Yes 28mm foundry. And therefore yes they are for Matt. And NO he has not seen them yet. (Unless he looks here that is or maybe checks his emails on Monday when at work,)I did quite enjoy painting them, they were far easier than the Hussars! British Navy gun crew of the late 19th century again I know next to nothing about so I took the colours from the Foundry web site so if I am wrong so be it, more to the point so are they. Matt did suggest all 6 figures to go all on one base. I did try it and while they would all fit without looking daft I just felt they needed a bit more room. I Know Matt is OK with that as he did say if it looks too crowded I was to base them separately.
This (for now and at least until next weekend) halts the Crimean war for me. I still have a few commission pieces to paint for the club as well as my own stuff so I can honestly say there is a wide variety of things on the go. Including my Terrain boards.... but until I feel I have some more to say about them I will just plod away in the background.Hope you get out in the sun and have a good time. If Not enjoy some painting and gaming and watching TV it is all up to you as long as you strive for happiness!
All the best Clint
Even though these are not my cup of tea, you have certainly painted them very well, Clint. Good work.
ReplyDeleteOh, I always strive for happiness! :-)
Thank you Bryan. I really appreciate the comment. Just about to start some VBCW figs for another club member.
DeleteWonderfully colourful cannon crew, Clint. They look terrific with some great contrasts between the sailors blue and white uniforms and the cannon itself :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Blaxkleric. I have since then started painting for Richard in the club and even one figure finished for myself. None will be quite as colourful as these though
DeleteGreat looking gun crew Clint, sure Matt will like them when he see's them
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave I am sure Matt will like them as well. If not I will keep them hee hee.
DeleteThey look well cool Clint!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray. Praise from the praise worthy is above all rewards.
DeleteLovely job Clint. When I did mine, I remember thinking how small the crew felt, but they were a joy to paint.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. The crew did not seem small to me, but I have been painting a variety of scales recently so I think that may have a lot to do with it.
DeleteI like these figures a lot, they seem very active, rather than a lot od 'wooden' looking and you've done a great paint-job on them too (no surprise there).
ReplyDelete(Still can't understand why anyone want to game the Crimean war though)
Thank you Joe. I can see the appeal of Crimean war but I am sure it is not for me. In the same way that Napoleonic's is not for me either. I can enjoy a game but seriously just not by bag. I am much more 20th century and beyond. But each to their own.
DeleteGreat looking hun team. Nice one sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lee. I have heard from Matt and he is happy with them.
