Back to history. I have maintained my painting output with these figures all by Great war Miniatures and all painted for my mate Matt. First up we have a standard 3" Mortar and three crew. All dressed for the trenches and ready for action. Matt always cleans any figures I have to paint before I get them and for that I am really grateful. He did say one figure was badly cast but it looked fine by the time I got my hands on it.
Along with the mortar and crew an officer and a new recruit. He still has all of his kit and still salutes at the front line. These things will probably change as time goes by. Maybe they won't, having never served in WW1 trenches I only have books films and Photographs to go on.
Well keeping it short and sweet, that is it for today.
Except to say I now have my Secret Santa target.
See you in a few days, all the best Clint
Great work Clint, I like the chap saluting the officer.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray. Personally I see little use for guys saluting in wargames.
DeleteMore splendid work Clint and I agree with you in that the jerkins and sheepskin just add a little something.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. It is usually little things on models that I appreciate most.
DeleteGreat stuff Clint. I particularly like the officer as you seem to have painted him looking especially pleased with himself for some reason :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon. maybe he has Many reasons to be pleased with himself.
DeleteThere is indeed quite an equipment & clothing difference between the new recruit and the old hands at the mortar. Nice to see such variations.
ReplyDeleteThank you C6. I am sure in every war soldiers adapt to their circumstances by altering their dress Think of the Napoleonic wars were French back packs were better than British for example.
DeleteVery nice work Clint! As has been said nice variation in kit on the vets and the green guy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob a few more coming. I hope before tomorrow night.
