These figures have been awaiting painting for weeks and though I'm all fired up to start painting Medieval knights for ' Lion Rampant ' my guilty conscience got the better of me and so I thought I'd get them done first. I've been wanting to do some Engineers for my 40 mm SYW-ish armies for ages and so I converted these artillery crewmen by adding shovels etc from plastic card and brass wire .
It took me a while to decide on a suitable uniform , but finally settled for the Hanoverian Engineers in their light blue coat and red cuffs - here seen busy plundering an ancient monument for artifacts to sell to antiquarians . ( click on photos to enlarge )
Nicely done, some good conversions
ReplyDeleteAgreed, and actually kind of pretty in a very military way.

Lovely painted conversions and splendid background! Tell Us more about the ruined temple...
ReplyDeleteIt's an aquarium decoration from ' Pets at Home'
DeleteAllan stole my words! So let me add really good work on the shovels.
ReplyDeleteThey where rather fiddly to put together , Tony
DeleteNice work there Tony. Looking good.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed - very nice work - they have turned out great. KEV.
ReplyDeleteVery nice figures. The temple looks good too...could double as a folly in a landscape garden.
ReplyDeleteYes its a sturdy structure , Tony
DeleteI don't have any Enginners in my 40mm PA armies. Going to have to get some of own.
