I've started painting up some of the Musketeer Miniatures 'British Milita' for our 1940 Operation Sealion games. They will make up the Market Blandings LDV to supplement the Foundry figures I already have.

Jeeves and Wooster, of course.

The lengths that Lord Emsworth will go to protect his prize pig, Germans beware!
Stirling work.

Very nice. Especially like the tartan on the plus fours.

I suppose they aren't dress like the grenadier guards, but they do look the part for meeting the enemy for a cup of tea.
Great looking bunch there, well done Dave.

Excellent work and be certain to give Jerry a jolly good bloody nose from me old chap :)
Love all the what if Operation Sealion stuff and anyone who knows me from Steve Dean's Forum will atest to my rantings on the subject :)
mmmmm........ now you have started me off again lol now just where did i put those German Paratroopers ???

Jeeves and Wooster, I love it. Knowing our perfect Jeeves, I'm sure that each bullet in the Lewis gun has been polished to an appropiate shine.

Loving Bertie's trousers, though I doubt Jeeves approves. It's simply not the thing for afternoon combat, wot?

I think the suit is okay for the country, but you know that the tie will not survive the next laundry day........... lol

Nice work there!
I am surprised that this is the first time the 'VBCW' figures have turned up in the guise of Sealionesque militia/LDV though. I'd have imagined that an invasion in 1940 would have seen far more volunteers come forward than there were uniforms for them, and with a few exceptions, the IWI and other Interwar figures would be ideal.
Colonel Blimp will however be issuing a reprimand to their CO as they are all 'out of uniform' and in breach of the Geneva Convention.

like the guys on the top left waist coat great work everytime!
-
Wonderful stuff. :)
God help the invading Hun when Aunt Agatha comes into play. "When Aunt Agatha wants you to do a thing you do it, or else you find yourself wondering why those fellows in the olden days made such a fuss when they had trouble with the Spanish Inquisition."
And please say that there'll be a Gussie Fink-Nottle, to constantly lose morale tests and get captured by the Germans!

Pulp Miniatures do some suitable figures.

I bought the Gripping Beast 'Chaps at the hunt' set at Carronade on Saturday to add a little 'Upper Crust' element to the LDV. For the past couple of Christmas games in GHQ we have had a Blandings castlt 'Pig Whooooey!' game, a sort of fun-no-firearms game. Perhaps this year the 1940 theme will rear its head as 'Adolph' tries to nobble the Empress of Blandings?
