Has anyone got a photo of the Rapier Miniatures Naval Gatling Gun? The photo on the website is too diddly to see them properly. I am interested to see how they scale up against my other figures.
Thanks

I haven't got the Gatling gun, but I do have a few Rapier British Infantry in Glengarries.
They're a little on the small side, noticeably smaller than my Ironclad Miniatures and Redoubt British, but not too much so as to be unusable.

Any chance of a pic?
Ive got some Russian sailors that scale well with Perry that my Gatling (Gavloff infact) gun will be forming up with.

I picked one up at Hammerhead today. Still in the bag but I can probably get it together tomorrow night. Very nice I thought and a good price too.

I had a look at your blog (great stuff, by the way) and Rapier figs look like they scale up great.

Any picture of one next to something else would be great.
Thank yee all

Straight from the bag, no clean up whatsoever and a bit of blu-tac

with Redoubt, Mutineer, Foundry & Empress

It's not as nice as the Perry Naval gatling gune, so I'm not sure why you would want it?

Personally, because I already have the Perry one, I am not going to use the crew although they are adequate, it is cheap and I want to support the hobby as a whole.

Contrary to popular belief not everybody likes Perry Miniatures you know. :)

If you are comparing Naval Gatlings there is a good picture of the Empress Naval Gatling on this link. ;)

I already own a Perry Gatling and agree that it is perfect as only the Perrys can produce (although, I just saw the Empress one and am now having a minor faith crisis) and under any other circumstances I would have got a few more of them, it is simply that I have a unit of Naval Infantry from another manufacturer that look a little 'cartoonish' and I wanted a gatling that would have the same look.
