I was going to put in before & after pictures but umh, well, apparently, despite having appeared in many battle report photos, only one or two have had their portraits done. Oh well, what's done is done.
Anyway, when I originally decided to go for the Shiny Toy Soldier look 10 years ago, this is more the look I wanted. At the time though, I had somehow managed to convince myself that my table was too small for anything but musket era battles in 40mm, hence the choice of the 1840's.

The turned up brim and bandoleered rider is a smart look that spans a goodly timeframe and unit types. A particularly nice fit for shiny toy soldiers.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, also a long time favourite.
DeleteRoss- sensational figures- looking excellent! Hope to see a forthcoming Battle involving them. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteJust waiting for a rainy day.
DeleteBeautiful additions Ross!
ReplyDeleteRoss Mac,
ReplyDeleteI've been away for two weeks, and I am just catching up with your blog. I really like the latest figures you have been adding to your collection. They look just right for the late nineteenth/early twentieth century, and I look forward to seeing them in action.
All the best,
Bob
Me too.
DeleteThey look great Ross! Is the PomPom from Scruby?
ReplyDeleteGloss varnish covers a multiple of sins.
DeleteIts a kluge I improvised 3 years ago when I looked at a picture of a pompom and decided that it looked like an oversized maxim on a gun carriage. Scruby 40mm Gatling carriage + 54mm Vickers MG barrel by Airfix.
