Some Dad's Army on the Workbench

I've been painting a bunch of Dad's Army figures from Foundry recently, here's the latest lot on the workbench:

Thanks everyone for the encouragement

Nice work. the old Foundry Dad's Army figures are so much nicer than the Warlord ones. As the old ad said 'Accept no substitutes'.

top job

Wow! Amazing paint jobs!

I must confess to not 'getting' Dads Army though and the look of the new film doesn't help matters for me!

But you can't deny, great painting on good figures though! Well done!

Wha...?  Dad's army is the funniest.

Also this period is very interesting for a 'what if' scenario even if you play it straight and not silly.

Beautiful paint job on great minis based on a great series. Should watch the series again as it has been some years by now.

But, there are other opinions regarding the series too, so Andym you are not alone:

[Rob_bresnen]

I think that is valid criticism. Growing up I imagined the home guard were incompetent old duffers, but as I learn more about them I realised how desperate things were at that time (1941-42) and how brave they were. Like the Volkssturm in Germany, they would have fought to the end to defend their homes. Like I said, if silly doesn't float your boat you can play the home guard serious and it would make a very interesting campaign.

All of that doesn't make the superb comic acting in Dad's Army any less funny.

Lovely work - they look great! Particularly nice job on the details, insignia and such.
