    Thanks for looking.
    Another British home front civilian, this time the iconic dig for victory campaign.
    A D-day Miniatures Home Guard with a Hornet middle aged head and Revel arms.
    The box of veg is from Verlinden.

    I like that he is wearing a tie and waistcoat as he hold his spade. My late father-in-law always wore a jacket and tie as well!

    I love this; I have had the idea of doing a 1940s era farmer/ agricultural worker for a while now.

    Thanks for the overly kind words and encouragement guys.

    He'll be bare headed, to show off that lovely bald pate.

    I was never happy with the painting and other aspects of this guy, so he’s had a dunk in the stripper and I’ve made some change’s.
    Sorry for the terrible photo
