Title: 20mm Armed Women
Post by: Orcs on 20 December 2020, 12:38:40 PM
Hi All

Does the hive mind know of anyone producing 20mm  armed Land Army, or Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) girls?

Bad Squiddo do some nice ones, but they are in 28mm.

I am not looking for "Resistance types"

Cheers

Orcs

My first thought would be Early War or Grubby Tanks/Britannia but I can't seem to find anything there.

Can't think of any I'm afraid. You could try Shapeways maybe, or look at earlier periods.

Yes I have. I can find all the usual Train Drivers, Passengers, Funural Cortege (Protestant and Catholic) Nudists and even two naked adults playing "hide the sausage" across and office desk.  But no Land army or Females in uniform with guns

HAve you checked minairons?


they do some female militia for the SCW. some poses will not be usefull because the weapons are wrong, and some might need their headgear reworked a bit, but if nothing else is at hand...

I have seen them, but they are not what I need/want.  Looking for something more like this but in 20mm.

Having skimmed this whilst "working" I read that you found Protestant AND Catholic nudists, which seemed... an odd distinction :D

Yes you could understand Jewish and gentile nudists, although you would have to look very closely    ;D

Post by: Techno II on 23 December 2020, 03:40:32 PM
Me....Grumpy. ?

You wouldn't believe it.  :-*

Have you done your (blanking) chickens' biosecurity yet,  Nathan ?
(We seem to have done it, over here.....Personally, I'd like to shoot the whole bloody lot...and not have to worry about it anymore.)

The VERY grumpy git.

They're covered, they don't get to free range, the feeders and water are all enclosed, no one's going into the run.

Barring hosing the garden, them and me down with biocide all day there's not a lot more we can do.

I did read on some chicken forums about people bringing their birds *inside their houses* and then moaning that they've got a house full of stinky chickens squawking and fighting.

Slight misunderstanding of the rules there...

Good for you, Nathan.🙂👍 ;)

Our 'girl's' are very lucky as they have a very big barn to wander around in....Now that we've stopped them getting out of the 'side door'.....
It's a bit 'Heath Robison'.....but they ARE confined to quarters.

Again....I wish some of you lot lived closer. They produce more eggs than Von & I could deal with atm.....and it seems so bloody awful to throw the excess away......once they've 'gone off'.

Cheers - Phil

Can't you feed them to the Dogs?
Get the local shop to sell them for you?
Donate them to a local food bank?

All ours are bromating atm so no eggs!

Have to *buy* eggs, ludicrous.

Either that some of the little sods are egg eating.

I can usually turn our excess into a beer at the club of a Wednesday evening ;)

Orcs - I suspect given the area theres probably a lot of spare egg capacity, and that charities likely want a loaf of verification & Lion marking etc before accepting them. I can imagine the paperwork if someone dropped dead eating a donated unmarked egg...
