Conversions at All Souls, Margaret Street

 The other day when rummaging in the shed I found some 1st Corps Boy Scouts . They are charming castings and I was delighted to come upon some unexpectedly. A further search found a figure for the Vicar ( Fr Lacey- Cotta) the Curate ( Fr Chantry-Prigg) and the Verger ( Mr Timmins) to be added to the Scouts as part of a Very British Civil War section from All Souls, Margaret Street.

Weapons were taken from the Wargames Atlantic WW1 British set.
I have cut off one of the Scout’s arms and replaced it with one carrying a Lewis gun from the same plastic source. I look forward to painting these up next week…

  2. Excellent conversions / choices for VBCW. Such a shame there aren't Sea Scouts as well, you could have the Verger Mr. Yeatman from Dad's Army in there and all.
    Scouts - due to bush craft and wide games, Very good at passing noiselessly through cover ...

    What excellent conversions! Ideal for sneaking around enemy positions and acting as couriers etc.

    All the best,
