Market Blandings LDV 1940
« on: April 20, 2010, 10:06:13 PM »
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.

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful stuff.  :)
