Title: 28mm British 81mm mortar, Design for Battle Miniatures
Post by: Rick F on 03 April 2023, 06:29:50 PM

Here's a British 81mm mortar from Design for Battle, it's resin and the figures come with no bases but as they're resin they are easy to drill into for a pin. The daysack is by Empress and some of the bits have been greenstuffed by me. He's making Russian troops next.

Very nice, both sculpt and paint.   These have jumped up the shopping list.

Thanks, they are nice figures. I think he's experimenting in doing them in quite a few scales.

Tube looks a little chunky but overall that's superb work both sculpting and modelling/painting. :-* :-*

Especially like the cover for the mortar that you have added from scratch!  :)

Thanks everyone. The barrel (never tube, tubes are for smarties and useless No3s lol) is the right size, it's the upper and lower stop bands that are too thick and make it look like that, I tried sandpapering them down but didn't want to risk snapping it. So the muzzle cover also is far bigger than it should be.
