Some 'uniforms'

PC Frank Gladstone and PC Fred Thursday on the beat in Gasforth. trying to detect where their next cuppa is coming from.


I used the wrong wash on Frank's shirt, so I'll probably have to paint it again!

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.



DC Gary Boyle and DS Derek Grim

"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."

Crabtree: "She has been pissing fudged bank notes in the hot shop."
Edith: "What does Crabtree say Yvette?"
Yvette: "I think he said 'she has been passing forged bank notes in the hat shop'."
Crabtree: "Presoasly!"

New toys!

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