Brigade Models Band Together The Great War Boy Scouts
April 20, 2018 by brennon
Brigade Models are following on from Salute with some neat new releases including their Great War Boy Scouts. Sometimes you need to get everyone involved to help out.
These particular models are based on the Belgian Scouts of the time but they could probably be used across the board with any number of different countries during World War I. They were sculpted by Martin Baker and show three different Scouts of varying ages.
One of them is ready to go on an adventure with a knapsack. The other is delivering messages on the front and the third is an older boy with a rifle at his side. It's somewhat sobering to think that he probably saw a lot more of life than he should have done at that age.
What do you think of the little trio?

Could probably work as WWII Boy Scouts too; team them up with some Dad’s Army minis and you could do an alternative history scenario defending the lanes and hedgerows of Blighty.
boy scouts v predator’s/terminators would be a interesting mashup?
Surely it’s scouts vs predators vs xenomorphs?
Well at least its not a gratuitous beaver shot
Totally unplanned I appear to be accumulating VBCW. These would do nicely.
Would work as a decent start to have a young Indy from Last Crusade
These will be very good for Very British Civil War
I´d use them for the Boer War, especially the siege of Mafeking, it would be appropriate to use them there. And the tall one would be Sir Baden-Powell of Gilwell. If I remember correctly, Baden-Powell founded the Boy Scouts back on 1898 or something, when the British were short of men and needed manpower or better boypower to replace former messagers and such like, who had to enter the regular forces.
