*TWACK*
"Ahem, sir. A telegram has arrived."
The gentle voice right behind me, with its syruped tones, told me of the presence of Jeeves. While I returned my skeleton to its skin, I pondered quite how he could had covered 100 yards of open ground before appearing directly behind me while my back was against a tree, but his cat-like movements were beyond my imagination.
*TWACK*
"It is from Aunt Agatha sir."
"Be a good man and read it for me, I am trying to work out a tricky shot here." I intoned.

"I have already taken the liberty of doing so. She is insistent we depart for Steeple Bumpleigh, post haste."
We were not due to arrive in the draughty old mansion where the Ice Maiden turned even the most modern heating into a frost before the 27th, and I am sure Jeeves was well-aware of this. "Old chap, what could the old dragon want with us in such a hurry?"

"I am afraid she intonates that Roderick Spode is causing ructions in the area, and she would like your assistance to remove him and his support before they cause any more upset. She believes you have certain 'skills' and 'contacts' that will cause him to move on quickly."
I suspect that my man could see from the look on my face that this was going to be an upsetting encounter, 'the amateur dictator' and his dozen or so dim-witted Black Shorts were trying to bully their way to power and were going about it much like a Year 4 would attempt to win over the Upper Sixth common room.

*TWHACK*
"She does mention a possible increase in your allowance sir. Shall I inform Mr Shelby of your invitation too? He still has considerable sway in the area, and I believe we are in good stead after that incident in that club in Mayfair."
This was far more like it, I felt a sense of warm comfort, much like one of cook's puddings with extra custard, at the thought of extra spends and the presence of the Honourable Member for Small Heath being present. I looked up from my next shot to smile, "Better pack the car quickly then my good man."
"I have taken the liberty of doing so already sir," Quite how he knew to do this was one of his exceptional abilities, "I have also packed the Thompson, the Vickers and the Under-and-Over Beretta and our tin hats."
"The Beretta is a bit unsporting for out-of-town use, it is banned by the Geneva Convention after all."
"Indeed sir, I will leave it with Mr Fink-Nottle. Also, may I suggest, given the lie and the terrain, you switch from the five iron to either your putter or a sand wedge?" I took the proffered implement.
*CRACK*
"Indeed sir, as your assailant is no more, shall we depart?"

Fun write-up. Not sure Bertie and automatic weapons seems a good mix though 

[Ithoriel]

Nice figures, great paint job, fun story.

@ fred - Do you think Jeeves would give Bertie ammo?

I like your thinking - probably some blanks, so he gets to make some noise!

Nice one Will.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

NEEEEEE-OOOOW!
"Not quite the air support we wanted!"


Messenger boy or passer-by?


Salute 2021 figure

[sunjester]

Nice one Will. Just in time for the new series!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Put this figure down to photograph it, 'PING' his whip hand with coiled whip sprang off and bounced twice, and half-an-hour later I still could not find it, but the floor was a hell of a lot cleaner. So I scratch built him a new whip (10' to scale) and converted a hand.

"Jeeves, who is the chap in the fedora?" I enquired as my man passed me a pick me up.
"The gentleman standing in the children's sand-pit is renowned archaeologist Doctor Idaho Smith, Sir," he intoned, as he returned to field stripping the Lewis gun.


"Isn't the whip a bit much? Wouldn't catch Sir Mortimore Wheeler with one of those."
"Indeed sir, Doctor SMith is rather well known for his 'unorthodox' methods of research; but he has rather helped out cause with his discovery of many rare artifacts and stopping the Black Shorts from selling them to buy munitions." The parts were cleaned with rather more pace than I usually saw with the silverware.


I grinned inwardly, at the thought of Spode losing out. "American?"
"Unfortunately, sir." His hands a veritable blur as the gun was reassembled.
"Useful in a fight?"
"From what I hear sir." The empty gun clicked as Jeeves tested the firing mechanism.


"Decent set of morals too. Ideal for our cause."
"Very perceptive sir." Jeeve clicked the magazine back into place and hefted the gun over his shoulder before departing to the house.

A dear friend gifted me this 3-d figure, I just knew he had to be painted and added to my 'Toffs' unit.

"Jeeves, the chap in the cavalry attire?"
"Lord Flashman, son of the infamous."


"Does he carry on his father's repuation?"
"Thankfully, no. Happily married carer officer with a startling degree of bravery."


"Jolly good show, Jeeves."
