Last year l bought quite a lot of Willie Figures on EBay. I wondered what to do with them and mused about painting them in the uniforms of the Sealed Knot , circa 1979.
Uniform information from the current Sealed Knot website. Note Manus O’Cahan’s in the first picture.
Brigadier Peter Young’s ECW organisation, the one being used in this project.
