Today I have finished 2 Krupp field guns and 8 crew. 4 Crew for each gun. I did have to email another blogger to make sure the colour of the gun carriage and gun barrels were correct. It was a bit of a surprise when he said they were. Well I always think the worst and expect to be wrong so I was delighted to be on this occasion correct! 
Clearly these are Egyptian Army Krupp's and Egyptian crew. The white uniforms and red fezzes indicate that. I am not sure if Matt has any Mahdi Crew for the guns time I am sure will tell. And if so I look forward to painting them.The Guns were easy to put together, 4 pieces. 2 wheels, 1 Barrel and one gun carriage. So assembly was reasonably swift and straightforward. Painting was also straightforward, the guns were a simple grey and the crew were painted first cream and then hi-lighted sufficient times to reach a white top coat. So as figure painting goes very straightforward with no complications.
As I said I would do a group shot of them all the last 2 pics are just that, these 2 guns and crews and the previously painted mounted officers.
So with luck I will be able to get some of my own done ready for a Saturday post.... Probably a pair of Wolf Runners for Secrets of he Third Reich! But I may well get sidetracked.So take care, have fun and paint like crazy when you get a spare moment.
All the Best Clint
Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThank you Adam
DeleteYou have been busy. I do hope you post some more SOTR figures soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryan. I only have one more SotTr figure finished so far. I hope to have another by Saturday.
DeleteHappy Krupp day my friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you Fran. To Krupp or not to Krupp that is the question. And if you do Krupp make sure it is cleaned up afterwards
DeleteLovely work on the white uniforms, Clint, simply lovely. Nice to hear the "SotTR" mojo is going strong too :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon. Best not JINX the mojo by talking about it. But I do hope to have 2 wolf runners finished by Saturday.
DeleteVery nice work Clint :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Tamsin, I always have mixed feelings when I finish a batch of figures. Both joy and sadness at the same time.
DeleteThey are cracking Clint...
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave. I really appreciate the email regarding the colour of the carriages. I hope I have done them justice.
DeleteExcellent......Impressive level of production moving towards the holiday season😀
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt. For a while my painting Mojo has been only at about 65% and It I slowly increasing at the moment all ready to decline again in a few weeks. Fingers crossed it will not decrease though.
DeleteFezz light artillery awesome! Loving these
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon. Dr Who made it official when he said "Fezzes are Cool!"
DeleteInteresting that you paint up from a cream colour to finally get a white. I've always used a dirty 'off white' and built up from that, but your guys look very good.
ReplyDeleteGood to see the group shot - there does look a lot of them!
Thanks Joe sometimes I work up from a light grey but mostly from a cream. But as long as we achieve a result that we (the painter) are happy with it is all good.
DeleteLove em!
ReplyDeleteThank you David. I am sure there are more to come but probably NOT for a few more posts.
DeleteI'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through all my life a weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how i could be transformed into a powerful when i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
