BUF (part 8)

The same figures as last time. By that I mean 28mm Footsore British union of Fascists. Just the latest batch finished.

You guessed it for matt again and I will do a group shot early next week. I say next week as while they will be finished for the club on Sunday I thought I would break the series of posts with something else I am painting.

That's it for today. More again soon (planning for Saturday). Until then take care and have fun.

All the best from a rainy Kent.

  1. I thought I was doing well getting ten 10mm figures painted up, and then I spot that you've painted a platoon of 28s in the same time period.
    I'm not envious, honest :)

    1. Thanks Roy. I suspect I have been painting figures longer then you. As a consequence I have learnt enough to paint faster. Not better, just faster!

    2. I've been painting regularly for a little over a year now, so you could be right. Previous to that, I used to play with unpainted lead :(

    3. I on the other hand have been painting for about 35 years.... I might start getting it right soon!

  2. More sterling work Clint! That is quite the force you've painted now. I love the colour scheme and basing.

  3. Matt's getting a nice sized force of these guys from you. They may have a simple paint scheme but they do look nice.

    If I can find the time to get away from house/yard work, I'll pop in over the weekend.

  6. The BUF are building up forces at quite a pace and I envisage Matt having some diabolical plan for them, no doubt including your doom alomg the way too!
    Great figures and brushwork again on these chaps, but what weaponis the third guy from left iin the front row holding ?

    1. Thanks Joe. Yes I fear my final doom is planned by Matt.
      The gun is a British "Lanchester" smg I think. But could be German MP28/II they look very similar infact the British copied the german version.

      The British version was mainly used by the Royal Navy until 1945 when it was phased out.

      I hope that answers your question.

  7. More fine additions. It is turning out to be a good size force.
