I've had my bombard sitting in a box for two years now... reckon its gonna stay there a bit longer after this.


Thanks chaps  :)

Come on Rob. You know the Bishop of Carlisle needs a bombard...  ;)

Not quite.... Richard III made Carlisle castle into a massive gun platform, apparently, so the bombard will eventually be done in red and yellow city militia colours.

Eventually...

Just finished reading your article, I bought it purely on the strength of your weathering technique which I hope to replicate when I eventually get round to painting any one of the 6 guns I have waiting in bags - I have put them off for a few years now but hopefully this will give me some ready inspiration.

Really nice figures, the photography shows your srisp and colourful painting at its best.

Thanks Stuart and all :)

I know they almost certainly weren't allowed to get that rusty, but I just prefer the more lived-in look  :)

I've just torn open the first issue of WSS from the subscription my brother got me for Christmas; time to dive in and see those other pictures of your work  :D

The bombard is jaw-dropping.

So what are the chances of a group shot anytime soon?

Once I've finished the last couple of mounted figures. I do need to see all 24 together for my own sanity  :)

sounds interesting, I need to look into those conflicts.

Hi Kingscarbine,
If so, have you seen/got this book? Very useful for dress and equipment (apart from being a fantastic bit of art).
I would strongly recommend it.
Simon.
