Got some new molds off EBay and so am now able to do a complete gun and crew.
The wheels are complete swines to cast , took about five attempts to get two cast up perfectly, sorry for the shine on these figures but we had a brief glimpse of the sun just as I was photographing them.
The uniforms are not 100% correct - they should have turn backs - thinking my SYW is going to be Quasi-SYW . The Officer is very useful and castings of him could be appearing in other guises and the gunners as Engineers.
Great gun team!
ReplyDeleteOne of the tricks I have heard of for doing the wheels is to drill a small air vent in the middle of each spoke. I am going to try this next time I do some wheel casting.
ReplyDeleteThe gunners are useful. I am planning to add a tray carrying a bottle and glasses to the guy carrying the cannister round and adding him as a valet to my commanders staff.
Oddly enough, I was thinking the same thing last weekend while converting gunners to engineers...
DeleteWhat a good idea for a generals valet.
ReplyDeleteWhy would your Imagi-Nation be restricted to the 19th C.?
ReplyDeleteNice gun team; very versatil eposes and ripe for conversion
