Title: C17th Frame Gun Battery
Post by: Captain Blood on March 22, 2010, 06:28:27 PM
Some slightly larger shots of my frame gun battery from last week's round of the LPL...

All from Bicorne Miniatures, although interestingly, from at least two, possibly three different sculptors...  ;)

Strikingly good paint jobs Cap'n.  As regards the figures, I particularly like the chap fiddling with his pistol and the expression on the face of the guy holding the wick (correct terminology?).  Wonderful.

Very nice. Very very nice. Makes me want to get to my TYW figures and do something about them.

How can you be bothered to paint all that woodgrain?

Top job, as always.  8)

Lovely stuff, but purple sashes  :o  o_o ::) - you flashy devil  lol


The guns could even be described as galloper guns I suppose  ;)

Yes, the purple's not terribly historical, I know. At least not for ECW... But for TYW maybe?  ;)

Not sure if these are more like falconets or galloper guns, but they're what Bicorne sell as frame guns...  :?

I shall try not to worry about it too much  ::)

Wonderful stuff that Captain, now for the odd pointless question. The powder barrel has a bit of sack cloth on it, was this sculpted by you or part of the original?

cheers

Part of the original, James. A sack inside the barrel I suppose... I think I've got some more of these knocking around if you're need one or two  :)

I might be tempted to get my Perry ECW out again  :) Got your tray sorted, I'll pm you a photo towards the end of the week.

I found that the GW 'Bronzino's galloper gun' works quite well for ECW/TYW, I'll see if I can get a photo of that done aswell.

cheers
