I was trying to post these up yesterday but unfortunately drying time beat me so I finished them about 5 am this morning. (Yes I know it was too dark to paint properly, but I was just finishing the bases). Again these are painted for Matt as part of his colonial collection. I have painted some British landing party before and these are painted and based to match. No Big surprises about the colours I am sure. 
There was a close u picture but sorry too dark today. So here is one with the flash and one without. I am confident you can tell the difference.I do not know the make of the figures, but they are well cast and sculpted and just fractionally better than Copplestone (in my opinion). 7 In all and now ready to battle her majesties enemies.
All the best and I will post again very soon.
Nice.........if you do find out whose they are let me know 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt. I am sure I will get told by someone.
DeleteMatt Crump & Clint: Figures appear to be Perry Miniatures, Sudan (metal) Range - British Naval Landing Party. Sgt is from the command pack, and the other chaps are 'at the ready'.
DeleteThanks Roy. You are not the first to say Perys. So I have to take it that is what they are.
DeleteNice one. Though I reckon the chap with the whistle really does need a sheep dog to complete the set ... How else does he expect to herd those camels! :))
ReplyDeleteThanks Roy. As it happens I do have a sheep dog (in scale) that I once bought from Stu. Maybe I should do one as you suggest.
DeleteNice set!
ReplyDeleteThanks David. Working on Sikh infantry next
DeleteNice Tars there Clint :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Tamsin. Makes you want to play a horn pipe doesn't it!
Delete5am??? I thought only I was up then (not painting though) these look good
ReplyDeleteIan
Thank you Ian. Yes 5am and painting. Like many people I do have trouble sleeping. And if you are up at that time at least best to be productive.
DeleteThank you Adam.
ReplyDeleteNice work on these.
ReplyDeleteThank you martin. As mentioned above Sikhs next.
DeleteCracking stuff Clint. Those sculpts do indeed look rather nice. What colour blue did you use perchance?
ReplyDeleteThank you Blax. The colours were . Starting with Black undercoat. Coat d'arms "Deadly nightshade, (164). Then a mix of Deadly nightshade and games workshop "Enchanted blue" and finally "Enchanted Blue". I hope that helps.
DeleteVery nice work as always Clint. Good use of your 5am time.... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Gobo. Too dark at 5am to do much, but I can base ok at that time.
DeleteWhen I first got interested in Colonials it was a photo of a Naval Landing party (In a Featherstone book iirc) and these do little to deminish my interest.
ReplyDeleteThese look 'jolly good' Clint and do I foresee more of these with reinforcements, cannon and gatlings ?
Thanks Joe. As they are Matts figures and as I know Matt likes artillery I feel some kind of large gun will take the field with them.
DeleteVery nicely painted figures. You can see more of them in the flash-lit photo but the darker one is more atmospheric so both are good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan. Clearly so early in the morning is not the best time to take photos.
DeleteGood work on the hearts of oak!
ReplyDeleteThank you Fran. Some more Native foot soon. But first maybe a little JD.
DeleteCracking job Clint, and I admire the dedication of finishing them at 5 am!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. Not every night is 8 hours and something to do Is good for the mind/soul.
DeleteNice Jolly Jack Tars - ready to have at the enemy to earn their ration of grog!
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul. I am sure every man will do his duty.
DeleteVery nice mate! Have to disagree about the casts vs Copplestone though. Those are beautiful AND they are in sennet hats!
ReplyDeleteThank you Millsy. Everyone is allowed to like different sculpts. Having painted about 20 Copplestone sailors in the past I personally find these to be slightly better. Nothing wrong with the copplestone figures at all, but personally I prefer these.
DeleteGreat job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. I think that may have finished the naval landing party At least for a while).
DeleteThese are vey attractive... inspires me to want to dig out my (still unpainted) Seabattalion and spruce them all up.
DeleteThanks Stephen I get very inspired by others blog posts. It usually sends me spinning of at a tangent as I want to start a new project or paint a new thing. My advice is stick with what you are doing as you may well be inspiring someone else.
