Today I present some British Artillery from the Napoleonic period in two scales - the 18mm stuff is for my collection, and the 1/72 is for my son's collection. In addition I have an AB 18mm mounted British officer. Let me know what you think, and please feel free to fire away with any questions :)
First up some 18mm British Foot Artillery made by Campaign Game Miniatures - I would have preferred them in stovepipe rather than Belgic shako, but that's what they had. Quite nice figures, even if they seem somewhat short in the legs:
Next up, the mounted British officer from AB (c/o Eureka Miniatures) :
Now for some 1/72 plastics that I have painted up for my son's collection. These figures are a combination of A Call To Arms and Revell sets:
Finally the 18mm chaps together in a group shot:
On the painting table at the moment I have some Warmodelling 18mm British Light Dragoons in the Tarleton helmet, a couple more 1/72 plastic Napoleonic figures, plus I may actually finish off a couple of WW2 figures. WW2 is not gone and forgotten, I have just put it aside for a time to do something different.....
All the best,
Sarge.
Stunning work on all thank you for sharing them with us
ReplyDeletePeace James
G'day James, thanks for your kind words & you are welcome :)
DeleteShalom,
John
Lovely work really complimented by your basing, too.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Mr Rosbif, glad you liked them.
DeleteSplendid work, must keep an eye out for those ACTA British gunners for when I upgrade my old Airfix British Infantry conversions
ReplyDeleteCheers Will. I think these ACTA figures are fairly tall compared to some other plastic 1/72.
DeleteLovely artillery Jacksqrge,
ReplyDeleteThe mounted officer looks particularly fine!
Hi Paul,
Deletethanks. You can't go wrong with AB I reckon.
All the best,
John.
Great stuff John. You do their faces so very well. Ever considered ancients?! How is the new job?
ReplyDeleteThanks Nick. I have painted a few ancients for the lad, and in the dim past painted up some 15mm figures - do you need some painting? I don't think I will be starting another period at the moment - I do like the "Dark Ages" however and have a few 28mm Arthurian types.
DeleteNew job is going OK - glad to be working three days a week instead of fulltime, still settling in really but the signs are promising :)
I really enjoy these posts at two scales. Lovely looking figures as ever. You are both to be congratulated.
ReplyDeleteG'day James, most pleased that you liked them.
DeleteGood luck with your new job John!
ReplyDeleteAlso, do you want to drag us into painting Napoleonics??? Gosh, you are doing some excellent work! :)
Thanks Thanos.
DeleteYou don't have to do Napoleonics T, just do what you enjoy. I have gone back to Napoleonics because I felt like a change & put WW2 to one side for a time....
Works of art mate!
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul :)
DeleteInspirational stuff. Especially when I'm mid project. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you sir, nice of you to say so :)
