Traditional Gloss Artillery Sets (1 Viewer)

[aujj65]

I thought I would start to get into the spirit of painting again by posting some photos of artillery sets that I have painted some years ago. Apologies to those members, who have seen these before, but I’m getting ‘Itchy’ waiting for the Elephant Battery castings to arrive for the ‘How-To-Paint thread.

Anyhow……………….this is the Tradition (of London) version of the Elephant Battery, which I painted some while ago, these beasts are resin cast and so are much lighter than the Fusilier Miniatures elephants.

...............More Tradition, this time Boer War Naval Brigade with 4.7" gun.

............this is the set that I will be painting for the 'H-T-P'. This is by Fusilier Miniatures.

......another FM set, this time elephant with screw gun as a load.

These are a favorite of mine, Tradition castings of the Royal Artillery in the Sudan with screw gun.

So, Jeff, who is going to be the lucky recipient this time or is this for your collection?

As you know Jeff, I'm not a collector of Glossy figures - but I can certainly see their appeal. Those are really nice photos. Thanks for posting and sharing them.

Hi Brad,

I know this sounds strange for someone who paints gloss figures but I don't collect gloss anymore and so at the end of the painting project they will have to go I'm afraid

Actually. I have an idea mulling around in my head as to what I am going to do with them.

Harry,

Thanks, I agree there is something about Gloss figures that just gets ones attention, but now I only collect Matt.

Jeff

P.S.

When you get back home next time we must set up a SOHK only thread.

Shall we insist on entry to the new SOHK thread being by invitation only..??

Hi Guys,

I have to say that those Elephant and Camel Batteries are about as good as it gets! Thanks for posting and let us know what you decide to do with them. I would be happy to give some of those poor elephants a home...

All the best

Some lovely pieces you & your wife have painted. Just a bit of info that tiger hunting set (which is fantastically painted btw) isn't Britains. If my mind serves me correctly it was either by Timpo or Taylor & Barrett.

Thanks for posting up the pics and looking forward to the new "How To" series.

Scott,

That's right T&B! Sorry for the bum info, the recasts of the elephants and tigers are resin.
