The Bide-a-Wee Rest Home for Retired Gentlemen

[jp1885]

“Something must be done!” someone croaked, to murmurs of general approval.

“But what could we do? Our day has long gone.”

“Bah! You sound just like my son: ‘It’s time you went out to pasture and let us youngsters run the show.’ Well I for one am not sitting here while the country goes to wrack and ruin any longer!”

“Here here!”



I’d bought some second-hand golden oldie Grenadier gangster figures via this hallowed forum. Originally they were just going to be a bunch of gangsters who’d somehow wound up in Herefordshire, but as I was painting them it struck me how venerable they looked, and so I decided to morph them into a group of elderly chaps – Last of the Summer Wine with guns!

The eagle eyed among you will have also spotted a Saddam Hussein figure fro The Assault group – given away free as part of their Facebook promotion!

My dad watches that show every night on our local public TV station; now I won't be able to get the image of Truly, Compo and Smiler(!) running around armed!

I get the same image! 

Potential there for a BBC series!
