They don't like it up 'em!

Encouraged by Stuart's recent enthusiastic recollection of the Dad's Army game I put on in November 2014, I finally finished painting my new figures.  Last time we played with my Foundry models which were bought around 15 years ago.  I sold them on eBay and got a set of the Bolt Action figures instead.

Importantly, this set includes Private Walker (criminally omitted from the Foundry set) and the extra bonus is that as well as all the characters in their Home Guard uniforms:


...they also come in their civilian dress:


The set also includes Reverend Timothy Farthing, Verger Maurice Yeatman and of course ARP Warden William Hodges:


So in rank order, we have Captain George Mainwaring:


Sergeant Arthur Wilson:


Lance-Corporal Jack Jones:


Private Charles Godfrey:


Private James Frazer:


Private Joe Walker:


and of course Private Frank Pike:


Even Hodges is available in his greengrocer's coat:


I'm painting a few more accessories and then I shall put on another Dad's Army game.
