1st Duke of Yorks Own Regiment (A Very British Civil War)

[Lowtardog]

I was looking at the black and Tans for my Tyneside Scottish Terriers

 

You may laugh, just realised it read like the dogs myself

The Tyneside Scottish were territorial regiments and Territorials were known as Terriers

This is their headress so you know why I picked he figures

[Bungle]

The Great war Highlanders are worth a look and ive just sent for their early war Scots too. Ive a pic of the Scots Greys in 1940 and they are just WW1 style cavalry in SD hats- again Great War has the gear.

I picked up the Brigade Miniatures scots command in Northstars bargain basement! quite useful figures too

Id planned to use the B&T's as auxiliaries and the RIC as police. The B&T look suitably paramilitary and mean that the BUF figures are kept to a minimum for use as shock troops, they dont look quite "soldierly" enough to serve in the front line - but I can see them being trucked in to shoot up trades union militias and stiffen aux units.

Should have my Gordons finished this weekend and start my 1/48 Airfix Hawker Fury

Been a while since i've posted an update on this thread, but here are the latest members of the Duke of York's Own Regiment.

First up some more riflemen/officers - mainly Musketeer Miniatures, with some GWM mixed in.



One slightly blurred Cyclist squad (Foundry), and some Great War Miniatures Support Weapons for the Yorkist Front.







...and, and some more vehicles...



 

[gamer Mac]

great stuff
Some very nice figures.
Really like the vehicles
Where are the buses from?

[AKULA]

Busses are 1:50 scale Corgis

Try on Fleabay - the larger ones are AEC Regals - very common in 1938.  The slightly smaller one (nearer to the camera) is an OB Bedford, whcih technically speaking only went into mass production after the war was over, but there were some around in 1937/38.

Now those look cool I must float the idea of A Very British Civil War to the guys in the club

[Mr.J]

They are great, I really like your vehicles with the Yorkshire Rose on! The cyclists are cool too.
Such a good group of minis!

Just came across this topic, those figures and vehicles look fab.
