Royalist Navy reinforcements... (My VBCW) 18/02

[Hu Rhu]

Looking good Paul.  Might I suggest that the various docks around the Medway could suit your purpose as a base.  Might Chatham be the answer??

Cheers, Gary.
Chatham is certainly a possibility but I may use that option for a base for the Anglican League Naval Platoon featured earlier.
 


Here is a closer shot of the Command Section of the CPGB platoon...



....although I think the chap on the right may well be moved over to lead an infantry squad as he has the same kind of aesthetic as the other two squad leaders that I have located.

  cracking figures and paintwork there mate

They would make a good cast for a pantomime too 

Cheers

Oh no they wouldn't!

[Constable Bertrand]

Oh yes they would!

Thanks, chaps!
That did make me chuckle.

Fair point, though, Bertie, they do look a little camp like that.
Maybe they need separating....



Back to the CPGB.
This time it is the Platoon support armour, in the form of a Vezdekhod....







More info on this curious little beast here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vezdekhod

How this little beast ended up in the hands of the CPGB is anybody's guess, but it has and is not the only form of srmour that they will take to the field with them....

That's a cool little model.

[Constable Bertrand]

Nice weathering Pablo, the stuck grass in the chassis is a nice touch

The operatic ladies on the left must know a good number of songs from the motherland to sing and encourage the workers forward.

Might you make as 'fiddler on the roof' figure from your banjo player?

I picked it up on the Bazaar recently or would never have known anything about the model.
Very quirky, which really appeals for my VBCW setting.
I just removed its base, added a little more weathering and 'mud' and debris and scrawl the lettering on the side.
I think that I will leave it just as it is as I am happy with it like that.

Or maybe just 'Knees up, Comrade Brown...' as it is a very British civil war.

You have given me a couple of ideas with that comment.
Cheers!

Some reinforcements for the Communists....



Two Lewis gun teams and section leaders. I still have another LMG to do for the other infantry squad.
And I must get a new bulb for the lamp as this one gives a rather strange colouring to the figures.

Maybe give the CP command squad a proper revolutionary banner? The lady with red bandanna seems to able to hold one?

That armour looks vicious!

More detailed historical information on the Almshouses:

I've been wondering what that building was by the crooked billet since I was a kid, Thanks Paul   

Great paintwork Jeff.

The CPGB have a banner in the works but I am afraid that the lady with the red headscarf is most likely defecting to the Penge WI as their banner bearer so the CP will have to look elsewhere.

Glad to be of service.
Another helpful tip is that is where to get off the bus when you pop round for a game in future....hint, hint...

Great paintwork Jeff.

Jeff has turned out quite a few lovely paintjobs earlier in this thread, but I have managed to actually paint quite a lot of the last few posts myself, ya know...?

So you did, especially the redhead with the Mauser, just about my favourite Copplestone woman
