20mm WW2 Painted Early War British Infantry/Home Guard 1:72 scale.
Forgot to bring the camera home yesterday so a bit of a delay on samurai game pictures but until then some 20mm WW2 British infantry/home guard from SGTS' Mess, they come in a pack of ten, not the greatest of sculpts (needed a lot of cleaning, an awful lot), didn't come with an integral base which I don't like but some companies are doing this now? They didn't turn out too badly and will help to stem the tide of the German invasion.

20mm WW2 Painted British Home Guard 1/72.
The Home Guard (initially "Local Defence Volunteers" or LDV, or in slang, Look-Duck-Vanish, hence the name change) was a defence organisation of the British Army during the Second World War. Operational from 1940 until 1944, the Home Guard—comprising 1.5 million local volunteers otherwise ineligible for military service, usually owing to age, hence the nickname 'Dad's Army' — acted as a secondary defence force, in case of invasion by the forces of Nazi Germany and their allies.[1][2] The Home Guard guarded the coastal areas of Britain and other important places such as airfields, factories and explosives stores.

These are some of my Home Guard forces defending a bridge from Sgts Mess http://www.sgts-mess.com/ for my What If? Operation Sealion WW2 Game, a mixed bag quality wise but not too bad seeing as I need them.
The bottom 3 pictures before the award pictures are for a fellow blogger Dr. Willett's Workshop http://drwillettsworkshop.blogspot.com/ (good blog, go visit) who asked for some comparison shots on a samurai building picture I posted last week.

Got this award from the zombie overlord over at http://zombehseverywhereman.blogspot.com/ , go visit the zombie madness and thank you to zombie prince.
If you knew me persoally you'd know that very few people would associate me with sushine as I am considered more with black clouds, thunder and depessions but Kicking Rocks http://ggc151.blogspot.com/ (go visit, good blog) nominated me and I thank him for it
.
Now a lot of people have been debating these awards as everything from a good thing to a fecking bad thing, me I have no problem with them and I find them good for promoting around the blog community, so if you read this blog today and you want an award to promote your blog please take one or both and link me if you feel like it to say where you got it or the people who originally gave it to me, I don't mind. Some of the blogs I sent awards to recently took it less than positively but that's the beauty of the blogosphere.
