The wonderful Scibor Miniatures sculpt of the Polish Boy Scout, WW2 Warsaw Uprising 1944, IMO, bears a striking resemblance to Edward VIII and makes me think of using it as an offspring of his – a new Prince of Wales – and leader of the last ditch defence of Madresfield Court, a stately home near Worcester where the King held court.
link King Edward is claimed to have fathered an illegitimate son – his godson, David Anthony "Tony" Chisolm (1921-1987). Chisholm bore a striking resemblance to the king (who was known to family and friends as David) and various other members of the royal family. (See below for photos of both of them.)
link I like the idea of a Prince of Wales Lifeguard fighting it out and using the last Nazi stick grenade in the process. But the sculpt is 1/35 scale and won't work with 28mm. Ho hum! Excellent sculpt though. |

Great story, thanks for sharing this. Note that Siberian miniatures make a range of Polish Boy Scouts from the Russo Polish war. You might find a suitable replacement, if not a whole squad of youth for your prince of Wales and his lifeguard. I have bought figures from this company and they are very nice. I plan to get the Boy Scouts pretty soon for my VBCW army. link |
