Lieutenant, Assemble your gun crew!
I managed to steal an hour of hobby time today. (Bring on winter!)
May and Huzzah! are coming and I only have four of twelve pledged French Revolution units painted. I should have started on one of the additional twelve figure infantry units I need but four artillery crew sounded easier. Got a ways to go yet but the weekend looks promising.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

Looks like assembly required in more than one way! Good luck and have fun.
ReplyDeleteDoing my best.
DeleteLooks to be a nice bit of Conversion going on here with the Artillery crew- look forward to seeing the final results. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThere has been some chopping, bending, drilling so far.
DeleteRecognise some of those castings - a lot of cutting and filing being put in .
ReplyDeleteSeemed easier than starting from scratch.
DeleteArtillery are easier, have to admit... I'm on a bit of a painting stop at the moment myself, haven't picked up a brush in a week - I have these moments.
ReplyDeleteI found myself thinking "last 'project' with these teeny little 40mm guys"...
