Bad Squiddo Women of WW2 - Lumber Jills

Here are five more figures for my Women on the Home Front project, using minis from the Bad Squiddo Women of WW2 range. They are all Lumber Jills, members of the Women's Timber Corps.

First, two Lumber Jills with a big saw, cutting up a log;

I like this little vignette, so here it is from two other viewpoints;

I used a few pieces of pea gravel as a prop for the log to make sawing through it easier.

Now, here are the other three Lumber Jills. First a frontal shot and then one from behind. I have tried to get across the idea that they are a bit grubby from the hard work involved in tree-felling, hence a few dirty patches and streaks on their skin.

These are all lovely figures with the same high standards of sculpting and casting which we have all come to expect from Bad Squiddo.

The Women's Timber Corps (WTC) was a British civilian organisation formed in 1940 by the Forestry Commission to provide forestry and sawmill workers, replacing men who had left to join the armed forces. Women who joined the WTC were commonly known as Lumber Jills. In 1942, the administration of the WTC was transferred to the Women's Land Army, with the Lumber Jills adopting the same uniform as the Land Girls.

The WTC was disbanded in 1946.

I am hoping that I can use these terrific minis in some Home Front-themed games of Chain of Command.
