I had a busy December so this is my first
non-bonus round submission, and it’s figures that I actually had primed for
last year’s challenge but didn’t proceed with any further.
We have two Napoleonic 28mm siege cannon, a
12 pdr and an 18-24 pdr, both on fortress cannons. They are made by Brigade models and match the
similar pair that I did submit to last year’s challenge. But honest they are different models (check
the much chunkier rocks on the bases on tis year’s models). They are very nice pieces; I will use them
for War of 1812, FIW and SYW projects.
Also we have two 28mm civilians from
Reaper, a barman a working girl. I’ve
christened the barman Fred as he looks like a Fred, plus I remember an odious
barman named Fred from Coronation Street in the 80s. So Fred needs a Ginger, which fits for
obvious reasons. Michael A did a much
better job on this particular figure for a bonus round last year, so hopefully
everyone else forgot about that by now.
I think that these add up to 30 points (10
each for the weapons and 5 each for the foot figures).
From Curt:
Ah, it's great to have you on the prime-time roster Peter - good work. The barman is a great figure for so many periods and Ginger seems to be a perennial favourite (probably in more ways than one). I pity the poor bloody gunners who had to maneuver those two guns though that scree - I think mutiny is in the air. :)

Nice work Peter :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamsin
ReplyDeleteCurt, true enough on the rocks. They are a little chunky, I should get some smaller railroad ballast to replace them.
ReplyDeleteCheers, PD
Nice work mate. the 2 humans are so very versatile I am positive you will get much use out of them. And so they deserve.
ReplyDeleteI think when that barkeep calls last orders he'll hear no argument! He looks like he'd be hand in a fight. Fred 'the Fist' :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the regular show! I like Fred and the Ginger! She is obviously the reason why none notice Freds high drink prices!
ReplyDeleteI too feel bad for the fellows who had to manoeuvre the cannon! At least they can now go to Fred's for refreshment!
I can even picture the barman, he is great

Thanks all. Yes the basing on the bangers gets filed under "oh it'll be all right on the night".
