Who do you think you are kidding Mr Mosley…

Very short post this week just to catalogue some VBCW painting progress. Needless to say there’s still tons more to do.

Given the poor weather and the absence of both gardening or visitors I finished off the last few figures for the Brompton TA section, produced a WW1 era lorry, 5 members of the Brompton Carpet Factory Defence Force and a couple of bits of scatter terrain. Here in no particular order are the results.

First of the carpet factory lads. This is Bill *Butcher* Haskins with a lethal looking hedging implement. Comes in handy for all your fascist pruning needs. 

Michael *Pedro* O’Rorke. Anarchist volunteer recently returned from Spain. (Hat tip to Chris for the inspiration). Along with the pistol he’s carrying either a sticky bomb or an over large marital aid. Either way…if he uses it on you you’re buggered. lol. 

Charlie Booth, local Green grocer and former TA chap. Might put a scope on that bondook and make him a sniper.

Another TA bod. Len Tyler. Demon bowler for the Brompton 1st Eleven.

Alfred Bingham, last of the TA chaps - chief clerk at Lloyd’s Bank on the Brompton High Road. 

Frank Upton. Works at the carpet factory - but used to be a pilot in the last lot…so he says.  

Norman *Trotsky* Tomkinson - factory shop steward and inventor of the one shot Tomkinator - hand pumped flamethrower. 

Essential scatter terrain or vital comms equipment depending on your viewpoint.

Most of the initial VBCW stuff will be set in and around an industrial area, and, as anyone who plays skirmish games will tell you - you can never have too much scatter terrain.

The jury’s out on this one. A Sarissa Precision WW1 Lorry which I’m reliably informed would still just about be in use by the mid 1930´s. A bit crude? WS Atkins is my brother in laws garage in Coventry by the way. Thought I’d sneak in a bit of cheeky advertising on his behalf. lol. 

None of this lot are of Aly Morrison standard, but they’ve been really fun to paint and there’s a few more characters yet to come (along with a bunch of buildings).

Toodleooh for now mateys.
