From GeoffreyT: Adventurous Royals (Sarah's Star Yacht)(30 points)

Today we leave Noel's Comet and head off on Sarah's Star Yacht.  I acquired these miniatures as a part of a paint two keep one deal with a friend.  I believe they are from Bad Squiddo Games in 28mm and represent Princess Elizabeth changing a truck tyre whilst being admired by her mother (tyre not included).

Nice miniatures, and an interesting historical record.  However, they are not the most useful figs in wargaming, I think they are really designed for making a vignette.  Nevertheless, I will try and see what different genre's I can fit them into.

Perhaps the Royal ladies are taking a more front line role...

"Cop that Gerry"

Maybe they found a Police Box that was actually a Tardis.  Here is Liz and mum hiding from Daleks.

"Watch out mummy, the egg-beater gun is even more dangerous than the sink-plunger arm"

Or simply, Liz could just be in combat training.  Here she is leaning the art of fighting with empty hands.

"Ki-Hap"

Perhaps she is not combative at all, and they are just having a fun time at a picnic in the park

"Wheeeee"

Perhaps they are at home, dungeoneering in the basement of Windsor Castle

Look out, it's behind you!!!

But what I really think, is that they are trekking across the deserts of their mighty empire.  Here Lizzy is filling the water canteens at a desert oasis.

"Mummy, why are our Camels unpainted?" "One must go to Arrakis to paint desert creatures my dear" "Then we must alight to Arrakis at once, as it would be ghastly to trek unpainted".

And so, Princess Elizabeth and her mother boarded Sarah's Star Yacht and travelled off to Arrakis.

Princess Elizabeth and Mother in 28mm = 10 points

+20 points for Sarah's Star yacht

In the alphabet soup challenge, the letter E for Elizabeth

Cheers.

Geoff.

I clearly have no imagination- I would have put HRH in a vignette changing a tyre and that would have been that. I'm a fan of your bright and clean style.
