Mrs Miggins is going for a stroll and meets Captain Shandy and his batman Corporal Trim .
Captain Shandy is a keen student of the feminine form !.
On the French side of the lines she meets Voltaire and his manservant 'Wee Jockie' !.
Voltaire too admires the female form ! . How can this woman cross the lines at will ? , is she a spy and if so for who !?. Mrs Miggins (apart from being a character from 'Blackadder') is the first of the 40mm Sash & Sabre FIW civilians I've painted. (Thank the Lord for Google Translate ! - myself I can barely get by ordering chips and eggs and a beer !)
Could it just be that both sides enjoy the horses willies from her pie shop?
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming figure for your collection :)
Why ! I never thought of that !
ReplyDeletePies! Did someone say pies? Get Little Jack Horner on the security detail, he can thumb the pies for secret messages!!

Just reading the biography of Mother Ross at the moment, and she used to smuggle stuff under her skirts (usually bottles of Geneva), so best look there for any mischief.
ReplyDeleteWorking on a 'Mother Ross' type figure at present
DeleteThe S&S figs don't look out of place with the PA's; nicely painted charcater figure to add to you collection

Must admit I was not sure they would match in their unpainted state as the are very rotund - but painted they do not look to bad at all.
DeleteWhy, sir, would any self-respecting Englishman wish to be able to order chips,eggs and a beer in Frenchie? It would be an insult to those glorious lads who won the French and Indian Wars and thereby allowed us to be monolingual forever! Hooooray!!
ReplyDeleteWell said that man !
DeleteShe seems like a very... well-rounded... lady.
ReplyDeleteJunoesque I think is the word
DeleteNice work. I need to do one of those cartridge holder to plate bearer conversions for my army HQ. I wonder what it would take to get Prince August to do two or three molds of civilians in semiflat?
ReplyDeletePrince August seem a bit strange with the moulds they bring out - not that impressed with their recent batch .
