 lol Thanks. I actually haven’t looked at this thread for over a year - someone has kindly resurrected it from the dead.
But it’s a useful reminder that I have more kitbashed figures for this setting to paint, so thank you ;)

They are kitbashed from various plastic parts. If you go back through the thread, you can find which parts I’ve used to make up each of the different figures  :)

Right, I’d better get back on it!

So that's, l-to-r, Bob the baker, Bob the bowman, Bob the brewer, Bob the bumboat man, Bob the butcher and Bob the builder.


An history lesson with Master Blood: How the family name was neccessary in in Nottingham. I found the translation of Perry to german. Birnenmost or Birnenwein. We all buy figures from Birnenmost miniatures. Very funny lol

It just occurred to me that there should also be a “Bob who’s really a girl” a la Blackadder  :D

Gadzukes you are right, I have Edmund, Percy, Baldrick and a passable Lord Flasheart. But I do need the rest of the gang and now I need a Bob also, thanks for that  lol

Time for a cunning plan ;) :D

I've duly been prompted to complete a few more Bobs - the burgeoning army of the peasantry, all named Robert. (The reasons why are lost in the mists of time ;))

These were originally a gang for FFOL, but I only need a couple more and I've got a (completely useless) unit for Lion Rampant lol

Newly added we have:

Bob the blacksmith with his beer belly - self-explanatory.
Bob the bodger, wild man of the woods, charcoal burner and spindle turner.
Bob the blower - the village's very own early warning man in the event of raiding robber barons and the like.
(He's a metal Drabant Miniatures viking, but passes well enough for a generic early medieval peasant)







The assembled peasantry so far, left to right: Bob the bodger; Bob the builder; Bob the bumboat man; Bob the butcher (everyone's favourite hate figure); Bob the brewer; Bob the blacksmith; Bob the brother; Bob the blower; Bob the baker, and Bob the bowman.

I've got a few more in the works...  lol
