This was a tough one. Raz, who makes the Marshall's officer? Great fig.

Both lovely entries but the first one seems a bit rough,. while the second one has quite clean painting and a truck! I love how the tattoo turned out (MUTTI is much better than MOM ;)) and the overall look of the group is really coherent even though there is quite some difference between the types of models.

Chairface> It's an EM4 Rebel:

All miniatures are from EM4, although from different ranges. The 'officer' is the rasta from the rebel range: http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/REBELS.html. The truck is from a dumpstore.

Well, Pil beat me to it.

Edit:
(MUTTI is much better than MOM ;))

Decided at the last moment that MOM would be too corny and went for MUTTI instead :)

Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

The attention to detail on the 9th Road Marshalls swings it for me - the dust on the bottom edges of the greatcoat, the tattoo, and so on. All good!

Difficult one, this. Excellent theme (one of my favourite historical periods) for the first, slightly better execution for the second. Went with the Marshals since it includes a truck. :)

Great entries. I like Raz' entry the most: better painting IMO, better composition, better lighting and he painted a truck for his entry. Vote cast!

What figures are in the first one? I think I spy a converted Copplestone mini, but whose are the others?
Both very nice entries but this was my favourite.

Mr J,

sorry for the late reply. As you do not get any indication unless you post something on your own entry I did not see it until now:

From left to right:

-West Wind Volkssturm with Brigade German sailor head
-Brigade body with copplestone head
-Brigade body with renegadehead
-Brigade body with mauser added from Victory Games (very useful with hand attached)
-Brigade with West Wind head
