Not all the civvies get to wear macks. Here are the other IRA (or other mid-century militia) from Footsore Miniatures.
Five riflemen. The chap on the left gets a red scarf to tie him to the Italian partisans I painted previously. I had fun with the centre fellow, trying to make his vest look like a homemade knitted thingy.
Three specialists.
The uniformed man on the left is trying to look like he has his homemade Irish Volunteers uniform, like the figure on the right (photo from Irish Republican History Museum in Belfast). Irish Volunteers made their own uniforms, and they were not always to the same standard, so (for example) in my mind the shade of green would vary from one member to another.
And of course rear view. It would have been quite unlikely for rebels to get their hands on a Lewis gun, but they are far too much fun not to hand them out whenever I can!
