Ah! I see now... Is this a private thing or will it be for sale? Dear lord would I like one of THOSE!

The tank is actually what made me first think of Harleys, as their famous wartime WLA had the long flat teardrop design as well. The rifle holster also fits too:



Actually, the rather marvellous 'two option' Brough Superior, with the ability to represent the 'historical' and 'movie' version of T E Lawrence will be the 2019 Show Giveaway Miniature for Wargames Illustrated - you subscribe to the Print magazine, you get one free!

Here's another sneaky peak.

And these two Damned Panzer Crewmen will become part of the Wargames Illustrated Giants In Miniature range during 2019.

Cheers  Helen,

I suppose it'd make more sense ,if I made more sense. So here we go.

The Chinese figures are a combination of musings. whole league (foreground) is a combination of three real people and a sketch from 'Fram' ,The Chinese cannon fodder are inspired by Lon's back of beyond thread. Then all wrapped up in a out line for a Pulp Alley supplement.
The Mummy us for a Pulp sarcophagus. As my six year old thought it'd be funny if the mummy did an Egyptian 'Dab' as it stood up.

The Green man alter is a cancellation ( found the sculpt a little uncomfortable for gaming in his church hall.So I made him something less English and more American .So he's a happy bunny) I'm just plodding along adding left over clay to finish it off . As it seemed a shame to waste the work this far on.
The Matilda tank turret is a Blitzkrieg product. (I think.) 1st corps have me making crews for English and Germans Simon sent this and a mk iv turret to scale the crews on. I've a four piece English crew done so far.
The nurses are for Sally 4th. As is the Golden Monkey set.
It's an interesting range figures that nod at characters not the Actors.(in the case of the tales of the golden monkey,that's not a bad thing.) rather than doing  'Not' figures.
Once you take a step back its an idea that works. How many actors have played, Sherlock Holmes?,or Batman,or Buck Rodgers,and so on. Always the same character just different faces.(plus there's no stepping on toes )
Don't get me wrong I'm dropping real people in amongst the characters. The Casablanca nods have Johnny Vegas hidden in they're ranks.

Mark.

Errrr.. British tank crew dear boy..  British. 
Wargaming since the dark ages...

Only off garrison, and on active ;)

Just knocking up a quick owl bear built it yesterday painting tonight as number three son needs one for his game tomorrow.( a little more notice would have been useful . But a hairdryer is even more useful so it's doable.)

I thought I'd better update my workbench thread before it disappears into the eather . (Simply left unused as other  my projects of late have ended up with their own threads).
So here's a few finished musing for Home front and the Follies.
