Nice gunners Mark and look forward to seeing the pontoniers shortly. Shame you missed the game today, comprehensive win for the Anglo Afghans ....yes, you read that correctly, although the latter may have been substituting for Azerbaijanis or similar.....Back of Beyond, in any case!
Yes it was a shame to miss the game, but alt least I was able to make the most of the sunny weather. Pontooniers are done and photographed...will post in a day or two.
Thanks Steve. I can still remember the days when there was only one gunner, with rammer , one with shot, one with linstock and one standing pointlessly. I much prefer these action sets.
You must have a pile of French artillery now. Lovely work Mark. I'm looking forward to seeing the pontoon set. Will you be counting the guys in the water as whole figures toward your annual total, or just a half each?
Seventeen gun sets for the 1812/13 army now. They part submerged figures are counted full as it took just as long to paint and base them as the others...actually slightly longer to base. Working on the civilians now.
Fabulous work Mark and inspiring! I have two Victrix French Line Artillery waiting to be done after I have finished the Bavarians and yours will be the standard I will aspire to (if not reach). Love the bases too.
Splendid looking French artillery, I'm also working on a horse and line infantry Perry pair, although from the pre 1812 period, lovely sculpts, lovely painting! Best Iain caveadsum1471

DeleteBoth sets look great, the red really "pops", very nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie. I agree the French artillery uniform is simple but distinctive.
DeleteLovely work and always a nice mix of poses for the artillery crews for us to play around with:).

Deletegreat job, those look nice. 😁
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew. I think I would prefer seeing guns from the side or the tea rather than front on!

ReplyDeleteThanks Chris. The Victrix gun sets are nice, although painful to assemble!

Thanks Iain, their artillery sets have the best animation I think.
