A couple of Crimean Turkish gun sets (you have to love that “well rounded” officer).
A Confederate cavalry unit from the ACW experiment. This will be a standard sized unit under the project concept.
Waiting to be based are a batch of ACW Union infantry. These will be mustered into regiments in due course, as other recruits arrive.
Nice work as usual Mark...I love the Turkish artillery, red fezzes are a great contrast with the blue uniforms.
ReplyDeleteYes they are wonderfully simple uniforms...just started the third of four battalions. But I am struggling today the heat and a hectic week are catching up with me.
DeleteExcellent stuff, Mark! The rotund Turkish officer is a favorite of mine too! That figure was a painted gift from the Mad Padre for winning his multiplayer Diplomacy game as Turkey a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. He is a real character that gunner!
DeleteNice Mark, a very natural looking base and yes, that officer adds much to the charm of the artillery, I feel I know him :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm...I like to think he is the kind of chap you would expect to see in an Indiana Jones adventure
DeleteI do like these gunners, well done!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil, I hope they shoot as good as they look!
Deletethey are lovely models and you have done a great job on them as usual, Mark.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence. Two units to go.
DeleteLovely toys Mark...
ReplyDeleteYes a conveyor belt... that is my image of your painting desk... A conveyor belt calibrated to your painting speed... possibly with a bell that rings as each unit/stand comes off the end.... ;-)
All the best. Aly
You must have a camera in my house, because that is exactly what happens...well almost...you clearly do not have sound because it is not a bell that rings, but a canon fires and the National anthem of the unit presented blares out...the neighbours are starting to get annoyed!
DeleteI new it...
DeleteAre there any flags?..... ;-)
I tried for flags but I couldn’t get planning permission from the council for the pole.
