I simply love threads like this - all that information, and all those inspiring ideas!

I still have only 5 Brits in home service uniform (bought painted) + some assorted victorian gents and Holmes' for this era.... but I shall be back!

I am sure you could proably snag a 28mm scale Moniter some were. Toss some treads or wheels and it and there you go! instint Civil war on up to great war, land ship ship.

Hmm - you've got me thinking there...

Maybe this one from Ironclad:

I'm wondering how well this one would convert into an aeronef - either by adding a lower hull or turning it upside-down and added a deck.

Oooh I like the idea of turning it upside down.

Disaster!

So... after much love I'm finishing my mounted commander and ... yep... I dropped him. And of course what breaks off? The spike on his helmet!

I almost cried...

And then, like all good gamers, I pick myself up and begin the odessay to repair it. A tiny little spike thing... twice plinging off to god's knows where... with me each time on the floor searching... finally, I get a new spike made and glued in place.

*Sigh*

Photos to follow...

So here is "Phil Sheriton", General Commanding, US Expeditionary Force, Venus.

Quite a mix here... A Foundry ACW General, with a Redoubt head swap, riding a Perry horse.

I'm pretty happy with the way he game out, repaired spike and all... though the sword scabbard looks a bit weird so close up and detailed. In real life it looks a lot better, so I won't be touching it up. I also tried to paint the horse a bit differently to try to get a more "hairy" look if you will... first try at it. So they can only get better.

As a sideline, I found this button on my photo software called "actual pixels" and all of a sudden I'm getting much better detail out of my photos. Darn... wish I had found that button before.

Nice work Ray - as we have come to expect

Cheers Maties!

I've now turned to doing so more sailors while I await some new stuff... hopefully very soon.

I'm trying to figure out how to put this thing

in the air...

Bow cannon on a large aeronef ?

Very nice paintjob on Sheriton. I think he's evidence, however, that Redoubt heads are too large for Foundry bodies. (Aren't we talking about this issue in another thread?)
