Medium Gun

Finished 3 more artillerymen for a medium gun crew. Looking through the artillery park I will probably assign one 4.7, one of these guns and one light gun to each army to begin with.

These crew use the arms with rolled up sleeves, plus the Home Service artillery head.



One thing I do need to do is sand down all the guns and repaint them with a suitable dark green enamel paint.

Heavy Gun Crew

Finished off the gun crew for a 4.7 naval gun for Army Red.



Now on to the Line infantry and generals.

British Rifles

I appear to be on something of a roll as I managed to finish the rifles unit this weekend as well.



Next up is the heavy gun crew and then the Buffs.

Finally finished a unit!

It has been a long time coming but I have finally finished casting, assembling and painting a unit of Guards for Army Red. With the addition of the flag from TVAG they are now complete.



I have already assembled and painted 6 Riflemen and have another 14 assembled on the painting table so that will be the next unit to follow.

Cavalry

The summer didn't quite work out as planned due to two eye operations for cataracts but I am now back to painting some 54mm and I finally managed to get the two types of cavalry quickly painted.

The Dragoon Officer



The Dragoon Trooper

Finally an Update

Real life and other work which actually pays the rent has meant that I haven't had much time to work on the Little Wars Revisited range over the last few months.

Now that Salute is out of the way I have finally managed to start on moulding the rest of the range and have the moulds done for the Line Infantry, Fusilier heads and the Riflemen heads and arms. I also have an added incentive of an order for 108 figures..

I have also mastered the first cavalry figure - a Dragoon. The mould has a problem, unfortunately with one the horse halves and I am going to have to remake it (the saddle slipped in the mould) but the following is a couple of test shots of the figure cast up. The horse will fit together better and the rider sit slightly better on the remastered piece.





There is a second arm with the sword straight out for an officer figure and a set of reins to add that run between the horse's head and the figures hand/top of saddle if you want them.

Even casting the horse in two halves to reduce weight (it is slightly hollow) this is a heavy piece and will cost £11.00 for the horse and rider.

Once I have finished the moulds, I will announce the releases and get the figures up on the shop to buy - hopefully in a couple of weeks at the latest.

Painted Samples

I managed to paint up some of the new master castings:







Hopefully these will get into production moulds and be released for sale in the new few weeks
