I bought these fellow (Kennington miniatures) from SHQ a couple of Salutes ago. I dug them up the other week during a sort out. I really like them, they are fantastic castings. I intend to get a few more and add to them with some of the offerings from Stonewall. As is normally the case, figures seen need basing.

Back of Beyond

Image
I was inspired by moif's blog , to get some Back of Beyond figures (British, Chinese, Russians or Turks). I bought some British and some Turks from Tumbling Dice at Colours 2011. The Turks are nearly all done, the British I have only just started.  Tumbling Dice British Infantry discussing directions with a Frontline Rolls Royce armoured car. The Rolls Royce I couldn't resist. It's probably a little late for the years Im going to be gaming, but it really captures the 'look' of the era. Tumbling Dice Turks guarding an Irregular miniatures Krupp Gun. The Krupp gun is from Irregular miniatures 'really useful guns' range, Gun Type Six D (£1.50) and is  available here.

Between the Wars

It's been a while but here's some of the figures I've worked on 'recently'. First up some Guardia Assaltos for SCW. These guys are being lead by a commissar. All from Irregular miniatures. A Vickers Mk2 Medium tank from Frontline. Good for patrolling the Empire.  Some Indian infantry, these will be used from the 20's to the end of the war, with the help of a little imagination. From the Britannia WW2 line. The thin red line. These chaps will be patrolling the Yangtze, fighting up the Khyber, policing the Pacific and standing on the sidelines in Europe. Figures from Tumbling Dice.
