C17th Frame Gun Battery
« on: 22 March 2010, 06:28:27 PM »
Some slightly larger shots of my frame gun battery from last week's round of the LPL...

All from Bicorne Miniatures, although interestingly, from at least two, possibly three different sculptors...  ;)

Strikingly good paint jobs Cap'n.  As regards the figures, I particularly like the chap fiddling with his pistol and the expression on the face of the guy holding the wick (correct terminology?).  Wonderful.

Top job, as always.  8)

Yes, the purple's not terribly historical, I know. At least not for ECW... But for TYW maybe?  ;)

Not sure if these are more like falconets or galloper guns, but they're what Bicorne sell as frame guns...  :?

I shall try not to worry about it too much  ::)

Wonderful stuff that Captain, now for the odd pointless question. The powder barrel has a bit of sack cloth on it, was this sculpted by you or part of the original?

cheers
