1930s Scout Leader and Boy Scouts

For my VBCW campaign, my poor photography does not do the miniatures and painting justice.
I would like to thank Tin Shed Gamer for the miniatures and Matt Brown for painting them for me.

That's the first time I've heard of a figure painter adopting a nom de pinceau. Still, it's a good one.

With head swops could they do as Hitler Youth?
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Unless you are really pedantic, yes. If you are, then you'd need to file down the scarves.

I'm now picturing a '30s German parody of Elstree Comedies... 'Lustspiel Elstree'; exactly the same plots and characters, except for the costumes and of course that nobody dares laugh unless he wants a beating.

These are fantastic. Reminds me of the opening sequence in The Last Crusade...
