| I think I have cracked it at last (see below). |
Here are a few shots of the latest batch of Epic P&S for Noel before I packed them up for posting. This represents the first 4 'cavalry' sprues which includes mounted and dismounted Dragoons plus commanded musketeers or Forlorn Hope. I suggested that the commanded foot be painted in varied coat colours to represent the fact that they were drawn off from different regiments and I think they look quite effective. I'm holding back the 6 cuirassiers as Noel wants a 3 deep regiment of 15 figures for the unit which will represent them well. Once again the Warlord Epic range proves to be great value.
I will just mention here the forthcoming Epic Punic Wars release of which there has been much hue and cry around the hobby sites recently. I'm sure you will all have seen the design of the Roman 3 deep bases which features a kind of 'blank' centre strip of heads and shoulders which I think is rather clever! I have no plans to go any further than my ACW but wold relish the opportunity to take on a future commission for this new range as I would love to see what I could do with them.
Currently on the May batch of 20mm Pony Wars for Mark, this time another 20 man Troop of 7th cavalry plus 40 more mounted Indians.
During the week a 'small' delivery arrived of figures arrived from 'Old John' for me to paint :) When John said it will keep me going for months he clearly was not joking. Will be going through the contents over the weekend, cheers John.
Finally Cornfield Mk4! The artificial Bamboo plant experiment proved to be a rather messy waste of time and ended up up in the bin. So, I went online to see what the world of model railways had available and invested in this fine little plastic kit for the grand sum of £15.00. I saw it and could not resist it, with luck I will get two fields (hexes) from this made in removable sections on 2cm square bases.
Those corn plants look perfect and Civil War-ish Lee, worth the money I’d say!
ReplyDeleteCheers Ian, I could not resist when I saw them :)

Those pike & shot era fellas look great Lee. The cornfield stuff is nice too. 👍
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Thanks Geoff, keeps me occupied :)

I like the look of the cornfields. Can you post a link for them?
ReplyDeleteHi Ray, Certainly can :) Link below for you. Best I have found, designed for 00 scale so I trimmed em down a bit for 15mm. They come in strips and the leaves can be twisted and turned etc, I just left them flat. The tiny corn stalks are moulded on to pick out in yellow :) https://www.modelscenerysupplies.co.uk/maze-or-sweetcorn-field?search=sweet%20corn
DeleteSplendid looking pike and shot, I would love to see what you would do with punic war epic!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Ian. I'm hoping that a commission for the Punic Wars will come along, save me spending my own money on it and then selling it :)
DeleteCheers,
Lee.
Those maize fields are really effective, perhaps a bit out of scale for C&C game but they go so well with the figures.
ReplyDeleteRob, great little product for sure! For C&C I had to fit them inside a 75mm hex and I trimmed the height down a little to about 15mm. Certainly from the one pack you could make a more conventional field at least 150mm square with lift out sections to a height of about 20mm, a good match for your scale figures?
