Many moons ago, I painted up the Eureka Miniatures 1920s Jazz Band and dancers for my late friend Adrian Shepherd. A few months ago, Shep's collection of early 20th century figures passed into the ownership of of another gaming chum and friend of Shep. I was lucky to come into the possession of many of his WW1 Tommies which now live in the cabinet along with my own figures. The Jazz band and dancers were originally painted for a demonstration game that was held at York over a decade ago. This game was the Wake Island 192? scenario that we revived for Partizan last weekend. The Jazz band was restored, paint chips restored the old basing removed and a new stage and dance floor was created upon which the Wakey-Wakey Jazz Band would perform and the happy well heeled tourists would dance in the latest style.
