VBCW 1938

Hi
Just finished my first units for the VBCW.
These are the Duke of Devonshire's estate workers, essentially armed to protect the Dukes lands in the Derbyshire Dales and High Peak.
The Duke as yet, has not officially declared his support for any particular faction, however he has agreed with the King and Moseley to allow free unhindered passage through his land for BUF and loyal army units, providing they pass straight through.
By giving them passage it is securing his west and northern bounderies by ensuring the socialists of Manchester and Yorkshire are kept busy, so all the Duke has to worry about is the Miners from East Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire trying to link up with Manchester and the towns of Buxton and Matlock who have both declared for Prince Albert 
His boundary to the south is at the moment secure as Derby has declared for Moseley





Hope you like, all comments welcome

Ottoman Artillery

Hi Guys
Not managed to do much painting, too many other things to do in the nice weather, couldn't base anything either, my base supplier got orders mixed up, then couldn't locate my camera lead, anyway enough of my problems/stupidity, on with the show.
These figures are from the Vienna range by Legio Heroica, if any of you don't buy things from abroad due to delivery worries, I can highly recommend this company and Giuseppe is very easy to deal with.

Hope you enjoy the pics, sorry about my dodgy camera skills :-(
If anyone is in the High Peak area please get in touch my email is on my profile

Some French Dragoons and Something a Little Different

Hi
 Latest figures finished, some French dragoons, the Royal Regt, these are all 15mm Dixons and the first of the Ottomans, these are from the Wargames By fire and Sword range, a little larger than the Dixons mainly due to the size of the horses, nice figures to paint, and a good range, having looked at the foot figures which look a little spindly to me I've gone for Legio Heroica foot figures, these will make an appearance on here in the future, hope you enjoy the pictures, as always comments both good and bad welcome
