I keep looking at these and thinking about having a dabble but alas too many other things on the go.

Post by: argsilverson on 08 April 2010, 03:29:42 PM: Nicely done! very inspiring!

Just a question for the moderator:
Is that BoB? or better fits in VSF (though no steam or rivets) or Other adventures forum??

Post by: rob_the_robgoblin on 08 April 2010, 05:04:01 PM: I maybe would have said colonial, because of the era...

Beautiful models. I think they will be enlisted to my Russian forces (VSF) soon! :)

Look like nobody want them on their board lol

I don’t know why… these are lovely figures and very nicely painted ones too ;)

Post by: andekmcc on 08 April 2010, 08:03:02 PM: I'm glad they started off in the BoB board I might have missed them otherwise :)

Post by: Will Bailie on 09 April 2010, 03:17:27 AM: There should be room for them on the colonial board - I've painted up a few for Central Asia (although nowhere near as nice as Troop of Shewe).
Title: Re: Russo Turkish War - Russian Battalion.
Post by: andekmcc on 09 April 2010, 08:42:15 AM: this is one company I feel I should be supporting as there based in Helensburgh, Scotland where I stay :) The latest sculpts by Martin Baker are improving with every new release, their latest editions to the 'highwayman' range are very well sculpted as well.
Title: Re: Russo Turkish War - Russian Battalion.
Post by: rob_the_robgoblin on 09 April 2010, 08:59:06 AM: Aren't some of the Ironclad minis Martin Baker, they are wonderfully detailed. :)
Title: Re: Russo Turkish War - Russian Battalion.
Post by: Troop of Shewe on 09 April 2010, 09:06:49 AM: These are Martin Baker sculpts, and i have been painting his work off and on with Outpost since the earlier Aztec ranges. Martin is certainly in his stride at the moment the detail and anatomy is very good, certainly less chunky than before, lovely to paint, as the details are there to paint! Looking forward to the Don Cossacks and Turk Cavalry passing my desk but then thats down to Shipka's master plan, not mine :o)
Title: Re: Russo Turkish War - Russian Battalion.
Post by: carlos marighela on 09 April 2010, 09:16:49 AM: Bit of a polymath then, old Martin Baker. Still, I'm surprised he needs the work, that ejector seat of his sold pretty well as I recall.
