Is that single brested suit? Wooly Pully and blazer?

Looks like it :)

Any chance of a figure with a Boyes?
Even in a Greatcoat/rain coat, head swaps will make them suitable for anyone.
-
It's a Tank Top and shirt combo. Will be doing the Roller Skating messenger in the command pack along with officer in Plus 4s and Tommy Gun.

Woman: Dennis! There's some lovely filth down 'ere! (noticing Arthur) Oh! 'Ow'd'ja do?
Arthur: How do you do, good lady. I am Arthur, king of the Britons. Whose castle is that?
Woman: King of the 'oo?
Arthur: King of the Britons.
Woman: 'Oo are the Britons?
Arthur: Well we all are! We are all Britons! And I am your king.
Woman: I didn't know we 'ad a king! I thought we were autonomous collective.
Man: (mad) You're fooling yourself! We're living in a dictatorship! A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--
Woman: There you go, bringing class into it again...
Man: That's what it's all about! If only people would--
Arthur: Please, *please*, good people, I am in haste! WHO lives in that castle?
Woman: No one lives there.
Arthur: Then who is your lord?
Woman: We don't have a lord!
Arthur: (spurised) What??
Man: I *told* you! We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune! We're taking turns to act as a sort of executive-officer-for-the-week--
Arthur: (uninterested) Yes...
Man: But all the decisions *of* that officer 'ave to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting--
Arthur: (perturbed) Yes I see!
Man: By a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs--
Arthur: (mad) Be quiet!
Man: But by a two-thirds majority, in the case of more major--
Arthur: (very angry) BE QUIET! I *order* you to be quiet!
Woman: "Order", eh, 'oo does 'e think 'e is?
Arthur: I am your king!
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you!

That's the bare true!

Nice flag, but would Uncle Joe have allowed such an obvious spelling mistake?
-
The spelling, use of capitals, positioning of wording are taken from a real union banner.
The original was almost black with age and the lettering wasn't very clear, so I ripped the embroidered bits off and reproduced it as close as I could. The letters should rise and fall a bit and look a bit more hand cut out, but the spelling of Yorkshire and class is as per the original.
I guess the Russian workers weren't used to our alphabet.
I have been working on a few for the competition at GWP, but I guess I will miss the deadline as the site is offline. The hardest bit was getting the flag effect.
-
Now chaps...I know this a long shot...
But how about slicing some of those militia greens in half, sculpting a Kilt and replacing the tin helmets with glengarrys or balmorals??
Perfect for the Scottish republican forces which no doubt are small and lacking somewhat in equipment, but keen to maintain their new independance!
Go on...you know you'd love to!!

Damn your eyes man now I want to sculpt them as well!.

Sounds like the soviet workers were stronger on solidarity than spelling. Better than the average Yorkshire miner's Russian, I bet...
-
Roll on Penarth - like to see these "in the green" as t'were"!

This figure for the command pack will be at the show as well. The only way to get a message to you company commander.

Is this an "official" game or is it a combined effort by some fans and manufacturers?

It is not a "game" as in figures, rules etc, but a sourcebook creating a most interesting background as a base for an alternative historical setting and the opportunity to fight an (international as it were, due to the possibility of international brigades) conflict in the pre-WWII period. Great if you like all sorts of interwar stuff combined with early WWII and late WWI. Since the setting is partly imaginary, for me it has the feeling of a Darkest Africa game in 1930's Europe. Figures are already on the way (though many excisting historical ranges can be used), rules are certainly to follow... Furthermore, since armour, infantry etc was in rather limited supply, you don't need huge numbers or large units to field an acceptable force. This is the opposite of a GW game (so to speak) in terms of freedom of choice.

Now if we could only gat a proper Unit of home Gaurd on Roller Skates..................
-
In David Carroll's book on the home guard there is a pic of jolly chaps on rollerskates, being trained by Harry Lee (British Rollerskating Champion) as 'dispatch racers' apparently they could do 40mph on a good city street but pigeons were still reckoned to be faster- yeah but they had to contend with Dick Dastardly and Muttley!
