Having got the final 6 figures painted and glossed, I took advantage of the temporary absence of cats and dog to photograph the completed force of cavalry in the back garden .
The Lancers of the Sublime Porte , the figures are of course Irregular 40mm and the mounted officer is from their Deutsch Homage range . This painting session has got me itching to get them on the table for a rousing game of 'A Gentleman's War' .
On a side note this corner of the back garden is referred to as the 'Roman Corner' (well only by me actually) . The statue is in fact a resin reproduction purchased many years ago from Carlisle museum and weathered up nicely outside , the alter is something I carved from a block of sandstone whilst at work when I should have probably been doing something more productive work wise for the (ungrateful) public .
Hi Tony- Nice to get outside for a bit of a Cavalry Display- be nice to see a Table Battle with the Irregular 40mm Figures. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteI always think larger scale figures look good out doors .
DeleteThe Lancers look great Tony. I do like Roman Corner; a man's garden is his own private Kingdom, and all that..
ReplyDeleteI confess I had to cut back things to get the photos .
DeleteLove the lancers Tony and I fancied doing a classical ruin area in our garden many years ago, but I wasn't allowed to.
ReplyDeleteMust admit I have a love-hate relationship with the garden , it's a battle sometimes .
DeleteG'Day Tony, Nice Lancers - the larger scale figures look great outdoors. Cheers Greg (Delta Coy Blog)
ReplyDeleteYes 28mm seem to get a bit lost in the great outdoors .
DeleteI have to select a time when there is an absence of animals .
ReplyDeleteSplendid looking fellows...
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing them in action...
All the best. Aly
Sadly I never do well with cavalry and always seem to get them killed off quickly , I hope this unit might be luckier .
