Sneeky peek for you Galipoleers - Gripping Beast Turks/ANZACs

[soapy]

So the Salute releases are finally finished and being a sculptor not a photographer I beg forgiveness for these awful snapshots...

Ottoman Officer charging


ANZAC Officers leading the charge



Loads of stuff to come covering all sorts of things From Gallipoli, Palestine and Iraq. I'm sure I'll be here to pick your brains on a somewhat regular basis so I offer the odd shot of new things coming up as payment.

Stay lucky,
Soaps.

Hi Soapy,

Mate they are super figures :love:

I'll make sure my group is aware of this.

Can you do a favour please and have some sort of size chart next to them before someone asks.

I'll repost pics later with a scale guide but to give you an idea they are the same size as GWM stuff.

Cheers for the advice.

Stay lucky,
Soaps.

Nice looking sculpts

One way to get around a short focal length or the lack of a good macro setting is to take the photos at a slight distance but at a higher resolution and then crop then down to just the miniature.

I had to do that a lot with my old camera.

Hey Soaps,

Are you doing the French for Gallipoli as well?

[Plynkes]

Am I right in thinking these are from the new Gripping Beast range? Lovely dynamic poses.


Personally not what I'm after right now. Can't wait to see what else is planned, though.

Hey Soaps,

Are you doing the French for Gallipoli as well?

Eventually, yes. In fact I'm busy sorting through some reference for hats amongst the Frenchies. There is an interesting shot of a FFL chap in a 'pith helmet' and I'm looking to see how common this was 'coz I really fancy doing a load of them, along with the regular French too.

Stay lucky,
Soaps.

Nice, especially the Turk officer with the sword.

Nice, especially the Turk officer with the sword.

Yep, he´s my favourite sculpt, too.

[Mancha]

VERY nice.  I especially like the Ottomans, although the sword-bearing officer's pistol holster looks somewhat small.

[Svennn]

Me likey, me buy at some point but the mould line on the dolly of the last one is a little worrying

[Leapsnbounds]

The figures look great!  I hope that they will fit in with all the Brigade Games Miniatures that I have in the period.  They look like they will add a lot of color and character if they are in scale.

Lovely little blokes Soapy like the style and animation much mor ethan the legs akimbo big guns a holding that seems to prevail for WW1

[pbeccas]

Soapy, will you be doing HMG teams to compliment the Turk and Anzac packs?

I've just read "The Ship That Changed the World", an account of the Goeben & Bresslau.

Any chance of a German/Turkish naval landing party ?
