A Greate Gunne .


Been plugging away at my plastic ECW 54mm figures and got this gun and crew done . The gun is a metal pencil sharpener with the sharpener removed , painted and varnished . Am finding this hot weather not very conducive to painting so my productivity has dropped - roll on the wet weather ! .

  1. Somehow most appropriate, and charming, that a pencil sharpener should evolve into such a "prize of warre."

  5. Very nice. A lot of those bronze coloured sharpeners are really useful. A friend used a steam engine one in large numbers for his 15mm Victorian sci fi games. I'm with you on rain over sun... This hot weather stops one doing much.

    1. Got a Gatling gun with the same deal, remarkable models really, yes I'm getting bored with all this fine weather (grumpy old man mode)
