The latest additions completed . First up is the third steamer for the flotilla . It’s based on bits from a resin Grand Manner stern wheel one I picked up a while ago. I built new superstructure from foam board, plasticard and also some printed card bits I had designed using PowerPoint. It is to represent a vessel from later in the period and has some heavier weapons , a ,12lb , 3lb and 2 maxim guns - these were all sourced from HLBS - nice pieces. I have made it so the various flags and ensigns are swappable.
the sailors are a pack I had from Pulp Miniatures- very nice sculpts . I also think this one will see duty on some pulp games I am sure.
Next a 48 figure unit for the Egyptian Army . All Perry figures . Just 1 left to do of these now
I just need to do a last sort through the Sudan lead pile boxes to see what I have left to do - its much reduced at least!
Magnificient troops and boat, well done Dave!

DeleteLovely stuff mate! Surely your steamer needs a name?
ReplyDeleteSteamy Mcsteamface...? Hmm maybe not
DeleteI remember going down The Nile in the 1990s on a vessel almost as fine as that, minus the artillery! I think I prefer your tabletop version, though. Wonderful work, Dave !!

DeleteWhat a collection Dave, and three steamers, not many gamers can tick that off in 28mm. A great build.
