Finally got my British artillery done and based up, so I took the opportunity between showers to photograph them outside.
The gunners come with a mixture of head gear , forage caps and the odd 'Albert' shako .
I'm still not convinced by the advantages of photographing outdoors , the lighting looks more natural , but you have to try a take the photo without the neighbours garage appearing in the background.
The figures are 1/72nd Strelets and the guns are from the 'A Call to Arms' British Napoleonic box . I'm now working on another Russian infantry unit which will be ready soon.
You have done a superb job of the British Artilleryman's Uniforms- super- certainly tempted to go out and buy some Strelets and join in with the 1/72nd Crimea enjoyment- always been a favourite period the Crimea. Well done Tony. Regards. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThank you, the Strelets have a certain style, Tony
DeleteNice work! Painting and photography look first rate to me.
ReplyDeleteThank you , still playing around with outdoor photography to get it right . Tony
DeleteTony, I too didn't like capturing the neighbour's shed in my pgotos, so I built a photo stage (see http://stracmark.blogspot.co.nz/2016/06/a-photo-stage.html). It works a treat.
ReplyDeleteSeen your photo box on your blog , looks like a good idea , will have to give thought to getting one made , Tony
DeleteNicely done; the figures have some good poses
ReplyDeleteYes Strelets are quite sensible when it comes to poses , Tony
ReplyDeleteThat is an impressive looking battery you have there. Excellent brushwork!
ReplyDeleteThanks,I'm pleased with how they turned out, Tony
DeleteLove the different poses and the paint job, really nice!
ReplyDeletePlastic figures have got a bit more sensible with their poses since the days of Airfix , Tony
