Scout Troop

Delighted to report that I have been so busy playing and painting lately that I haven't had time to blog  :-)
Details to follow but here is a little of bit of fun I had along the way: Boy Scouts!
These lads are visiting Bexhill-on-Sea to work on their Batter pudding hurling badges (confused? You poor soul - see here) when the dreaded Hun dropped in.  Apart from the fun of painting them up, they are to be used as a recon team in OP SEALION
Lovely figures by 1st Corps with heaps of character, including all the meet badges etc.  They come with a range of hand/equipment options, but I liked the idea of the two boys also doing their archery and mechanic badges. I've done them up as my Dad's old Leicester scout group, including the scarf colours.

    1. Thanks buddy. I quite like seeing models develop on the paint and chat too - makes the final product much more 'real'
      At least the dog didn't steal these ones off the painting table :-)

    1. I am still waiting for "Scout and Girl Giode groups of the Midlands 1933-45" to be released.
      Curiously it not has not proved as popular as the Hitlerjugend volume, the author of which might in fact be known to you...
