Title: Victorian Post Boxes
Post by: yeomanmodels on 05 November 2013, 09:54:19 PM
Hello,
I know a few people have asked, and I've finally got round to making and painting some Victorian Post boxes. I understand that Victorian Post Boxes aren't really gothic, but I'm not sure where else on the LAF this post could go?

I talk about painting these on my blog (http://yeomanmodels.blogspot.com/2013/11/victorian-post-boxes-and-demon.html). I'm rather pleased with them. :) I liked making the Penfold box with all its Victorian detail on the top.

What do you guys and gals think?

Agreed!
I dont need to think of an excuse, though, as I NEED some already!

Just curious - will there be more mid-Victorian boxes available on the Ebay store? I keep checking back but they never seem to be listed. Cheers!

That looks like a Black Cat figure. They are currently in limbo I'm afraid. There's a whole topic on the. Commercial board about it. I have some of these postboxes and they are very nice. I also have the. Victorian water pump and an RAC callbox.
