Those look like nice figures but what are these guys doing?

The Rough Rider, in tan, is suppose to be manning a machine gun and the other two figures would be the gatling gun crew.

Thanks - thought they might have to do with gunnery but wasn't sure.

No problem, I believe BMC is planning to re-release the gatling guns with some sort of civil war accessories set if you're interested. Not sure about the machine guns though.

Found a pic of the Gatling crew in action:



Interesting about BMC releasing the Gatling with ACW accessories. I'm more into ACW than Rough Riders - problem is, BMC gun uses Bruce feed which didn't come out until 1881. There are models with Broadwell (1870) and Accles (1883) drums but those also are post-ACW. I've never tried to convert one to ACW hopper feed but it looks like it wouldn't be too difficult.

Sorry, Scott. Would've given you credit if I'd realized it was yours - I just grabbed it off Google images.
