Some splendid formal portraits of a few of the principal characters in the Very British Civil War, ideal (with a little Photoshoppery) for mounting on 28mm gable walls or preserving in a suitable desk bound frame:
Sir Oswald Mosley, Leader of the BUF. Appointed PM by King Edward VIII. Known as "The Man of Blood" portrait (for obvious reasons). |
Sir Oswald with a less controversial background. Some useful uniform references can be found HERE |
Neil Francis Hawkins, Director General of the BUF, with a larger, signed copy of the "Man of Blood" portrait. Note also the smaller portrait of some foreign dictator. (Getty Images) |
Joseph Stalin, "The Man of Steel" |
Harry Pollitt, Leader of the Communist Party of Great Britain, with his favourite Stalin portrait (and he had lots of them). |
Winston Churchill, Leader of the "Churchill Assault Column" Recruited in London and Oxford, the "CAC" has long been rumoured to be on its way to Herefordshire. |
Reichsmarshall Hermann Goering. After his "unauthorised intervention" at the Battle of Mortimers Cross, Goering has since spent most of his time playing with a new trainset in the attic of the Castle House Hotel. Yet his remaining Fallschirmjagers represent a potent pro HMG force within the VBCW... |
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Cosmo Lang |
King Edward VIII (in civilian clothing). Useful uniform references can be found HERE |
And just for fun, if you don't mind a little more Photoshoppery and wish to use any of these portraits in a very different context, some blank (multi faction) "background" posters for you:
