Movember is an annual, month long campaign occurring in November, with a focus on men's health. It originated in Australia, with a group of young men who decided it would be fun to grow a moustache (or 'mo') for the month of November, renamed Movember. As the idea took hold, it was decided to tie the campaign to fundraising and awareness raising for men's health. Movember is now an international phenomenon that supports important causes like mental health and prostate cancer research.
Bob Murch of Pulp Figures has supported Movember for many years, particularly through sculpting an annual Movember figure. These figures can only be obtained by contributing to Movember. This year, the figure is Col 'Muzzy' Blunderboch. Muzzy closely resembles the famous British cartoon figure, Col. Blimp. I chose to trim his moustache a bit. He may become a part of my next project, an infantry platoon for early WWII, usable for the 1940 Battle of France, or the fictitious Very British Civil War or a hypothetical Operation Sealion, which was Hitler's never-executed plan to invade Britain in the aftermath of his victory in France.
I also found some time to finish up Special Agent Rasputin, who had been neglected for far too long in my unpainted miniatures pile. Agent R is one of Stoessi's Heroes.
