Off the painting table - the boys from the fort

 Managed a little diverting painting-

28mm figures from Empress Miniatures, great fun to paint.
“ Someone get a message through to Captain SnortThat they'd better start assembling the boys from the fortAnd keep Mrs Honeyman right out of sight'Cause there's gonna be a riot down in Trumpton tonight”
From “Trumpton Riots” by Half Man Half Biscuit

  1. They're very nice figures indeed Alan
    Half Man Half Biscuit were (and I think still are) a fine band

  4. They have a really nice 'toy soldier' look to them. Not a range I've ever noticed, must have a look.

  6. Hi Alan,

    Cracking job on these! They have a brilliant, nostalgic feel to them. It looks like they were an absolute joy to paint.

    All the best, Andy
