    This is my last batch of minis for 2018: some 1930s civilians. These will do as scenario pieces for WW2 and VBCW. They’re from Footsore Miniatures and they’re bloody nice. There are two sets: town and country people. The first five are the town folk: a schoolboy; woman about town; and various lads in suits.

    And from the country, a couple of labourers; schoolgirl; old battleaxe and my personal favourite – the priest (who looks very familiar – more of this sort of thing!)

    lovely stuff. I’m a big fan of Bill’s sculpts, I even picked up some of the IRA figures to use as 1920s gangster types/Sealion british troops

    These are superb, not a weak sculpt to be seen. I’ve a squad of socialists done a while back and have a few more things to throw at this project-that’s-not-a-project.

    And now with added me wittering on about it:

    Neat video . Very nice looking figures . The town lads look very much like the younger platoon members of Dad’s Army in civy attire . ( just binged watch a couple of seasons worth so its on my mind at the moment ) . The whole group might also  work as  towns folk for a ” Eagle Has Landed  ” type game .

    Cheers Cromwell. I still have those Dad’s Army minis sat in their box. I really ought to get them painted!

    Some more additions, this time the Enemy Agents set from Warlord Games:

    Here we have our raincoated spy chap and some tweedy posho with a case:

    And here are Warlord’s sculptors having a laugh. Very identifiably German with their jackboots and stickbombs.

    And finally, not part of the set but a couple of partisans that will fit nicely with my workers’ militia – and got me over Warlord’s free postage threshold 🙂

    I’m having a great time painting these.

    Very nice and I love the figures too,they are sculpted by Paul Hick. I think they are some of the best civies on the market. I am a big fan of Very British Civil War

    Some more … eccentric minis from Warlord Games. This time it’s the Allied minis from Operation Sea Lion from Warlord.

    And some smart lasses at the end (one’s face is a bit washed out in the photo, she’s a lot better in the flesh, as it were).

    I love these minis from Warlord. Their sculptors must be having a great time.

    There’s also me banging on about them on the telly, if you like that sort of thing:
