KenR - 28mm 7tv British Police


A bit of a change of tack for me today, historical military figures are the norm but today's fare is for my 7tv game and the start of of British Police cast from the 1970s.


The 4 figs are 28mm and from a Company called Crooked Dice who make the 7tv game, the car is seen as bought, a company called Vanguards do a number of Police Cars of the period and it looks the bizz.


The four figures net me 20 points upping the Quarantine Total to 704, I have another batch of 8 uniformed officers to finish, before starting work on some Life on Mars CID types.  Above is a rather burly Sgt, if he told me to go home I would.


These 70s cops are armed with a wooden trunchen and razor sharp sarcasm, the white caps are representative of Traffic Police (who wouldn't be seen dead near the Austin Allegro must get them a proper flash motor), the blue shirts where common in at the time before the switched to white in the 80s.


The final officer doesn't even have a trunchen, he just has a torch, he is actually a dog handler but I forgot to paint the dog 😂

Up next more cops.

AdamC: Black Seas Gun Boats and work in progress

I recently got the US Navy fleet box, and these are the first fruits of that purchase.
Like everything form the Black Seas line they are lovely little models. I especially liked the sculpted sails.  I did the guns to look like they are brass cannon as these are lighter and this makes a lot of sense for small boats.  
The sculped base is a nice touch thought I would have liked the option to use them individually. 
I thought I would share some of my work in progress three Xebecs and 4 of the "original" 6 US frigates.
