Hi guys ,
Following on from the V bench here
http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/heroes-all-a-ww2-tribute-trio-of-busts.77534/
This was a project between myself and the biscuit eating monster aka Jimbo , in which we wanted to pay tribute to the often unsung heroes on the home front.
Air Raid Wardens
The Civil Defence ladies
The Fire service
As a ex fireman of 30 years service that subject was very close to Jim's thoughts , knowing what he went through and saw I can only imagine what it was like in WW2.
The Lady ...well they provided many services , vital to the home front ranging from serving in mobile canteens to driving fire vehicles and much more
The Warden was my tribute to my grandfather who served both in Home Guard and as a warden , I also wanted to have some ribbons on him so he has his WW1 ones
The groundwork and bust conversion was done with flair by Jimbo , I painted the busts and the little doll in amongst the rubble......reminding us that children also suffered so much.
We also added a newspaper which shows the bombings in London and 13 other places as its headline
Thanks for following on V Bench and for looking in
Will there be more ...most certainly YES ( that sobbing sound is Jimbo!!!....lol)
A very big personal thanks to Jimbo for his input
If anyone is going to the IPMS Salisbury Show on the 4th June it will be there ..hopefully with Jimbo as well.
Thanks for looking in
