BOOM!
This second Spanish battery, fielding an 8 lber and a howitzer, is from the firing set of Brigade Games figures.
Lots of animation and character in the Paul Hicks sculpts!
Very nice gun castings from Brigade games (French range) as well.
Excellent sculpting of the uniform details.
Only the finest for the Real Cuerpo de Artilleria!
Love the gunner with hands over ears!
ReplyDeleteNice brushwork, Peter!
Thanks, Jon. Me too!
DeleteThose are some beautiful paint jobs!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Scott... even if not half as good as you'd do on the same figures! :-)
DeleteThey look superb, excellent job Peter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Phil!
DeleteCool painting!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked them, Ray!
DeleteThese look wonderful Peter and you have answered a question for me in the colour of the timber and woodwork for the Spanish guns. For some reason I thought they were red. These guns of yours look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carlo. I had thought they were red as well, but not the case. Maybe that was an earlier era? It is noted that the 'cobalt Blue" could fade to a more grayish shade over time. and especially as the war went on, unpainted wood wasn't uncommon.
DeleteExceptional work! I do like the colour of the guns. It was unexpected.
ReplyDeleteThanks, John. Until I did research for this army, I didn't expect it either.
DeleteRather Regal look to these chaps
ReplyDeleteMusty be the yellow trimmed bicornes...
DeleteVery nice, and I especially like the pose with the figures leaning forward. Much more dynamic than those just casually lounging around the gun that you often get with other manufacturers.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laurence, and i agree re: the posing of he crew.
DeleteNice looking guns and crew Peter!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark!
ReplyDeleteLovely looking guns and crew!
