That's a great bunch there Dave. Are all the figures Eureka?

Men in tweed mostly Woodbine (Gripping Beast), armed mob are a mixture of Ironclad, Perry (defence of Mafeking) and Footsore ( blokes with shotguns, albeit with a couple of head changes)

Wimborne Militia are coming along. They will include my schoolboys, the cricket team and rifle armed townsmen. A change of flag and playing mix and match with these clubmen will allow them to represent most towns in Dorset. However, first I need to paint my Bournemouth fascists.

I was born in Bournemouth (of course, Bournemouth was in Hampshire when I was born), so I'm very much looking forward to seeing your Bournemouth fascists. It's great to see all these local names in your forces. My great-grandfather helped build Throop Mill and lived in Holdenhurst Village. Maybe some socialist forces from Throop and Holdenhurst villages to oppose the bully-boy fascists from the big town? Great work.

Still needs weathering, but here is an addition to my AL forces, the first off the production line of the Sherborne Motors Armoured Carriers:

Nice. The hand painted "font" is very nice.

Good looking 'armoured' truck!

Your VBCW stuff looks great if  I could afford collecting another range of figures I'd get into it!

Completed Sherborne Motors Armoured Carrier:



My school cadets needed some appropriate artillery, so I gave them a trench catapult:

That is great (and a good use of the boy holding the watch- which is a bit of a useless figure for VBCW). where is the catapult crew from?

Woodbine WW1 Turks - both figures come with the catapult and only need head changes (heads also Woodbine WW1) plus greenstuff shirt collars and ties.
