28mm Royal Navy landing party

[Brian Smaller]

Hi chaps

Completed last week. My first effort for 2015. Shouldn't even be seen on the same forum as these by Captain Blood
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=40047.0

but I am a believer in what that great thinker Harry Callaghan said "A man(s) got to know his limitations".


Brigade Game models. Also included is an artillery battery of ship guns with some tars and marines manning them.

Please pop over and take a look.

Great stuff, especially the gun crews.

What are the basing sizes and the rule system you use?

[Brian Smaller]

The infantry are based on 60x40mm. I was going to put them on 40x40mm like my light infantry but I couldn't find any and couldn't be bothered cutting them out of 3mm balsa wood so went with what I had in my supplies box (I was away from home when I painted these you see).  I generally use the 40x60 bases for my infantry to try to keep bayonets inside the area of the base - something I decided to when I first started painting plastic infantry.  The artillery base is about 110mm diameter - give or take.

I have not really based these for any particular rule system. Using similarly based models I have used my Napoleonics for Black Powder, General de Brigade, Piquet and a few others.

Cheers

The miniatures are very nice and no shame on showing them.
I like them. Way better than mine.

Well done! I really like the RN landing party figures. They give me inspiration for my future War of 1812 Chesapeake campaign figures and games.

Comparisons are odious  
They're great figures aren't they, and you've done a good job on them.
I just wish Lon would commission Mr Hicks to do a few more packs. I always wanted a press gang, or a pack of boarders with marlin spikes and belaying pins...

  Odious except when they are true.  Your work is incredible.

I agree, be great to see some more in that range.

I'm working on these guys myself right now.   Glad you posted these.  I had no idea how to paint the gunners.

Did you mean the Marine gunners? Not sure if the caps are right but they look OK so went with scarlet.

Bonsoir Brian,

Splendid work and excellent figures!

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Yes the ones with the hand spikes on the base with the cannons.  I didn't know if they were marines or sailors.

They are Brigade Games as well.

Are these figures compatible with Perry British infantry and artillery?
