The priest is a Great War Miniature - not sure where the other guy is from.

Lovely PJ though.

they were done ages ago but I've only just got round to taking pics.
Don't worry WK you'll get a chance to buy them :D

Both are GNW I think, or one may be Anglian/Musketeer.

Nice conversion on them Red you could if you ant and have a very steady hand paint on the AVM ranks slides on his shoulders or as bands around his sleeves. Not easy though in this scale

it's a small amount of flock/scatter mixed with various shades of olive stones (dark & light), available from 4D Model Shop (http://www.yellowcatshop.co.uk/shop/default.asp?clientid=14&gid=4dmod&tabcatid=3500011&viewstate=34817&txtsearch=olive+stone)

Nice models.  The chap in blue is improperly dressed though.  The RAF do not wear Sam Browne belts - that is an Army form of dress - they wear cloth ones the same colour as the uniform.  It would be more appropriate on the Padre. 

The Padre is wearing an (almost) RAF style service dress and the AVM an (almost) army one.

Could you please tell me the correct dress for Z Division?

Title: Re: Alt WW2 Army Priest & RAF Bloke

Z Division (yes it existed) was an American organisation to study future warfare established at the end of WW2 to create the US nuclear stockpile.  It took over from Openheimer's "Manhattan Project".  I would assume that the military wore standard US Forces "office" uniforms.  The scientists and civilians propably wore appropriate period civilian clothes and the same for the administrative staff.

Given the national superpower emphasis I don't think that the British provided anyone to Z Division in New Mexico.
