I'm really happy with the Warfare Miniatures castings; well made with good detail, they go together nicely and paint up easily.
The cart has a subtle wood grain texture, not as pronounced as the Empress limber and oxen yoke but still quite easy to bring to life.
Of all the minis in this batch the gun gin is my favourite; so simple but I love it!
I bought a resin cannon from at the Bring and Buy at Trumpeter's this past April; as it didn't have a crew this was a good use of it.
The Foundry figures were also fun to paint. Typical of Perry sculpts, the right amount of detail without going over the top. The fellow with basket on his back is from the Civilians pack, but I thought he would make a good addition to the engineering crew.
The petard crew is great, though I didn't get them lined up well on the base; fortunately you can't really tell in the photos.
While rummaging through the mini back log I found another unit of unfinished horse from Jeff; it looks like they will be up next on the painting table... though really, I should get another couple of foot regiments painted
Very good work on these! I really like the petard crew.
ReplyDeleteCracking job and great pictures!
ReplyDeleteLovely work, and you have really brought that wood grain out beautifully, especially on the gun gin.
ReplyDeleteGreat additions!
ReplyDeleteDo the horse, Royalists always have lots of horse.
ReplyDeleteI am splitting the difference and doing a bit of both.
DeleteI particularly like the gun gin- unusual!
ReplyDeleteYes, that is what I thought. I have another team of Empress oxen that I want to build a drug for; I should be able to convert a wagon easily enough and it would look right parked beside the gin.
DeleteJF, Phil, Lawrence, Gonsalvo thank you for the compliments.
ReplyDeleteMore great 'colour' for your table top. Very nice. Must paint up my 'gin'.
ReplyDeleteGreat models well painted and displayed. Paeticularly love the sapper team in the trench, and the petardiers. Do you use them in siege games or is it a diorama?
