I had a trio of AB Figures British Army officers all based and primed and ready to hit the painting area. Finally while soaking up the excitement of Ashes cricket they were finished! Colonel Bairstow on the left, Captain Stokes in the middle and a casual General Crawley on the right. As always love painting AB figures, the detail is so good they make it easy. The poses are relaxed and natural, I especially like the folded newspaper or betting guide in the Colonel’s pocket. I used custom decals from Company B for their shoulder insignia as that is getting too small for my painting skills and eyes. My eyes are old and grey…… Usual British colours with three shades. Nice gold buttons too on the Colonel’s jacket. Behind is a Dodge weapons carrier from Italeri, a kit that is quite rare these days. Shame they don’t re-release it as I would buy a couple more.





Lovely work mate. Excuse my ignorance but what are AB figures?

Very nice, Will! 🙂 They’ve got quite a bit of character! I’ve got a couple of those Dodge trucks that I built in the early ’80s (I think mine were when they were ESCI releases) and used for my Russian army.
