This is all marvelous, I think my fave is the Housewife with the Lewis gun, but all are very impressive. :)

The buses are the Corgi diecast ones, I picked up two on ebay for £3.24, one of my luckier buys!

Looking good.

I picked up one of those Corgi buses cheap(ish) at a Toy Fair - very useful.

Glad someone's said where to get a lych gate. I was sure I'd seen one when I was trawling around, but I couldn't remember where. :( Now I'll get one fo my churchyard I'm building.

On Monday we played our second Very British Civil War game, down at the club.



This time the terrain was a lot more open, centered on a village green complete with duck pond.

Lots more photos and After Action Report on our VBCW Hobby Pages:

Chris - that's a lovely looking looking board. Haven't been to the blog yet so I don't know if there was any "netty" action... :D

Thanks Doug,

The action did not stray into the Netty's this time around, although we did have a Pulp Alley game a couple of weeks ago when the Major Plot Point (A Hostage) was placed under guard in a Netty.





Last week we released our first interior kit for our Interwar buildings. This costs £14 and includes the first floor, interior walls, staircase, doors, fireplaces, skirting boards together with a PDF download of all wall and floor coverings.

Chris,
The detailed interior is looking great. Mine arrived yesterday but no time at the moment to start work on it. Maybe at the weekend. Also, I now have the corner shop so looking forward to having a go at that as well!

As part of our Normandy Kickstarter project, I have designed a 28mm Norman Church that will fit into our VBCW range as well as the WW2 Normandy Range. It is actually based on my local parish church, St Mary's at Wath. Originally built by the Normans, it has been upgraded over the centurys and now sports some of those trendy gothic windows. The original has a crenulated tower roof, but to make it usable for Normandy as well we have made it also available with a pitched roof and a spire.


Pitched Tower Roof

Crenulated Tower Roof


The roof is removable for skirmish gaming inside.

The kit comes with prints of stained glass windows on transparent film and you can either download and print cover sheets or purchase professionaly printed sets.

This model (together with the rest of our VBCW range) as available at a discount through our Kickstarter at:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/179272384/normandy-photo-realistic-28mm-terrain
