The BUF are Anglian Carlists with Westwind heads, except the officer who's a straight SCW figure. The prone lewis gunner is a mix of Anglian legs, another Anglian Torso and gun with a Woodbine cap added with large pack, even the tank commander has had a headswap

The Sarge was a Black n tan, with a woodbine head and an arm from Crusader, along with most of the figures are Musketeer

Only took about 7 or 8 evenings in total to finish

Good grief..your painting table must have looked like a butcher's shop at some point, arms and heads all over the place.

Looks good though.

Looking good. Good conversions too.
Nearly finished my TA unit - mostly Musketeer with a few GWM for the Vickers gun and motorcyclist and some head swaps on a couple of WW2 jeep drivers to fit my staff car and truck. Tried some pictures on the corner of the Penarth game but they didn't come out very well. If I can find a square inch to set them up at home I'll take some more and post them here. I think I need to buy myself a bit more upmarket digital camera with some of my inheritance as well.
Once the kitchen's done I can clear the stuff off the wargames table into the new cupboards and we might have room to swing a cat in the house again. The granite worktops are being templated today so we're getting there...

The BUF are Anglian Carlists ...

When I first read this I thought it was an invented rightwing faction of Angli(c)ans which wanted to restore the Stuarts to the English (Scotish, Irish...) throne. Maybe such a group should rather be called Charliests...
