Agreed, and very nicely painted too.

All you need now is a Blakey figure

Funny! I was convinced that was a humorous misspell.

Very good painting; I can't equal that. I've also used the Musketeer IRA officer for these and I've given mine white-topped caps. All we need is a Transport and General Workers Union banner..

The bases are rather drab…

Seriously, those are lovely painted figures

And not a single Reg Varney figure amonst the lot of 'em.

Very nice work by the way.

Nice work Tad - fits in well with the AEC Regal.

Millitant busdrivers - when they say "Exact Fare Required" they're prepared to back it up!

But please get those cool paintjobs off those hideous splattabases!

Thanks for the kind comments. This is the new banner bearer - the flag is based on the 1930s "Busmen's Punch" a left leaning union newspaper for the busmen's rank and file. Figure is Empress (ex-Anglian) with a Woodbine head. He will be varnished and based soon. Apologies for the poor photography.

Wow! Top banana!
Still got no bases then?

Nice big banner full of period feel. More room on top!
