An Official Visit

As a person of such eminence as Prince Phillip of Greece and Denmark is visiting Much-Piddling, it is only natural that the local MP should be there to greet him. As a consequence, Sir Douglas D'Emfore, MP for Mid-Devon has taken time out from the House and returned to his constituency to greet the esteemed royal visitor. As an MP in wartime, Sir Douglas is escorted by his Personal Protection Officer, Sergeant-Major Victor Albert G'Bond, late of the Sherwood Foresters and trained by none other than Eric Sykes himself.

Sergeant-Major G'Bond has booked a car out of the car pool for the visit and was rather amused to discover an Austin 7 which could have been his own personalised number plate!

Martin - cracking little car (love the rifles strapped to the back). What's the model and did it come with the weaponry?

Yes, it's sculpted by Tin Shed Gamer from the LAF and sold by 1st Corps under C20th Follies. The rifles are a part of the bodywork. Apparently, there will be two more variants, one with a closed top and one without weapons.

You are really going to town on this. Took me a minute or two to recognise Mr Bond, it was the ref to the car that did it.
Bloody well done.

The car is fantastic, very nice paint jobby. 😉
