I used the wrong wash on Frank's shirt, so I'll probably have to paint it again!
The foibles, pettifogging, quirks, idiosyncranicities, waffling and hyperbole of a charming, sophisticated and erudite gentleman of distinction, who rises above the hoi-polloi and riff-raff to bring a touch of style and class to wargaming.

The Thin Blue Line
Yet another new project! A 'cops and robbers' game set in the fictional town of Gasforth. I want the game to be somewhat earlier than the TV series. More like late 60's, early 70's. So Inspector Grim will still have hair and will not yet have reached the dizzy heights of head of CID at the Gasforth 'nick'. Working on the 'uniforms' now, including Sergeant Fowler (later to be Inspector) and Constable (later to be Sergeant) Dawkins.

"You seem to forget, Boyle, it's my arse on the line — so you'd better pull your finger out!"

Listen Carefully ('Allo 'Allo for Michael)
My old thread on the LAF from 2015 has lost it's photos due to the Photobucket debacle. Michael has asked to see the photos as he is working on the same project. So here they are, I hope this helps a bit.
Officer Crabtree: "I was pissing by the door, when I
heard two shats. You are holding in your hand a smoking goon; you are clearly
the guilty potty."

New toys!
I bought these already painted from another war-gamer. The Flashmans (Flashmen?) are particularly lovely.
