Well, no, hahaha, but it looks so in the picture... he is actually standing with his hand on the way to a reload...

No he's not... admit it!

Or part of the Orichalcum Longrifle Brigade...

It appears I have obtained some resin heads from Ramshackle.

It appears I have been playing with some greenstuff and some plastic rod.

It appears that I've also put some odds and ends together commonly known as "bits".

So what does an Orichalcum Longrifle Brigadier look like?





... pics on the weekend  ;D

Dammit man stop teasing! The sooner you post pictures the sooner I can steal all your good ideas! (thus far I've got the ramshackle heads, and the plastic bodies, but I'm striking out on what to do to the guns - current opinion is in favour of tiny sequins on a paperclip to make a raygun-looking piece, but I can't seem to find any small enough... bought some tiny beads today to make transistor/lightbulb type bits...)

Ooh sequins... well, here is what I did. This is going to be a special weapon, rather than their standard issue weapons.

I present to you the Wolsley-Higgins Orichalcum Longrifle:





Being a relatively unstable substance, orichalcum cannot be propelled by the use of gun powder (as several of our dear old technicians at the Royal Armoury discovered). Thus, the projectile is launched by an intricate system whereby steam-power is harnessed to launch the orichlacum pellet out of the longrifle with a jolly loud pop! If the poor sod on the receiving end isn't shot dead, he'll be near dead with fright!

A breathing apparatus must be donned by the Longrifleman and his fellows, as orichalcum releases a fine dust that has some unpleasant side effects... at the most inopportune times.

Nice! What's your plan for the standard weapons - leave them as plain rifles or raygun-ify them?

Currently fed up of sticking beads onto dressmakers pins to make raygun barrels, as it's taking sooo long...
