20mm WW2 Painted Early War British Infantry/Home Guard 1:72 scale.

Forgot to bring the camera home yesterday so a bit of a delay on samurai game pictures but until then some 20mm WW2 British infantry/home guard from SGTS' Mess, they come in a pack of ten, not the greatest of sculpts (needed a lot of cleaning, an awful lot), didn't come with an integral base which I don't like but some companies are doing this now? They didn't turn out too badly and will help to stem the tide of the German invasion.




Picture of the Redbrook Home Guard from the time.

    You make me realise just how pathetic my "toy soldiers" were as a child. I wish I had gotten into tabletop gaming instead when I was younger.

    Hey Boogerbutt. Popped in to say howdy. I did go back to sleep just for about 20 minutes more, while Miss Wiggy played in the dirt outside.

    She's such a goof.

    These are great. Of all history's what-ifs, I think the invasion of the UK is one of the most fascinating. I look forward to seeing the project's continued development!

    those fellows in that picture are hardcore. Much respect to all the old vets still alive from WWII.

    Very nicely done Frank!! Old Blighty is ready to fend off the Fritz!!

    Presumably the reason that the figures are all Sargeants is that they came from the Sgt's Mess????

    Very nice craftsmanship. However, if a ninja pops out of the bushes, will they react or just keep marching?

    Lookin' good Lurker, I'm sure they'll bring the ruckus to the Germans. Ironically, I'm watching a hitler documentary right now

    I am really glad that I didn't end up missing this project of yours(Operation Sea Lion) and I can't wait to see how it pans out. The figures look great and I am sure that you have the tactics down as to how you want to handle the individual engagements.

    Those do indeed look great, but for proper Sealion games you seriously need to get your hands on FAA's "England Stands Alone" range.

    IIRC Raventhorpe also does a Dad's Army character set.
