    Hi Guys ,

    Here a joint entry done by Jimbo and myself paying tribute to the often forgotten heroes on the British home front, depicting a City of London Policeman , Land Girl ( on left ) and a WVS (women's volunteer service) .

    All converted by Jimbo from busts I had for ages ! painted using Acrylics together with Water Soluable Oils with the base being finished by posters and ration books and coupons to hopefully tie the three together .
