Its Bonus Round time once again. This week the theme is "Water Feature"
I was going to paint up a Native American canoe or a few empty 15mm boats, I mentioned it
to Postie. who had a lightbulb moment.
Hence these boats...
I gave him these two Napoleonic Landing boats a few years ago, I think I bought them
on ebay??
So I'm unsure of who makes them?
They could be AB???
There are 19 x 15mm figures
1 x small gun
and of course the 2 boats
They're based on stiff card, that I stuck a few lolly pop sticks to, to stiffen the base
up even more. Then they're coated in pollyfilla, to create the wave effect.
Hopefully they won't warp?
I thought they'd be easy to paint gluing the figures in place on the boats first.
Oh how wrong I was!!!!
It took me double the time to paint these as it should.
But I'm pretty pleased with the results.
So that should be
38 for the figures
2 for the gun, its not that big really....Oi, none of that either!!
16 for the boats
50 bonus points
106 in total???
bravo sir
ReplyDeleteCheers Clint.
DeleteWow! Excellent water effect!So realistic!

DeleteExcellent modelling/painting Ray. As good as the boats and crews are it's those choppy sea bases that really caught my eye, so realistic they almost made me feel seasick!
