VBCW Regulars

A Very British Civil War is set in the late 1930's where the country is split due to the king not abdicating when he married Mrs Simpson and Mosley is made prime minister...

I've left these figures glossy to try and add to the feel of the 30's. To me they look like a good cross between modern figure painting and the old 1930's lead soldiers style of painting.
