Two very fine entries.

Those Marines look a lot like converted Victrix, is that the case?

Yes. Victrix plastic bodies with the ex-Victrix metal heads, now carried by Brigade Games. The sergeant with the spontoon is a metal figure from the command pack, alos now carried by BG.

Great stuff Oliv, nice metal  :)

Excellent Richard, assembly and paintwork  :-*

I think the Sashes are the wrong colour so prepare to repel borders  ;)

Thanks.
They are all from Reaper (goblins are in metal and the giantess is a bone).

lol

The photo has brought them out a bit lighter than they really are - they're a bit more crimson and a bit less pink.

If crimson is the wrong colour for Napoleonic British Royal Marine sergeants' sashes, then all I can say is: 'face? bothered?' :D

Love the marines I think being geeky here the sash would be scarlet as would the officers tunic whilst the men would be red, but they look bleeding good 8)

Frank - that's it. No more red entries after this round  ;)

Ollv - I should have said before - I very much like the depth you have achieved in your picture, blending the model trees into the real ones - that works really well.
There's no scenic backdrop quite as good as the real thing  :)

Love the "Beat to Quarters" figures are you actually painting for a game or just because there lovely figures?  :-*

No, they are actually to play with  :)

The thread concerned is here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=40047.0 where you can see these very same figures in their unpainted, kitbashed state.

I need to build a RN landing party force approximately 50 - 60 strong. I'm currently around halfway there... ::)

Both entries have a lot of character and life.

I really like the implication of action in the picture with the boats, I can almost hear the yelling. The goblin pic has a lot of motion as well. Was that picture taken outside? Both are great.

Thanks
