Old Guard (VBCW)

As I keep struggling with my wargames doldrums I have managed to motivate the paint monkey into finishing some more "Dad's Army" type figures for Matt.

The Flag is for A Very British Civil War Anglican force. Not sure where Matt got these figures but I suspect that they are from Colonel Bill (AKA Stu) and I also suspect that they are foundry figures but I am not sure on this.




 It is the normal motley crew including figures smoking as well as wearing scarves. They also carry a variety of weapons mostly Rifles and a couple of tommy guns,a Molotov Cocktail,  but also a couple of pistols and a BAR. The guy with the flag also has a walking stick, personally the flag would be enough for me. I might be encumbered with a stick and a flag as well as a pistol.


That's it for today, thanks for looking. And I shall update the PBB tomorrow. So if you are reading this and have yet to send in your turn kindly do so!

I am Not so sure what I shall start next as the afore mentioned doldrums have sapped my enthusiasm so that will be interesting for the both of  us.

OK I am now back to the DIY for today.

All the best folks see you soon,
Cheers Clint

  1. Nice work, as usual, Clint. I recognise a lot of those figures as coming from Foundry.

    It is a shame that enthusiasm can't be bottled as I currently have an over-abundance of enthusiasm. Life just couldn't be better.

    1. Thanks mate. Yeah if we could bottle things like that it sure would be great. My enthusiasm will come back, probly by this time next week if not sooner.

  2. Wherever they came from, those are some perfectly serviceable figures. I like the bases as well.

    1. Thanks Pat and welcome. I have had confirmation from Matt that they are all foundry and a couple have been converted.

  5. They look great Clint! Well done.

    As for the enthusiasm, tell me about it. I have a head full of ideas that I'd really like to work on and on the other hand, I can't even get me going with my projects as they are too daunting to start :(

    1. Thank you Mathyoo. I normally have a head full of ideas but this week nothing! Still I have the last wargames show of the year (for me) in 2 weeks so something should inspire me.

  6. Paint Monkey is sure putting me to shame with his speed! I love the guy with the scarf but all are very well done!

    1. Thank you Robert. The monkey thinks it could paint 8-10 28mm figures in a day but I am not so sure about that.

  7. I think we've all been through the usual states of lethargy and lack of enthusiasm, me as as much as most (if not more).
    It doesn't help when you see Paint-monkeys great figures either, being more productive than when I'm enthusiastic !
    The basing is particularly good especially those flowers (- bought ?)

    1. Thanks Joe. Yes the flowers are commercially bought tufts. I do at least have an idea for what to start next. But it all depends on enthusiasm.

  8. Very neat figures, they'll look good in any VCBW battle. Well done. I empathize with your 'doldrums' it sometimes can be hard to break free. Onwards and upwards.
