Now I bet thats a title you dont see very often in connection to wargaming. Well I have finished off the Women's Institute section of my Duke of Rutland's forces and I am rather pleased with them. The figures of mostly from Mason's Blind Beggar Miniatures, the Armed Housewives set and the Lady Baxterville and her 'Family' set, plus a couple of addition figures. Firstly I would like to publicly thank Mason for producing these figures as one, no-one does women is civilian clothing and two they are damn nice sculpts and paint up a dream.
Now back to the WI section. With have a full section of ten ladies with LMG support and I have painted them out to have a fair representation of ladies from all walks of life and classes. Added to the section is a Jam Jar Thrower Mk1 (WI model) as support, God knows what the rules are going to be, but I thought is would be a suitable support team for the ladies.
The sharp eyed amongst you might notice a iron lady with a handbag, she is from Reiver Castings and she is the commander of the Jam Jar Thrower and also That Women who is Duke of Rutland's wife, Lady Tredgast Strapleton-Mallet, doing her bit for the King's cause.
Have a nice day PK |

Brilliant work, PK – congratulations. The Ewyas Harold/Pontrilas WI rejoices in having more of their sisters join the fray, albeit for the wrong side  . I see that elastic-powered ordnance discharger technology has also spread eastwards. Doug |

I take it "Jerusalem" is the regimental slow march? |

The wrong side, how could I be any other side with the Iron Lady in their ranks? The elastic nicker power is as you know Doug the best elastic ever, especially when it is from M&S, lol. Supercillius how did you know? |

Nice work, it's what this war needs is more ladies to sort the mess the Men have made. See you Sunday 😃 |

Pete, Great job. I hope mine turn out as good once I get around to them. Jim |

Thanks there Tym and the Colonel. Yes see you on Sunday and the ladies will be there. Jim I am sure that they will |

That's Double-plus good BRILLIANT, as we say on the Red Side. I see I'm not the only one to know the correct pronunciation of "Belvoir". :-) |

Ha, ha. +1 Legbiter +1 Panzerkaput. Very droll. Excellent idea, fabulous miniatures. Where can I obtain a Queen Wally and Big Ed, pray tell? |
| Panzerkaput | 29 May 2015 11:26 a.m. PST |
Indeed Legbiter and a few might not get the joke, its the Belvoir Patrol. Captain they were give aways for Partizan a couple of years back but I will ask Tricks on Sunday if there are any left, but I doubt it. It might have to be evil bay or some such or shout out on VBCF |

I take it "Jerusalem" is the regimental slow march? Hopefully, the John McCoy (ex-Gillan) version! |

I take it "Jerusalem" is the regimental slow march? Hopefully, the John McCoy (ex-Gillan) version! BTW…not sure if it was quitting time at the Factory for these ladies or they were all 1st Place Runner's Up in the Miss Beautiful England contest! *Huh?* |

Good luck with your Redoubtable Jam-making Ladies, dear Panzerkaput. If things get a little Hairy, and you know of a better Hole, I hope you make it! |

The Duke of Rutland's wife would be called Manners. |
| Panzerkaput | 30 May 2015 4:10 a.m. PST |
Yes in reality her name and his would be Manners but frankly I dont want to get my arse sued |
