The first batch of gunners are now painted and ready - I'm pleased with them. As ever, they are finished in my simple old toy soldier style, and the unpretentious little SHQ/Kennington crewmen are absolutely fine for purpose. These are the 3 batteries of 24pdr siege guns (old La Vallière pattern models, as is historically accurate for the French in Spain, though the purist might object to the rather later style of jacket...). The crews for the mortars and howitzers are undercoated and on the bottletops, so they should follow shortly.
The siege train also merits some senior officers to go with it, so I'll see what I can come up with.

The Dolphins confused me too. They are there to no good porpoise.
ReplyDeleteVery glad to see that the part of Mr Kinch's brain responsible for terrible puns has recovered from recent trauma. Nice guns and gunners too, thanks!
