Just a quickie today - aptly enough, just after Remembrance Sunday - I've made a chaplain to look after the spiritual needs of 4KSLI.
Having read surprisingly often about the astonishing everyday bravery of the chaplains who went into war, I was pretty keen one day to have a model in their honour, and since finding new rules for them earlier this year with the release of the 'Battle of the Bulge' campaign book, I knew I had to make one.

Rather obviously he's made from a plastic British Tommy with a twisted wrist, a paper dog-collar and a paper sacramental scarf-thing. I'm pleased with this one.
Essentially (rules-wise) he can remove a pin each turn from a nearby unit on a lucky roll...but I've given him a medical kit too, so if all else fails he can be a more characterful medic!
Stay safe; We Will Remember Them.

Lovely work! A very characterful conversion, beautifully executed!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I always hope for 'characterful'!
DeleteThat came out great! Very well done. He looks like a museum quality diorama piece as opposed to a playing piece, and I mean that as one heck of a compliment.
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you!
DeletePraise indeed: I'm honoured!
Very thoughtful and lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leif - cheers for swinging by!
DeleteA nice conversion, and very fitting as you say.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Scipio!
DeleteIt's no coincidence that our red-headed daughter whose birthday is at the start of November is called Poppy...
That's very very nice!
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you very, very much!
DeleteExcellent.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate.
DeleteHow did i miss this one?
ReplyDeleteFantastic mini in a very believable pose.
I plan to have one in my Canadians for my Dieppe Landing force.
Thanks, mate.
DeleteSomething tells me that the Dieppe setting would keep a man of God quite, er, busy...
