete Your "Mean Sets"

All the items available from these vendors are nominally 1/48 scale (1" = 48"), but are in fact perfectly scaled for 25/28mm figures. All are remarkably inexpensive (some items less than a dollar) and many of these items appear in the above photos of finished Sets. The only things in "O Gauge/1;48" that will not be of use are human figures. Far too large, and generally inferior to what war gamers are accustomed!

TVAG has no affiliation with any of these companies, but has happily done business with all.

Microform Models, Inc.
I have bought extensively from this source and am extremely pleased with their business and products. This link leads to their 1:48 Scale Catalog, but the company produces a plethora of architectural and other models in more scales than might be imagined. The "Theater Seats" in the Police Station are perfectly compatible with "28mm figures" and available here. Items for city streets and other uses may also be found here. And while their products may at first appear to be plastic, everything I have received so far is sharply cast in white metal. Go and enjoy!

Miniatures.Com
At this page you can get very reasonably priced plastic furniture set (Eastlake Victorian), including that pull-chain toilet! Look at the rest of their 1:48 scale items for a 16 piece collection of musical instruments (Violins, Bases, and a Grand Piano).


Oakridge Hobbies & Toys

The largest list of all types of accessories, from park benches and grand pianos, to candlestick phones and typewriters. Go to the "O Gauge" (1:48 scale) listings.


Valley Model Trains

O Grandt 1:48 Scale architectural, railroad, and industrial pieces, but also the only Barber Chairs I've ever found! (Use their Search Engine for instant gratification on these!)

Miniatures.com
Another source for 1:48 furniture, fireplaces, and other useful pieces, but also more expensive actual wooden furniture sets for the high-rollers among you.

Berkshire Valley Models
One of the best sources for fine detail items at very reasonable prices. Period cash registers, desks, typewriters, candlestick phones, the wonderful soda fountain set, Highly recommended to just go and see all that's available to help furnish and detail your favorite "Mean Sets."

Scale City Designs
Mostly O Gauge train accessories, but many, many very useful items, some of which appear to be unique to this seller, such as 1930' type refrigerators (two kinds), different cash registers than from others, etc. A particularly fine point is the bags of multiple items (1920's lamps, garbage cans, etc) for the same price as some others charge for singles of the same item.

Scenic Express
Excellent source for trees, shrubberies, potted plants, and more for exterior and interior decoration. This link is to their 1:48 Topiaries, just the thing for filling out The Flower Shop, the Big Shot's Drawing Room, and other Sets.
